Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

イヤよすぐ来てすぐ逢って
会社なんかはほっといて
あのねモシモシ赤電話
おかげであの人
サットサット
しかけて帆かけてとんで来る
アラわるいわネ
十円ぽっちでごめんなさい

ノサイサイ

娘ごころのありったけ
好きなの好きだわ愛してる
あとはたのむわこの手紙
郵便切手を
ソットソット
しかけて帆かけてはりつける
アラわるいわネ
十円ぽっちでごめんなさい
ノサイサイ

イカスおかたとバスの中
目と目があうたび胸が鳴る
夢を見るよなこのチャンス
乗り越ししますわ
チョイトチョイト
しかけて帆かけて車掌さん
アラわるいわネ

十円ぽっちでごめんなさい
ノサイサイ

Overall Meaning

The song, "十円ぽっちでごめんなさい" by 都はるみ, tells the story of a young woman who is eagerly waiting for her lover to arrive. She tells her boss that she needs to leave work in order to meet him and then waits by the phone for him to call. When he does call, she rushes out to meet him, despite the fact that she only has ten yen in her pocket. She apologizes for having so little money to contribute towards their date, but he reassures her that it doesn't matter. She then takes a bus with him, and they share a romantic moment as they look into each other's eyes.

The lyrics describe the excitement and anxiety that come with falling in love, as well as the feeling of not wanting to miss out on any opportunities to be with the person you care about. The use of the phrase "十円ぽっちでごめんなさい" (sorry for only having ten yen) represents the idea that love is more important than material possessions and that true love can overcome any obstacle.
