プラハの女
島谷ひとみ Lyrics

The lyrics of 島谷ひとみ -Hitomi Shimatani's song プラハの女 -Prague no Onna- is a poignant piece describing the bittersweet feeling of separation between two lovers in Prague, one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The song describes the historical city, its golden age, and how it still shines even in the midst of goodbye. The lyrics depict a couple who are about to part ways but promise to meet again someday, transcending time and fate.

The chorus repeats the phrase "goodbye" as if it were a foregone conclusion from the moment they met. The singer had known that she had to say goodbye to the person she deeply cared for, just as much as she had known her love for him. She whispers to her lover, expressing her feelings that she holds dearly in her heart, while watching his back recede further into the distance. From the moment they met, the two had perhaps known that their time together would be limited and that separation was inevitable. The singer wishes that she had chased after him, leaving everything behind and confesses that she almost did, but instead, she waves goodbye.

The song paints a picture of a timeless love story that transcends historical boundaries, just like Prague, the city of love, which has witnessed many such stories. The singer promises to meet her lover again, hopeful that, just as Prague has endured and shone through the hardships of time, their love, too, will stand the test of time and space.
