男の酒場
三船浩 Lyrics

The song "Otoko no Sakaba" by Hiroshi Mifune talks about the feelings of a man who is drowning his sorrows in a dark bar in the back alleys of the city. He is nursing his heartache and crying his bitter tears, but nobody will understand what he is going through. He is there to forget about a woman with whom he was once deeply in love, but who now has forgotten him. The lyrics suggest that he is not only bitter about the woman but also himself for still having feelings for her. The use of the word "意気地なし" emphasizes his sense of helplessness and weakness in the face of his unresolved emotions.

The man reflects on how he once left his hometown because he fell in love with this woman who now seems distant and unfeeling towards him. His loneliness and heartbreak are palpable in the lyrics, and it's clear that he is only able to find solace in the bar where he is drinking. The song is beautifully melancholic and captures the emotional turmoil of a man who is struggling in the aftermath of a failed love affair.
