福寿草
小林幸子 Lyrics

The song 福寿草 by 小林幸子 is a touching and emotional song about the bond between a mother and daughter. In the first verse, the lyrics speak about the importance of a man with flowers, meaning that a man who is kind and gentle is necessary for a woman to be happy. The mother scolds her daughter for crying over a boy who may not be good for her, and despite the scolding, the daughter apologizes and trembles with sadness. The color of the mother's heart is likened to the color of the 福寿草, which symbolizes the mother's love and deep concern for her daughter.

In the second verse, the mother tries to guide her daughter to trust her instincts and believe in what she sees, but it is too late. Her daughter is already swayed by her lover's affection, and even speaking of death does not deter her affection. The mother's tears are likened to the color of the 福寿草, which symbolizes the mother's sadness for her daughter's happiness. In the final verse, the mother reluctantly bids farewell to her daughter, telling her that if it's tough, to come back home. She waves goodbye with tears in her eyes, apologizing for not understanding her daughter's youthful love. The color of the mother's sigh is compared to the color of the 福寿草, symbolizing the mother's deep and everlasting love for her daughter.
