Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
風はなんだか涼しげ
土曜日の夜はにぎやか
街角は いつでも 人いきれ
それでも陽気なこの街
いつでもおめかししてるよ
暗い気持さえ
すぐに晴れて
みんな うきうき
Down townへくりだそう
Down townへくりだそう
Down townへくりだそう
トゥルル トゥルル
シャボン玉のように消えてゆく
今宵限りの恋もまた楽し
夜はこれから
暗い気持さえ
すぐに晴れて
みんな うきうき うきうき
Down townへくりだそう
Down townへくりだそう
Down townへくりだそう
暗い気持さえ
すぐに晴れて
みんな うきうき うきうき
Down townへくりだそう
Down townへくりだそう
Down townへくりだそう
トゥルル トゥルル (ha ha yeah)
Down townへくりだそう
Down townへくりだそう
Down townへくりだそう
トゥルル トゥルル

The Japanese lyrics in Rakim & Ken's song "Down town" paint a vivid image of a bustling area, where people always seem to be up and about, even when the mood is low. The setting is a Saturday night, and the atmosphere is lively, with a refreshing cool wind blowing through the streets. The line "七色の黄昏降りて来て" (The seven-colored dusk descends) sets the tone for the whimsical nature of the song.
The mood seems to be uplifting, as people are ready to take on whatever adventure the night has in store for them. They always dress up to their best, even when going to the downtown area where things are happening. The imagery of bubbles disappearing into the air, like the fleeting nature of this one-night affair, further cements the idea of living in the moment.
Despite the potential for darkness to creep up on them, the people are resilient and quickly shake off any negative feelings they might have. The chorus repeats the uplifting phrase "Down townへ くりだそう" (Let's go downtown) over a catchy melody, further emphasizing the positive energy of the song.
Overall, "Down town" is a song about seizing the moment and enjoying life to the fullest. The lively rhythm, whimsical lyrics, and carefree nature of the song make it a great anthem for anyone looking to let their hair down and have a good time.
