Natsu ni Koi Suru Onna Tachi
大貫妙子 Lyrics

The lyrics to "夏に恋する女たち" (Women in Love in the Summer) by 大貫妙子 (Taeko Onuki) is a poetic encapsulation of a romantic summer night. The song opens by describing the dreamlike quality of a summer night in the eyes of lovers. The intense gaze of the person she loves sets off the beginning of a passionate summer for the singer. The stanza creates an almost surreal mood by indicating that anyone can lose themselves in summer's intoxication.

The second stanza signifies the unbridled joy that love brings as the two lovers run through the night like children. However, their playfulness is tinged with sadness because their short-lived romance is intense and fleeting. A stark contrast presents itself in the lyrics as the city shines around them but their longing takes them away from the world rather than towards it. The third stanza pulls back the curtains on a shared moment in the lovers’ lives, that occurred on a terrace, which the singer reminisces with a melancholic smile. The final stanza indicates that the lovers have found something in each other that makes them brave enough to step away from their indecisiveness and uncertainty and embrace a future with a hope for love.

Overall, the lyrics of "夏に恋する女たち" perfectly captures the fleeting intensity, beauty, and fragility of a summer romance, while evoking the surreal dreamlike quality that love can bring to life.
