夢ん中
小林旭 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

指のつめたさうなじの細さ
肩のはかなさまつ毛の長さ

すべて重たい悲しみつれて
ひとりお前は生きている

男もつらいし
女もつらい

男と女は
なおつらい

だけど泣くなよ泣くじゃない
酸いも甘いも夢ん中

酒はにがいし煙草はからい
紅はとけるし寝床は寒い

そんなお前の肩抱き寄せて
惚れたようだと俺はいう

男もつらいし
女もつらい
男と女は
なおつらい

それでいいのさいいんだよ
逢うも別れも夢ん中

男もつらいし
女もつらい
男と女は
なおつらい

それでいいのさいいんだよ
逢うも別れも夢ん中

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "夢ん中" by 小林旭 reflect the hardships of life and love. The opening lyrics describe the physical features of someone - the coldness of their fingers, the delicacy of their neck, the lightness of their shoulders, and the length of their eyelashes. The subsequent lyrics describe how this person carries a heavy sadness within them and how they live alone, despite being among others. The song then describes the difficulties of life for both men and women, and how it can be tough to deal with relationships. However, the song continues to encourage not to cry, to think about the good and the bad times blended together, and accept that everything is a dream.

This song is powerful in its depiction of the harshness of life and love. It conveys the message that although life is tough, it is important to hold on and focus on the positive aspects instead of dwelling on the negative. The melody and lyrics of the song work together to create a melancholic, yet hopeful mood.
