北の港駅
田川寿美 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

好きだから離れても必ず帰るよと
ふるえる私を抱きしめた
何もかも捨てゝ
貴方の後から追いかけて
行けばよかった最終列車
涙まじりの雪が舞う

恋しくて今日も又貴方の夢を見て

あふれる涙で夜が明ける
傍にいるようで
貴方のぬくもり探してる
肌を刺すように吹雪が鳴いて
凍りつきます北国の冬

馬鹿ですか馬鹿ですね
貴方を待っている
しんしん降る雪北の駅
忘れられないの
貴方と過ごした愛の日を

固い契りで結ばれたのに
二度と逢う日はないのでしょうか

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to 田川寿美's song Namida No Minato depict the pain of separation and longing for a loved one. The first verse talks about how even though the singer loves their partner and promises to come back to them, they are forced to leave, and they embrace the trembling speaker. The singer regrets not having chased after their partner when they left on the last train as tears mix with snow. In the second verse, the singer dreams of their partner again, and with overflowing tears, they yearn for their warmth. They search for their partner's warmth, but instead, they feel the biting cold of the winter winds in the northern lands.

The chorus questions the singer's foolishness for waiting for their partner, as they continue to wait for them in the snow-covered northern station. The singer reminisces about the days filled with love that they spent with their partner. Despite their unwavering bond, they wonder if they will ever see their partner again.

Overall, the song paints a vivid picture of the struggles of long-distance relationships and the deep emotional pain caused by separation.
