上海帰りのリル
山内惠介 Lyrics

The lyrics to 山内惠介's song 上海帰りのリル tell the story of a man searching for a woman named Lil who has returned from Shanghai. The singer has heard rumors of Lil in various places, such as the Hamma cabaret, and feels nostalgic for their sweet and painful memories. He is searching for Lil and wondering if anyone knows her whereabouts. He later remembers how he saw Lil crying in her black dress and how they parted ways without saying a word to each other in the misty Four Crossroads in Shanghai. The final verse expresses the man's desire to live with Lil as they did before, even though they have both faced their dark destiny.

The lyrics symbolize a longing for the past and one's lost love. The singer is searching for Lil, hoping to find her and recapture their past. However, Lil represents the past, a time and place that cannot be replicated. The singer realizes that he may never be able to find Lil again, and they may not be able to recreate their past together. The lyrics evoke a sense of nostalgia and the desire to return to simpler, happier times.
