Glasses of Dragonfly
The glasses worn by the dragonflies are light blue glasses
Because it flies in the blue sky. Because it flies
The glasses worn by the dragonflies are shiny glasses
Because it was watching the glittering sun. Because it was watching
The glasses worn by the dragonflies are autumn colored glasses
Because it flies through the clouds in the sunset. Because it flies
*************************************
The song “Glasses of Dragonfly” sings a child’s question about what the big eyes of a dragonfly flying in early autumn in Japan are watching.
The lyricist, a doctor, sang the scene that the children were playing with the dragonflies that they saw call on a patient.
This song depicts the changing seasons from blue sky to sunset clouds and from summer to autumn.
It has been selected as one of “100 Best Japanese Songs”.
