The lyrics to HKT48's song ウインクは3回 talk about a girl who has decided that she will only wink three times when she wants to convey her feelings of love to her crush. She believes that it is better than words because it is easier to understand without any language barriers. She whispers to him that she loves him from the depths of her eyes and that she hopes he can recognize the meaning behind her blink of an eye. Being surrounded by so many rivals, including female fans in school and other girls from different schools, she waits for a chance to capture the heart of her crush.
The girl believes that three winks are just enough to convey her message effectively without being too obvious to everyone around her. She also thinks that her left eye is better suited to pull off the wink, and she hopes that it will leave a lasting impression on her crush. The lyrics also mention a fan meeting outside the school gate, where the girl waits for her chance to get her crush's attention. The song encourages taking risks and seizing any opportunity that presents itself.
Overall, the song is a lighthearted and playful take on confessing your feelings to someone you like. It emphasizes the importance of subtlety and patience while also encouraging bravery and taking chances.
