浪花ことぶき
大川栄策 Lyrics

The lyrics to 大川栄策's song 浪花ことぶき tell the story of a widower who is preparing for his daughter's wedding. The song is sung from the perspective of the singer as he reflects on the past and prepares for the future. The first stanza mentions the passing of the singer's wife and the fact that his daughter is getting married. He wants to share the joy of the occasion with someone and asks his partner to join him in celebrating, but ultimately decides to celebrate alone.

The second stanza talks about the groom and how he is a simple, honest man. The singer speaks of him with admiration and suggests that his partner meet him too, but again concludes that he will celebrate alone. The final stanza acknowledges the hard work the singer has put in to raising his child and running a successful business. He asks for recognition of his efforts and again celebrates alone.

The song focuses on the singer's journey towards self-sufficiency, as he learns to take pride in his accomplishments and celebrate alone instead of relying on others for validation. Although there is a sense of sadness and loneliness throughout the song, it ultimately ends on a note of triumph and self-satisfaction.
