東京ブルース
西田佐知子 Lyrics

The song 東京ブルース (Tokyo Blues) by 西田佐知子 explores the pain and heartbreak experienced by a woman in Tokyo as she reflects on a past relationship that has ended. The lyrics raise questions about the unfairness of love and the role that men and women play in the cycle of deceit and heartache. The opening lines, "Is a woman who cries foolish, or is it the fault of a deceiving man?" suggest a sense of frustration and betrayal by a partner who has made false promises.

The song goes on to describe a woman who is crying and choking on her tears as she walks through the misty streets of Tokyo. She is haunted by memories of a love that has ended, and her feelings of regret and longing for what could have been are summed up in the lamentation, "The Tokyo Blues of a love that still lingers". The lyrics paint a picture of a city that is both beautiful and lonely, a place where dreams can be shattered and hearts broken.

The final lines of the song describe a woman wandering alone through the dark streets of Tokyo, blowing a melancholy tune on her whistle. The song ends with a sense of resignation and acceptance of the fact that love is never easy, and heartbreak is a part of life.
