恋ざんげ
伍代夏子 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

あれは七月蝉しぐれ
瀬音したたるいで湯宿
ふたり渡ったあの橋は
女と男の紅い橋
あゝシュルルシュルルシュルル
明かりをつけても暗すぎる
あゝシュルルシュルルシュルル
淋しさばかりが群がって

夜更けのテレビは蝉しぐれ

いまは三月風の笛
みぞれ窓うつ港宿
砂に埋れたあの難破船は
思い出ばかりの恋ざんげ
あゝシュルルシュルルシュルル
春だというのに寒すぎる
あゝシュルルシュルルシュルル
海峡こぎだす　櫂もなく
夜更けのテレビに雪が舞う
あゝシュルルシュルルシュルル
手酌のお酒は酔いすぎる
あゝシュルルシュルルシュルル

帯とく音さえせつなくて
夜更けに泣いてる恋ざんげ

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of 伍代夏子's song 恋ざんげ tells a story of two different couples in two different seasons. The first verse talks about a bridge where a man and a woman once crossed, which is now just a memory. The sound of the cicadas is in the air, and even with the lights on, the darkness is too thick. They felt lonely, and the only sound that can be heard is the sound of the storm. The second verse talks about the winter season, and how the snow is falling outside while they watch the television. The memories of the past are still vividly felt, and the sadness still lingers. The singer reflects on the past and is haunted by lost love and the mistakes made.

The lyrics can be interpreted as a nostalgic reflection on the past, profound sadness, and the weight of memories. It talks about the regrets that come with lost loves, and the pain of making mistakes. The cicadas, the lights, the storm, the snow, the alcohol, and the sound of the wind all serve as a backdrop for this story of longing, regret, and nostalgia.
