Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

女ひとりじゃ無理かしら
せめてあなたを忘れたい
歩いて見たいわ那珂川ぞいを

つらい想いを流せるならば
あゝあゝオーオーオー
博多ブルース

女ひとりに夜がくる
どうせあなたはいないのに
誰が名づけた中州の町と
泣かない女になれるでしょうか
あゝあゝオーオーオー
博多ブルース

女ひとりはもろいから
きっとあなたを夢で見る
ふたりぼっちの西公園が
最後の夜になるなんて

あゝあゝオーオーオー
博多ブルース

The song 博多ブルース by 西田佐知子 is a poignant expression of the emotions of a woman who has been left alone by her lover. She is struggling to cope with the reality of being alone, and is trying to find a way to forget her pain. She thinks that if she can walk along the Naka River, she might be able to let go of her sorrow.

The lyrics also describe the woman's feelings about the city of 中州. She wonders who named the town, and if she can become a strong woman who can live there without crying. However, she knows that being alone can make a woman fragile, and she will probably end up dreaming about her former lover.

The chorus repeats the title phrase "博多ブルース" several times, which means "Hakata Blues". It is a symbolic term that represents the sadness and loneliness that the woman is feeling. Overall, the song is a touching portrayal of the heartbreak and difficulties that come with being a woman who is left alone.
