中庭の少女たち
SHISHAMO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
そこが私たちの特等席
男子は禁制 ここは秘密の花園
ただの 溜まり場なんだけどね
これから これから
今から 行くから
いつもの中庭 みんなで待っててよ
いつまでも一緒は 絶対ないよね
わかってる
わかってる
わかってる
大人になって 酸いも甘いも知った時
今日のお昼と同じように笑いあえるかな
大人になって 大事なものが見えた時
またこの中庭に集まって笑いあえるかな
なんて、私だけなのかなあ。
いつもの中庭 少し遠い旧校舎
そこが私たちの特等席
喧嘩をするのも 泣いて抱きしめあうのも
全部この場所で起きたこと
これから これから
今から 行くから
いつもの中庭 みんなで待っててよ
笑い合っていてもね 私は不安で
バカだね
バカだよ
バカみたい
大人になって 酸いも甘いも知った時
自分の気持ち今日みたいに伝えられるのかな
大人になって 汚いものを知った時
君の涙自分のものだと思い合えるかな
なんて、私だけなのかなあ。
あの子はOL あの子はお嫁さん
あの子はお母さん
みんなきっとバラバラの夢を持ってる
変わらぬ笑顔とお弁当を持ち寄って
またここに集まるの
それが今の 私の夢
大人になって 酸いも甘いも知った時
今日のお昼と同じように笑いあえるかな
大人になって 大事なものが見えた時
またこの中庭に集まって笑いあえるかな
なんて、私だけなのかな?
なんて、私だけなのかなあ・・・
The song 中庭の少女たち by SHISHAMO is a nostalgic tribute to a group of young girls who used to gather at a certain spot in their school's old building. The lyrics paint a picture of a forbidden, secret garden where boys are not allowed, and where the girls could be themselves, have fun, and make memories that would last a lifetime. The singer wonders if they will be able to keep in touch and stay close as they grow up and face the challenges and joys of adulthood.
The opening lines of the song set the scene in the school's courtyard and the nearby old building, which serves as the girls' special spot. They describe it as their "first-class seat," implying that it is a cherished and coveted space. The girls have made it their own, even though it's just a regular hangout spot, where they can spend time together, away from the prying eyes of boys and adults.
The chorus repeats the phrase "from now on," as the singer promises to revisit the spot and their friends. It is clear that the camaraderie and sense of belonging they have found in the courtyard will be hard to replicate in the future. The song ends with the singer expressing her wish to continue meeting her friends at the spot and to have the same level of carefree laughter and connection in adulthood.
