よこはま・たそがれ
五木ひろし Lyrics

The lyrics to 五木ひろし's song "よこはま・たそがれ" depict a scene in a small hotel room in Yokohama at dusk. The room lingers with the scent of cigarettes and a lingering kiss. The sound of blues and a whistle reverberate through the room, along with the tears of a woman. The singer mentions that the person he loved has left and will not come back.

He then continues to describe the back alleys of Yokohama, where people flock to dive bars and drink unsatisfying alcohol with transient liars and whimsical men. Amidst the sound of a guitar playing love songs and the non-stop chatter of the street, the singer once again laments the loss of his love, insisting that they have left and will not return.

In the final verse, the memories of the person who has left are like the bleakness of the winter that comes with a grey coat. The resignation of not being able to get the person back is compared to the cold light of dawn. The sound of the ocean tide crashing and the solitary seagull on the lighthouse serve as a final reminder of their love, which has now come to an end.

Overall, the song expresses the deep sense of loss and heartbreak that comes with losing someone you love. The lyrics flow beautifully, with vivid descriptions of Yokohama and the emotions that one feels when experiencing a heartbreak.
