初恋椿とマドロスさん
都はるみ Lyrics

In 都はるみ's song 初恋椿とマドロスさん, the lyrics describe the emotional turmoil of a couple on the edge of a breakup. The song begins with a melancholic setting of a misty harbor where a ship's horn signals the start of a journey. The female character is crying, knowing that the man she loves, Madros, is leaving her after just one night. She pleads for him to make her forget him by crying even more. Madros comforts her, encouraging her to smile and leave with a happy memory, telling her that even though it's painful, they should break up with a smile on their faces just as someone had advised him before. He then reminisces about his love for her, and how he finds her charming and endearing.

The second verse describes how the sea is always welcoming to seagulls, but not to those who leave behind their heartbroken lovers. The couple is at a point of no return as their relationship tapes have been cut apart. Madros concedes that the ocean, the source of his livelihood and happiness, is meaningless without his lover. The bridge of the song comes with a gentle plea for the female character not to let tears of heartbreak become her weakness, as the night fog in the harbor gradually settles in. The song ends with both characters separately contemplating the pain of lost love.
