彼女
斉藤和義 Lyrics

These lyrics tell the story of a person reflecting on their past relationship and expressing their regret for not realizing the significance of their partner's tears. The song begins with the singer lying on the rooftop, having a conversation with the moon. They mention that it will soon be clearly visible, whispering in the twilight. This sets a melancholic and reflective mood.

The singer then asks the listener if they can ask them something important: "Do you still love her now?" They are seeking the listener's perspective on their emotions and whether they too believe that the singer still loves their ex-partner. This indicates that the singer is unsure of their own feelings and seeks validation from others.

The lyrics then highlight that the singer had been living their daily life filled with sighs, without realizing that their partner was shedding tears. The singer regrets not being as kind and comforting as the listener, wondering if their partner would still be by their side if they had been. This implies a sense of longing and the desire to turn back time to make things right.

In the next verse, it is mentioned that it has gotten a little colder, and the singer offers to fetch their jacket. They also mention having recently purchased wine. These details create a sense of intimacy and nostalgia, as if the singer is trying to recreate moments from their past relationship.

But then, the lyrics take a somber turn as the singer admits that they cannot hear the goodbye from that day. There seems to be a sense of denial or inability to accept the end of the relationship. This implies that the singer is still holding onto hope or has yet to fully let go of their feelings.

The chorus is repeated, emphasizing the singer's realization of their own blindness to their partner's tears and their regret for not being as kind and understanding as the listener. They wonder if their partner would still be in their heart if they had been more like the listener.

In the final verse, the singer remarks that they have talked a bit too much, noticing that the listener's cheeks are slightly flushed. This suggests that their conversation has stirred up emotions and memories for both of them, perhaps reliving the past in that secluded corner of the rooftop.

The song concludes with the acknowledgement that dawn is approaching and the listener will soon disappear. The singer expresses a wish that they could have a pleasant conversation about happier things tonight. This closing line implies a bittersweet acceptance of the situation and a hope for closure or healing.
