ワッフルワンダフル
斉藤和義 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

笑ってる笑ってる朝も昼も夜も
甘いワッフルを頬ばって
僕等ずっと笑っている
二人きり二人きり
川に月が浮かぶ
レンブラントの歌うたいは
知らない言葉で歌う
ダーリンダーリン

このままここに居ようか
ダーリンダーリン
出会った頃のキスをしよう

回ってる回ってる
ここは夢の世界
ヴィンセントのひまわりも
うれしそうに踊っている
ダーリンダーリン
広場でお茶をのんだら
ダーリンダーリン
出会った頃のキスをしよう
ダーリンダーリン
このままずっとこのままで
ダーリンダーリン
明日はノミの市に行こう

出会った頃のキスをしよう
それから甘いワッフル食べよう

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of ワッフルワンダフル (Waffle Wonderful) by 斉藤和義 (Kazuyoshi Saito) describe a dreamlike world full of happiness and sweetness. The singer's voice is playful and light-hearted, as they describe how they and their lover are always smiling, eating sweet waffles together. The moon is reflected on the river as they sit under the night sky, oblivious to the rest of the world. They mention the famous painter Rembrandt, who sings in an unknown language while they dance together. In this world, everything is possible, and nothing is taken seriously.
