シャックリ・ママさん
大滝詠一 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
水を飲んでも びっくりしても
どうにもシャックリ止まらない
シャックリママさんお洗濯
洗剤値上がり止めたいけれど
まずはこのシャックリ止めて
帚かかえて歌唄う
背中で鳴ってるトランジスター・ラジオ
シャックリママさん編みもの
手を止すませて呟いた
どうも浮世は儘ならぬ
シャックリママさん大欠伸
手で口押さえお茶にごし
肩がこったとひねる首
The lyrics to 大滝詠一's song シャックリ・ママさん describe a woman who has the hiccups (シャックリ) and cannot seem to get rid of them no matter what she does, whether it's drinking water, doing laundry or even singing while cleaning the backyard. The woman seems to be frustrated by this hiccup (シャックリ) and wishes for it to stop. As she is doing various daily chores, she expresses a feeling of unease about the world and how it is not always fair, as she murmurs to herself that "浮世は儘ならぬ" (the world is not always kind).
The lyrics of the song can be interpreted as a metaphor for life's hardship and how even small things like hiccups can cause major discomfort and frustration. The repetition of the word 'シャックリ' also serves to emphasize the feeling of being stuck or trapped in a difficult situation. Overall, the song may be seen as a reflection on the difficulties of daily life and the hope that one can get past them.
