上からマリコ
AKB48 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
次の行動が 僕にも読めない
人混みの中 急に振り向いて
君は (僕に) キスをせがんだ
上からマリコ サディスティックな奴め!
愛の踏み絵みたい 無茶ぶり
君は本気なのか? Joke なのか?
歳の差はスリル まるで観覧車
心 揺らされて ドキッとするんだ
躊躇ってたら 僕を煽るように
君が (そっと) 言った 「意気地なし!」
おねだりマリコ わがままな奴め!
愛を試すような 仕打ち
何で今なの? 何でこの場所で?
君は本気なのか? Baby か?
シャイなくせして いたずらっぽく 唇 尖らせる
上からマリコ サディスティックな奴め!
愛の踏み絵みたい 無茶ぶり
何でいきなり? 何で目を閉じる?
君は本気なのか? Joke なのか?
年上の (年上の) 君なのに (君なのに)
誰よりも (誰よりも) 可愛く思える
年上の (年上の) 君なのに (君なのに)
いつだって (いつだって) 僕にはティーンエージャー
The lyrics to AKB48's song "Uekara Mariko" (From Above, Mariko) depict the complexities of a relationship with an older, free-spirited partner. The singer expresses their confusion and inability to predict their partner's next moves. In a crowded place, suddenly, the partner turns and demands a kiss from the singer. The lyrics then repeat the phrase "Uekara Mariko," which could be interpreted as the partner looking down on the singer in a sadistic manner. The partner's behavior is described as a test of love, with unreasonable demands and unpredictable actions. The singer questions the sincerity of their partner's feelings, wondering if it's all just a joke.
Despite the age difference, the thrill of the relationship is compared to a Ferris wheel, causing the heart to skip a beat. The partner's playful and mischievous nature is highlighted, with their lips pursed in a teasing manner. The singer is captivated by their older partner and finds them incredibly cute, even more so than anyone else. The lyrics conclude with the ongoing contradiction of their partner being older, yet always appearing as a teenager to the singer.
