哀しみのスパイ
小林麻美 Lyrics

The lyrics of this song are about a woman who has fallen in love with a man who is a spy. She is aware that he is leaving her and her country, and she is going to be left alone in a place without a home. The song is set in Moscow, where the grey rain and the approaching twilight make the feeling of despair much more intense. The woman is pleading with the man not to forget her, to hold her one last time, and to assure her that their love will continue even if they are separated.

The woman mentions Lamont Young, which references a famous Russian pianist, conductor, and composer Rachmaninoff, who is highly acclaimed for his musical interpretations. She asks the man-to-be leaving to remember his love for her and swear to fulfill the promise they made no matter wherever he might be. The woman is alone in a cold, empty room and searching for remnants of happier days, while the man is leaving her life forever. She feels a sense of betrayal and anger towards him, but also great sadness at the loss of their love. The lyrics refer to this spy as being "cold and guarded," but the woman still loves him deeply, regardless of his profession.
