Gigolo
Meiko Nakahara Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

夜になると みんな集まる
いつもの店で 束の間のバカ騒ぎ
アナタいつだって 私に冷たくないわ
だけど とても lonely lonely
誰にでも 優しいヒト

今日はコンチで決めて
ネクタイ ラフな着こなし
くわえ煙草で はしゃいでるけど
アナタ 誰を見てるの

I want your love for only me
アナタに愛されたい
I want your love for only me
アナタ ひとりじめしたいの

ガラスの街に消える横顔 Sexy
おやすみの Kiss 思わせぶりな挨拶代わり
アナタのことを思うと うつろになるわ
だって とても lonely lonely
また違う 彼女

今日もチャンスをのがし
何も言えやしないの
胸をこんなに こがれてるのに
夜明け シラけてひとり

I want your love for only me
アナタに愛されたい
I want your love for only me
アナタ ひとりじめしたいの

私だけのジゴロ 夢にみてるわ

I want your love for only me
アナタに愛されたい




I want your love for only me
アナタ ひとりじめしたいの

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Meiko Nakahara's song "Gigolo" describe a woman's longing for the attention and love of a man who seems to be a player, always surrounded by women, but who the woman cannot help but desire. The woman knows that the man is not truly interested in her, but she still wants to have him to herself. The woman portrays herself as lonely, even when surrounded by friends, and at times feels replaced by other women.


The song is about the yearning for someone who is unattainable, and who may not truly care for the woman. The woman knows that he is unattainable, yet still hopes she can have him. The lyrics speak to the universal experience of unrequited love, where the person one desires is not interested in them, yet they still hope for reciprocation. The song is a portrayal of the loneliness and longing that come with unrequited love, and the desire to be wanted and loved by someone who is out of reach.

Gigolo English translated lyrics :)


When the night falls, everyone gathers
Always in the same place, having a little bit of fun
You've never been cold to me
But it feels so lonely, lonely
You're a person who's kind to everyone

I'm going to wear a conch today
I'll wear a tie and a rough outfit
You look excited while holding a cigarette in your mouth
Who are you looking at?

I want your love for only me
I want to be loved by you
I want your love for only me
I want to have you all to myself

A sexy profile that disappears in a city of glass
A good night kiss instead of a thoughtful greeting
When I think of you, I become depressed
Because I'm so lonely, lonely
You're with another different girl

I missed my chance again today
I can't say a word
Even though I'm longing for you so much in my heart
At dawn I'm alone in a daze

I want your love for only me
I want to be loved by you
I want your love for only me
I want to have you all to myself

I'm dreaming of my very own gigolo

I want your love for only me
I want to be loved by you
I want your love for only me
I want to have you all to myself

80s J-Pop is the exact kind of music I never knew I needed until YouTube began recommending it to me

@I_Have_The_Most_Japanese_Music

I'm only finding a few City Pop songs I like, but I want to take a stab at later JPOP. I'm wondering if JFUNK is the best avenue of approach.

@dcuniversehypertime7490

Hit up that tomoko aran, tatsuro shamashita, and maria takeuchi

@user-ft9ul5ul5v

sometimes, late Soviet and early Russian pop-music very much resembles city-pop. But, the disbandement of large financial corporations in late 90s and concentration of all entertainment in state hands killed the variety.

@TheLabecki

I am always amazed by how much I love 80s J-Pop, especially City Pop.

@melocitysolo9574

Meiko Nakahara is one of the pinnacles of city pop. She is a genius. She produced all the songs by herself.
Not many people know yet, but her 5 albums from the beginning are a must listen. It's one of the masterpieces of city pop. You should definitely get it.

@Hyakurin_

I totally agree. I'm discovering right now some of those that i didn't know and i just bought the LPs of Chaki chaki club and Mint (her best album according imho together with Coconuts House and Actress in the mirror)

@qingyangzhang6093

And she didn't go to university...

@iantuition

The five following albums are must listening too, imo.

BRUH WHY IS YOUTUBE BLOCKING GOOD MUSIC
