片想い
坂本冬美 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

あの人のことなどもう忘れたいよ
だってどんなに想いを寄せても
遠く叶わぬ恋なら
気がついた時にはもう愛していた
もっと早く
「さよなら...」言えたなら
こんなに辛くはなかったのに
せめて一度だけでも

その愛しい腕の中で
「このまま傍に居て
夜が明けるまで」と
泣けたなら

肩寄せ歩く恋人達
すれ違う帰り道
寂しさ風のように
いやされぬ心をもて遊ぶ
あの人の微笑やさしさだけだと
知っていたのに
それだけでいいはずなのに

愛を求めた片想い
愛を求めた片想い

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to 坂本冬美's song Kataomoi depicts the bitterness of unrequited love. The singer says that she wants to forget about the person she loves because it hurts so much to love someone so far away, and her love is unattainable. However, as much as she wants to forget, she finds that she cannot help but continue to love this person. She regrets not being able to say goodbye earlier because it would have hurt less. She longs to be held in the arms of the one she loves and cry in his embrace.

The second verse talks about the pain of seeing couples walking arm in arm, passing each other on the way home, while she is left alone with her heartache. She knows that the person she loves is only giving her a gentle smile and kindness, but she still wants more. She wants his love, and yet, it is only a one-sided love. The song ends on a sad note with the realization that this love is unrequited and will never be returned.

Overall, the song is a bitter-sweet exploration of unrequited love, longing, and heartache. It speaks to the pain that many people have felt when loving someone who cannot or will not love them back.

ハマショーだ！
歌詞だけだと一瞬ユーミンっぽいけど、何となく酒場の香りがする笑笑
そして少し昭和かと思わせてイケメンギャージンさんがかっこよくBARで呑んでる！

夜に滲んだ街が素敵！
大人の恋な感じがします。
いつものblueさんの世界が少し大人っぽくて
切ない男女のお酒の場面みたいですね！
blueさんもこうして素敵に呑んでらっしゃるのかな？😉😉

ビール一杯で酔っ払う人とちゃうわ〜😂
