Hi No Kuni No Onna
坂本冬美 Lyrics

These lyrics are from the song "火の国の女" (Hinokuni no Onna) by 坂本冬美 (Fuyumi Sakamoto). The song talks about the passionate nature of someone from the region of Higo (also known as Kumamoto), which is referred to as the "land of fire" and the "land of love." The lyrics depict a fierce and intense love, comparing it to the burning flames of Mount Nakadake.

The first verse expresses the willingness to give one's life if asked, emphasizing the depth of passion and desire. The second verse mentions the hot springs of Higo, specifically the Chikugogawa Valley, which symbolizes the boiling nature of love. It portrays the willingness to follow the loved one even to the depths of the earth or the top of a needle-like mountain.

The chorus repeats the phrase "Atsuka Atsuka" (Hot, hot), emphasizing the heat of both the emotions and the body. The lyrics suggest that if one wants to embrace a woman they are infatuated with, they are willing to risk getting burned.

The bridge expresses the longing for the loved one, saying that the singer can't sleep alone and asks the person to come and meet in the hidden moon. Finally, the last verse talks about dreaming of the loved one. It signifies that even in the dark river of fire, the singer sees the dreams of the person they love.

Overall, the lyrics convey the intense passion, commitment, and willingness to endure any obstacle for the sake of love.
