京の石段
渚ゆう子 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

京の石段 女が一人
日傘くるくる 回して下りる
初恋のあの人は 今は何処にいる
逢いたくて 逢いたくて
おみくじ引いて 願かけました
強い女になりますと

京の石段 女が一人
涙ほろほろ 流して下りる
諦めはいけないと 胸に言い聞かせ
好きだから 好きだから
せつないほどに 苦しみました
泣かぬ女になりたいの

京の石段 女が一人
恋をしみじみ 感じて下りる
この命一度だけ 賭けてみたいから




追いかけて 追いかけていきたい心 打ち明けました
生きた女になるために

The song "京の石段" by 渚ゆう子 talks about a girl walking down the stairs of Kyoto alone. While she is descending, she is circling her parasol and thinking about her first love. She is curious about where that person is now and wants to meet them again. She draws a fortune from the shrine and wishes to become a strong woman. However, she is still unable to forget her first love and cries while walking down the stairs. She tells herself that it is wrong to give up and that she loves that person a lot. She wants to become a woman who does not cry anymore. In the final verse, she says that she wants to bet on life and pursue her heart's desire. She wants to become a woman who lives her life to the fullest.
