サンジャンの恋人
石井好子 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
わたしの一番だいじなものを
口のうまい彼はいつも嘘をついていた、
それはわかっていたわ、けど彼を愛してた
どうして正気を失わずにいられるでしょう
大胆な腕に抱きしめられたら
だって 誰でもきっと信じてしまうわ
甘い愛の言葉を
わたしはね、彼をとっても愛していて、
サン＝ジャンで一番の美男子だと思ってた、
わたしは酔いしれていた
心ならずも
彼の口づけに
ああ、サン＝ジャンでも
よそでも
誓いなんてまやかしに過ぎない
わたしったら しあわせを信じ
彼の心を引き止めておきたいと願うおばかさんだった。
どうして正気を失わずにいられるでしょう、
大胆な腕に抱きしめられたら
だって 誰でもきっと信じてしまうわ
甘い愛の言葉を
あんな目をして言われたら
わたしは彼をとっても愛してた、
わたしのすてきな人、サン＝ジャンのわたしの恋人
彼はもうわたしを愛していないわ
それは過ぎたこと
話すのはもうよしましょう。
In the song サンジャンの恋人, the singer is reminiscing about a past love in the French city of Saint-Jean (サン＝ジャン). She gave up her most important possession without much thought to the man who had always been good at lying to her with his sweet tongue. Although she knew he was lying, she loved him, and being held in his bold arms would make anyone believe his sweet words of love. She was so deeply in love with him that she believed he was the most handsome man in Saint-Jean.
But now the singer understands that love promises are nothing but illusion - both in Saint-Jean and elsewhere. She thought she was silly for hoping to hold onto his love and trying to keep his heart. She wonders how anyone can keep their sanity when held in his bold and passionate embrace. Despite all the hurt and deception, she still remembers him as her lovely person, her lover from Saint-Jean.
Overall, the song explores the theme of love, deception, and loss with an emphasis on nostalgia for the past. With its catchy melody and moving lyrics, サンジャンの恋人 is a perfect example of a classic Japanese love song.
