恋
坂本冬美 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

愛することに疲れたみたい
嫌いになったわけじゃない
部屋の灯りはつけて行くわ
カギはいつものゲタ箱の中
きっと貴方はいつものことと
笑いとばすにちがいない
だけど今度は本気みたい
あなたの顔もちらつかないわ

男はいつも待たせるだけで
女はいつも待ちくたびれて
それでもいいとなぐさめていた
それでも恋は恋

多分あなたはいつもの店で
酒を飲んでくだをまいて
洗濯物は机の上に
短い手紙をそえておくわ
今度生まれてくるとしたなら
やっぱり女で生まれてみたい
だけど二度とヘマはしない
貴方になんかつまずかないわ
男はいつも待たせるだけで
女はいつも待ちくたびれて
それでもいいとなぐさめていた
それでも恋は恋
男はいつも待たせるだけで
女はいつも待ちくたびれて
それでもいいとなぐさめていた

それでも恋は恋
それでも恋は恋

Despite that, they still find comfort in the idea of love. The bridge of the song expresses the longing for a different life, where if they were to be born again, they would want to be a woman.
