夜更けの舗道で
クルマ拾った
眠った家並
指がふるえた
Ah 5分でも逢えるのならば
私ならどこへでも行く
(Onegai) クルマは走る
(Isoide) 山手の町から

港の片隅へ
(Aitai) 無理を言われて
(Aenai) うれしかったのよ
本当よ気にしないで

無口なあなたが
電話くれたの
Ah 気紛れじゃないとわかるの
好きだとか何も言わない
(Onegai) 恋へと走る
(Isoide) あなたに合わせて
変わってゆけるなら
(Aitai) 鏡より今
(Aenai) あなたの視線だけを
信じてそばにいたい

私ならどこへでも行く
(Onegai) クルマは走る
(Isoide) 山手の町から
港の片隅へ
(Aitai) 寂しい夜は

(Aenai) いつでも私を
呼んでねそばにいたい

Overall Meaning

The song 寂しい夜には私を呼んで (Call Me on a Lonely Night) by 工藤静香 is a beautiful and emotional love song about the desperation of two lovers to be with each other, even if it means going to extreme lengths. The first verse talks about how the singer found a car on a deserted street and her fingers were trembling as she thought about going to meet her lover. A five-minute meeting is all that she wants, and she is ready to go anywhere to meet him. The second verse talks about how the singer received a call from her lover, who rarely speaks, and how much she longs to be close to him. She is willing to change herself and run towards love, as long as it means being with him. The chorus repeats the singer's willingness to go anywhere to meet her lover, especially on lonely nights.
