| Mitsudouji street is located in the Shinsaibashi area, a shopping district in Osaka. Is famous for having abundant ginkou trees. Umeda station is a major station located in Osaka, and Mitsudouji Line transits there. "Suki ya" is part of the kansai dialect, which is considered more rough than Tokyo dialect. Its Tokyo counterpart should be "Suki da". Namba is a district in Osaka where the Namba Parks are located, which may be what the song referrs to. Osaka is divided into 2 wards: Kita (North) and Minami (South). Ebisubashi is a bridge that connects Namba and Shinsaibashi, and is very attended by couples. |
Today, people are fated to meet each other
In the far, far western city
If you're going to fall in love, then start at Midosuji
An elegant story
We were lost that day
We were stubborn, and hurt each other
I watched you run off, but you disappeared at Umeda Station
You said this town's speech is vulgar
But I won't change
I will say, "I love you"
I'll search for you, and hold you
Faster, faster, running after you
People come to Shinsaibashi for love
An elegant story
You loved the gardens of Naniwa
From where we frolicked together in the ferris wheel
We could see Kobe; I believed those days would continue forever
My heart longs for the remnants
Though I think it might be too late
"I still love ya"
Where shall I chase you to?
North, to Minami Ebisubashi
I want to start our love over again from Midosuji
An elegant story
You looked back at the crosswalk
Gazing at me
I can't forget your soft voice
Time has stopped
Today, people are fated to meet each other
In the far, far western city
If you're going to fall in love, then start at Midosuji
An elegant story
I'll search for you, and hold you
Soon, soon, running after you
People come to Shinsaibashi for love
An elegant story
