Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ふたり涙をこらえ歩いたの
白い夜霧が流れる街かど
こころも濡れてゆく
人はなぜ愛しあうのよ
ひとつになれないくせに
嘆きしか残らないのに
燃えてそして悲しむのね
泣いてよろめく私
あの日淋しい胸をかばいあい
ふたり倒れるように愛したの
ほんの小さなふたりの灯
どこかにともってた
人はなぜ愛しあうのよ
ひとつになれないくせに
嘆きしか残らないのに
燃えてそして悲しむのね
霧があなたと私へだて
恋が終った夜更け
The lyrics to 南沙織's song 夜霧の街 (Night Fog City) depict the sadness and melancholy that arises from a failed love affair. The song starts with the singer questioning where to say goodbye to her lover, as they walk through the tears and try to conceal them. The white night fog enveloping the city only adds to the melancholic atmosphere, making their hearts grow wet with sorrow.
The singer then contemplates why people fall in love despite not being able to merge into one entity. They are left with nothing but sorrow, burning within them and becoming sad. The singer sees herself stumbling over a rock while crying and feeling lost. In the second verse, the song remembers the happy memories of their love affair, where the two of them held each other to avoid the pain of loneliness. But now, with just a lingering small flame of love, they can't seem to find each other again. The fog acts as a barrier between them, and the night moves on as their love comes to an end.
