太陽がもしもなかったら
地球はたちまち凍りつく
花は枯れ鳥は空をすて
人はほほえみなくすだろう
太陽はオー生命(いのち)の星だ
幸せをオー守る炎だ
イーグル! シャーク! パンサー!
イーグル! シャーク! パンサー!

おれたちの魂も燃えている
Follow The Sun, (Sun)

太陽が燃えているかぎり
かならずまぶしい朝がくる
悲しみの夜がつづいても
君は負けずに朝を待て
太陽はオーみんなのものだ
誰にでもオー光をくれる
イーグル! シャーク! パンサー!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of 太陽戦隊サンバルカン or "Sunfight Squadron Sun Vulcan" by Akira Kushida and the Kagayake! Sunburst Band (こおろぎ'73) express the importance of the sun, which is vital for the continuation of life on earth. The first verse highlights the consequences that would occur if the sun were not to exist, such as the death of plants, animals losing their way, and humans losing their smile. The sun is therefore portrayed as the "star of life" and the protector of happiness. The chorus follows the three members of the Sun Vulcan team, as they invite the audience to follow and catch the sun with them, in order to keep their souls burning with passion. In the second verse, the lyrics encourage hope in difficult times, assuring the listener that a bright morning always comes after a sad night. The sun is described as something that belongs to everyone and shines for everyone, regardless of who they are or where they come from. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the message that everyone can continue to shine and live with passion as long as the sun is burning.
