Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

お洒落しゃれても惚れてはないよ
なくていいのよわたしには
心に決めてる人がいる
女は女は女は死ぬまできれいでいたい

おしゃれしゃれしゃれシャシャンとね
夢いろ華いろポテポテシャンと

花が呼ぶから蝶々がとまる
あまい香りにさそわれて
いっぱい吸ってねこの蜜を
女の女の女のいのちは咲きみだれるの

おしゃれしゃれしゃれシャシャンとね
夢いろ華いろポテポテシャンと

見えるところも見えないとこも
お洒落するのよさりげなく
襟あしくちびる爪の先
女は女は女は優しく気配りするの

おしゃれしゃれしゃれシャシャンとね
夢いろ華いろポテポテシャンと

涙こぼせば化粧がおちる
泣かせないでねいつまでも
たまにはすねても許してね
女の女の女のえくぼはかわいいものよ

おしゃれしゃれしゃれシャシャンとね
夢いろ華いろポテポテシャンと

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of おしゃれ小唄 (oshare kouta) by 三代沙也可 talk about the essence of being a woman. The singer states that even though she is fashionable, it doesn't mean she's in love. She knows the person whom she has feelings for and doesn't care if she loses anything materialistic. She wants to be beautiful and desired until her last breath.

The song then goes on to describe how a woman portrays herself in different situations. It talks about how the woman gracefully dresses up, making sure to pay attention to the smallest details like her collar, shoes, and nails, and how she wants to be good to everyone but also wants to be respected. Even if she cries, she doesn't want to ruin her makeup and wants her dimples to look cute when she smiles.

The overall message of the song is to show how a woman wants to be loved and appreciated. She desires to be desirable and yet still wants to be strong and independent. As a woman, she wants to be everything, beautiful, strong, caring, and independent, and she hopes that her partner will understand and appreciate her for who she is.
