Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

さよならは悲しいけど
もっとつづけたら傷が深くなる
水割りをのみほしたら
酔ったふりをしてお別れしましょう
あなたは気にしないで
私の明日からのことは
入口のドアがあくと
ちょっと風が吹く別れのスナック

別れてもあなたとなら
きっと素晴らしい友達になれる
気まずさがとれた頃に
逢ってなんとなくお話しましょう
今夜は名も知らない
誰かと恋をしたい気持
聞きなれた流行歌も

ちょっと淋しげな別れのスナック
別れのスナック別れのスナック

The song "別れのスナック" by 朝丘雪路 portrays the melancholic feeling of a breakup. The lyrics express how painful it is to say goodbye, but also how prolonging it can deepen the wounds. The singer suggests that they should pretend to be drunk and say their goodbyes, as if it would make it easier. The following lines reassure the other person that they don't have to worry about her future and that the door of the bar they're in welcomes the cold breeze of farewell.

The second paragraph highlights the possibility of maintaining a friendship with the person even after the breakup. The discomfort of being around one another will fade eventually, and they might meet up again to have a casual chat. The last lines reveal the singer's desire to fall in love with someone new tonight in that lonely, familiar bar where they're saying their goodbyes.
