河合奈保子 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
満ちては欠ける 夢をかさねて
逢いたいから逢わないあなたへ
いざよう月
悲しむ人ならひとりでいい
ためらう心を隠しきれず迷うなら
一度だけ接吻で傷をつけて下さい
もう誰も愛せないほど抱きしめて あゝ
涙を数え 月は移ろい
逢いたくても逢えないあなたへ
いざよう月
遠くでやさしく見える波が
切なさの際(きわ)で砕け白い華になる
指先で紅をひくやるせなさしずめても
渡れない夢の手前であなたを想う
恋に落ちた女(ひと)は月ですか
満ちては欠ける夢をかさねて
逢いたいから逢わないあなたへ
いざよう月
The lyrics of "Jurokuya monogatari" by Naoko Kawai paint a picture of a woman in love who is struggling with the pain of being separated from the one she loves. The song begins with the woman questioning if she is like the moon, which waxes and wanes in its fullness as she too struggles with her emotions. Despite her deep desire to be with her beloved, she acknowledges that it may not be possible and decides to take solace in her sorrow alone.
Throughout the song, there are several images of the moon which symbolize the woman's emotions. The moon, which changes its shape every night, represents her longing, sadness, and vulnerability. She pleads with her lover to kiss her just once, to leave a mark on her heart as a token of their love, even if they cannot be together forever.
The lyrics convey the intense feeling of longing that the woman is experiencing, but also the fear and hesitation that comes with it. She feels powerless to cross the barrier between them, and can only express her love through her tears and thoughts. In this way, the song captures the universal emotions of heartache and love that many people experience at some point in their lives.

遠くでやさしく見える波が
Waves that look kindly from afar
切なさの際(きわ)で砕け白い華になる
Breaking at the extremity of sorrow, becoming fragile white flowers
指先で紅をひくやるせなさしずめても
Even if I calm my unbearable pain by tracing red lines with my fingers
渡れない夢の手前であなたを想う
I think of you in front of a dream I can't cross

I discovered this song walking with my gf around in Hakodate a sunday very late. There was a small plaza nearby JR station with all the shops closed but with light and some speakers playing this song..... I just went into tears and downloaded Shazam to check the name. I listen to rock, punk, and metal mostly, but thank you Naoko for this beautiful song. I will always treasure that moment in Japan.

デビューからずっと可愛かったけれど、とてもお綺麗になられた頃…恋をしていたのでしょうか。悲しい恋でないことを祈るばかりです。

演歌歌謡曲ぽい いまなら坂本冬美 藤あや子あたりがカバーしてもいいかもね
