FLY～愛の続きはボンジュール!～
斉藤和義 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

お前と何処かへ行きたいな
例えばパリでもどうですか
アンドゥトワの
その続きは知らないけど
飲もうよボジョレヌーボ
この頃気分が晴れないよ
二人の会話も減ってるし
記憶なんてなくなるまで

飲み明かしたいなあの日みたいに
だから FLY FLY

出会って恋して愛になり
時々続きがこわくなる
でもボンジュール心配しないで
たぶんそれくらいで
Qui 丁度いいのさ
行こう FLY FLY
あれが有名なシャンゼリゼ
思ったほど大したことないね
それよりここのエッフェル塔
こんなにあふれそうだよ

だから FLY FLY
もっと高く FLY FLY

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are from the song "FLY ~Ai no Tsudzuki wa Bonjour!~" by Kazuyoshi Saito. The song is about wanting to go somewhere with someone and experiencing the continuation of love.

The singer suggests going to the Andou Tower and not knowing what lies ahead, but still wanting to enjoy the moment by drinking Beaujolais Nouveau.

The first paragraph speaks of wanting to go somewhere with the person the singer is addressing, suggesting Paris as a possible destination. The singer mentions not knowing what lies ahead at the Andou Tower, but proposes enjoying the moment by indulging in Beaujolais Nouveau, a type of wine. The lyrics then express the singer's current state of mind, feeling down and experiencing a decrease in conversation between the two.

However, they reassure the listener not to worry about it, as saying "Bonjour" (hello) is just enough. The line "Qui choudo ii no sa" translates to "It's just right" or "That's perfect". The lyrics encourage the listener to keep going, using the repeated phrase "FLY FLY".

The third paragraph refers to famous locations in Paris, such as the Champs-Élysées (called "Shanzelize" in Japanese) and the Eiffel Tower. The singer notes that the Champs-Élysées is not as impressive as they had imagined, but finds the overflowing presence of the Eiffel Tower much more captivating. The lyrics again encourage the listener to "FLY FLY" and go higher.
