港夜景
細川たかし Lyrics

The lyrics to 細川たかし's song 港夜景 convey a sense of sadness and longing for someone who is dear to the singer. The lyrics express his regret at having left this person alone, despite their loneliness and desire for company. He wants to live a carefree life but does not want to hurt the person any further and wants to make it up to them. The singer is reflecting on their past struggles and feels unhappy with how things have turned out. The lyrics suggest that the person he left behind wanted to start a business in a small town but also longed to be a mother, even though she didn't like drinking.

The second verse of the song speaks to the dreams and aspirations of the person he left behind. She wanted to open a shop in a small town but also wanted to be a mother. The lyrics create a sense of wistfulness and a yearning for something more than what they currently have. The setting of the song is by the harbour at night, and the sad memories of their hardships come to the surface. In the final verse, the singer urges the person he left behind to find true happiness, even though they have suffered greatly. He wrote her a letter encouraging her to start anew and find her own happiness. Although he turned his back on her, his lingering feelings of concern and hope are evident in the lyrics.
