三船浩 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
恋の涙か むせび音か
男ごころに しみじみと
なぜか昔を 思わせる
ひとり今宵も 裏町の
暗い酒場で 酌む酒よ
胸の痛みに しみじみと
なまじ情が 仇となる
恋の涙か 夜の雨
つきぬ歎きに しみじみと
更けて巷の しのび泣き
夜の都に 降る雨は
恋の涙か むせび音か
男ごころに しみじみと
なぜか昔を 思わせる
ひとり今宵も 裏町の
暗い酒場で 酌む酒よ
胸の痛みに しみじみと
沁みる思いの やるせなや
なまじ情が 仇となる
恋の涙か 夜の雨
つきぬ歎きに しみじみと
更けて巷の しのび泣き
The lyrics to 三船浩's song 夜更けの酒場 (Yoru Fuke no Sakaba) paint a picture of a melancholic scene in the city at night, as rain falls and a man sits alone in a dark and dingy bar in the back alleys. The rain could be either tears of love or the sound of choking sobs, but either way it seems to stir up memories of the past for the man deeply. He drinks his alcohol as he contemplates the pain in his heart and the bittersweet emotions that come with it.
The lyrics suggest that sometimes feelings can be a double-edged sword, as they can both bring joy and sorrow. The tears of love or the rain at night can both be interpreted as cleansing to some extent, but they can also lead to endless lamentation and quiet weeping in the city's shadows. The man is left to struggle with his "yarusena" - his feelings that cannot be easily resolved.
Overall, the song evokes a strong sense of emotion and nostalgia, painting a vivid picture of the city at night and the struggles of love and loss.
