Woman “Wの悲劇”より
薬師丸ひろ子 Lyrics

The lyrics of the song "Woman" by Yashimaru Hiroko depict a beautiful and tragic love story between two people. The first verse urges the lover not to leave and to remain by the singer's side. The singer is content to be near the lover and watches snow-like stars fall near the window. The second verse implicates the end of their love affair, as the lover refuses to love the singer anymore. The singer is willing to settle for friendship if that's all the lover can offer. However, the singer is unable to hide her trembling voice or the emotions that overwhelm her.

The song's chorus talks about a ship crossing a river, with no oars to guide it. The ship and the river represent time and the inevitability of change. The two lovers are intertwined in each other's lives, and like fragments of stars, the lover falls into the singer's hair and chest. The third and final verse of the song shows the depth of the singer's love. She is willing to burn herself up in a moment just to be with the lover. The singer acknowledges that she is being selfish by asking the lover to stay, but seeks comfort in their presence, at least until the morning arrives.
