じゃじゃ馬娘
大貫妙子 Lyrics

The lyrics to 大貫妙子's song "じゃじゃ馬娘" speak to a young girl who dislikes traditional, feminine pastimes and instead prefers to run and play in the dirt. She embraces the moniker "じゃじゃ馬娘", which translates to "refractory young girl", as a term of endearment rather than an insult. The girl revels in teasing and provoking those around her, but also does so as a form of affection. She chooses not to reveal her true self to others, particularly an older boy who she finds attractive but worries will laugh at her if he finds out she likes to be called "じゃじゃ馬娘". The song is a celebration of self-expression and acceptance, as the singer finds solace and enjoyments in being outside traditional gender norms and refusing to change for the sake of others.

The song's lyrics reflect themes of self-discovery, nonconformity, and gender stereotypes common in Japanese pop culture. The term "じゃじゃ馬娘" is a common trope in Japanese media, often used to describe rebellious or tomboyish girls. It is also a source of pride for many women who embrace the label and use it to assert their independence.
