Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
真面目に好きなようにやんな
我れ行く旅の道中は予期せぬことばかり
歩みを止めたきゃ言いな
悩み多き時こそ笑いな
我が胸の奥の葛藤や身を切るような絶望も oh, yeah
吹く風に押され 身体預けて
それ行け! Going going
追い風 blowing blowing
それ行け! 男の子 (ベイビー)!
Wow ファイト!
涙の雨はもう止んだ
時間がわずかにまた動いた
鏡に映る臆病な瞳で未来を探せ
あてなき旅こそ浪漫
時折道に迷うのは冗談
誰かが路地裏で大きな咳をした oh, yeah
神様願わくば 私を責めないで
まだ世の中を悟る気になれない
それ行け! Going going
飛び出せ! Rolling rolling
それ行け! 女の子 (ベイビー)!
Wow スマイル!
適当に手を抜いて行こうな
ボチボチ好きなようにやんな
終わりなき旅の道中は予期せぬことばかり oh, yeah
命をありがとネ
いろいろあるけどネ
それなのに明日も知らぬそぶりで
それ行け! Going going
追い風 blowing blowing
それ行け! ボク!
Wow ファイト!
The lyrics of 桑田佳祐's song "それ行けベイビー!!" convey a message of embracing life's journey and facing challenges with a carefree and lighthearted attitude. The opening lines encourage taking a relaxed approach and not taking things too seriously. The song emphasizes that unexpected things happen along the way in our journey, and it's important to keep moving forward.
The lyrics also touch upon the idea of not letting setbacks or inner conflicts hold us back. Instead, we should find joy even in difficult times and not let despair overcome us. It encourages embracing the weight of life's burdens and allowing the wind to guide us, symbolizing surrendering to the flow of life.
The chorus expresses the idea of pushing forward, with the wind at our back, and encouraging both boys and girls (referred to as ベイビー or Baby) to fight and keep going. It suggests that tears have stopped falling, time has started moving again, and that by looking into our own eyes in the mirror, we can search for a brave and bright future. The lyrics also touch on the concept of a journey without a clear destination, where occasionally getting lost along the way is a part of the adventure.
Overall, the song carries a message of embracing life, finding joy in unexpected moments, and facing challenges with a positive and carefree attitude.
