Rajie(ラジ) / Espresso(エスプレッソ) (1985) Lyrics by: Rui Serizawa (芹沢類) Composed by: Yuji Karaki (唐木裕史) Lyrics (Japanese): 息を 殺して ただ 足を組みかえて 手にした 活字も 消えてしまう午後 人の気配が よぎる度ごと 背中まで耳になる あなただけ 待ち続けて ああ いつでも ここにいるの カフェテラス・エスプレッソ 危うげな 二人の距離を ああ 惑わせ 埋めるように 香り立つ エスプレッソ ひとつ ふたつと また あいてゆく席 二度とはここでは つかめない愛 欲しいものでも 子供のように 泣いたりは しないだけ もう どこでも 待つのは同じ ああ あなたを 残したまま 席を立つ エスプレッソ テーブルの 花さえ枯れて ああ 一度も 手をふれずに 冷めてゆく エスプレッソ Note: Lyrics were taken from Espresso LP booklet. This song represents a woman waiting for her boyfriend at a cafe, who never showed up. So, this is a song about heartbreak. Note 2: You can buy her best album "GOLDEN☆BEST ラジ ALL TIME SELECTION," which includes this great song, and was released in the last year. I have this album too, and it's available at Amazon Japan.

Rough translation in English: I hold my breath and just recross my legs It feels like words on the magazine in my hand are fading away Every time I feel someone coming, even my back turns into ears I'm waiting for only you Ah, I always stay here Cafe Terrace, "Espresso" Ah, the aroma of the espresso fogs and closes the fragile (precarious) distance between us Tables are becoming vacant one after another I will never be able to get this love here I just don't cry like a child when I beg for what I want I just have to wait no matter where I am Ah, I'm leaving espresso, before you coming Even the flower on the table withers Ah, espresso is gradually getting cold without ever having touched Note: I tried my best with dictionary in my hand, but this might be inaccurate since I'm not a translator and the lyrics are full of metaphors :)

[@TumidOfficial]

This song gave me chills down my spine. I feel her pain... Amazing chord structure... why do I keep getting so emotional over Japanese 80's songs?

[@ConstantinKlose-sj4mb]

They just have that special something, don't they? Maybe it's the dreamy melodies.

[@TumidOfficial]

@@ConstantinKlose-sj4mb Definitely.. It has that special something that just works. You never question it, but it gives you some kind of feeling. The feeling of foreign air in your face, where the choice is yours and the possibilities are endless in a green field with everything in front of you. It's nostalgia but it's not, and it shakes you to your core. You feel it in your mind and especially in your heart. Only a few artists have managed to give me that feeling. Rajie is one of them. I love her so much.

[@ganjaman59650]

"her pain" can you expand on that? Cause there is not even a clue that say that, you cannot even say what the song is about, it's about her robbing a guy and letting him left for dead...You just spit random words

[@Rincee]

@@ganjaman59650The song is literally about her love and being at a cafe, how about you get your lyrics checked before accusing somebody of such thoughts.

[@asianvibes8553]

02:00 What’s the man saying in the beginning and after the chorus?

[@xred_velvet4116]

I’m pretty sure it’s French because i recognize some words. At the beginning he says « wait for me darling, I’ll be back » Then I can distinguish some words at 1:50 : « Poète, artiste » « et toi qui adorais […] la symétrie voici […] du monde devant tes yeux » (not sure about this sentence tho) Which would translate as « poet, artist » and « you, that loved […] symetry here is […] of the world before your eyes » I think overall the meaning of the french part in the middle is connected to art, literature, etc… it would make sense with the vibe of this album

[@asianvibes8553]

@@xred_velvet4116 thanks a lot!!! would you mind writing what you've heard in this music in french in the beginning! I've only recognized "attends ma cherie "

[@xred_velvet4116]

@@asianvibes8553 You’re welcome !! And you’re not very far from the actual sentence : « attends-moi chérie je reviens » I’m sorry for not being able to fully understand the part in the middle, even though I’m french the accent of the man is quite strong and the effect applied to his voice makes it even harder !

I've been looking all over for this. Where'd you get it? Can you even buy any of her albums anywhere?

[@hanaathefoodie4200]

Honestly, I downloaded this online from a blog called Jpop80ss, they have all sorts of city pop albums there that you can download for free, but you can buy the album from Japan, but it's super expensive and hard to come by.
