オレンジ通り5番街
河合奈保子 Lyrics

These lyrics are from 河合奈保子's song オレンジ通り5番街 (Orange Street, Fifth Avenue). The song begins with the singer describing how she turned around and looked back at a passing face. She wonders if it was someone she was supposed to meet. The person she saw was in a hurry and headed towards a place of memories. The singer then reflects on how being in this place reminds her of the time she spent with the person she is thinking of, and how the clock in the area always seems to mark the time of their meetings.

The second half of the song sees the singer walking alone down the same street she had walked with the person she is thinking of. She hears the bustling city noise, and remembers how she used to hear the person's slightly husky voice. Even though they are no longer together, her memory of that time is still vivid and present.

The lyrics paint a picture of a bittersweet memory, where the singer is longing for someone who is no longer with her. The passing face triggers a nostalgic feeling of remembering time spent with that person, and being in that place brings back emotions and fond memories. The song portrays the idea that even though a relationship may have ended, the memories remain and have the power to evoke strong emotions.
