BAN BAN BAN
桑田佳祐 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ban, ban, ban, one day wearin' so many wears, so many chapeaux and so many ties
Ban, ban, ban, one day wearin' so many wears, so many chapeaux and so many ties

君は緑の風に乗る 吐息まじりの good times
別れるために出逢う二人に 夏は訪れる

Oh 夢の間に間に flower あの頃は帰らない
You don't understand me well 悲しみの my heart
I can cry, I don't know why

Ban, ban, ban, one day wearin' so many wears, so many chapeaux and so many ties
Ban, ban, ban, one day wearin' so many wears, so many chapeaux and so many ties

あの日が胸に よみがえる 恋にならない first sight
瞳の中で 虹のかけらを 君は抱いていた

Oh 熱い涙の shower 俺だけの せいなのに
I will understand you well 思い出の lovers
You can try, let me take you fly

Ban, ban, ban, one day wearin' so many wears, so many chapeaux and so many ties

別れ話のその後は 惨めな night time, hum
二度と逢えないひとなのに 名前を呼ぶ声 I love you, oh

(Oh, play rock! The guitar man, you are the number one, my lonely heart's club band)

君は誰かと波に乗る やがて涙の goodbye
見上げる空に 君のほほえみ 星がにじんでた

Ban, ban, ban, one day wearin' so many wears, so many chapeaux and so many ties
Ban, ban, ban, one day wearin' so many wears, so many chapeaux and so many ties





Ban, ban, ban, one day wearin' so many wears, so many chapeaux and so many ties
Ban, ban, ban, one day wearin' so many wears, so many chapeaux and so many ties

Overall Meaning

The song BAN BAN BAN by 桑田佳祐 is a nostalgic-sounding track that explores the simplicity and complexity of human emotions. The recurring phrase "Ban, ban, ban, one day wearin' so many wears, so many chapeaux and so many ties" seems to describe a day in which the singer wears a lot of different clothes and accessories, which might represent the facade that people often put on in different situations. Through the verses, the singer reflects on different aspects of life, from summer romances to heartbreak and longing for loved ones.


The chorus features the line "あの日が胸によみがえる" (Ano hi ga mune ni yomigaeru), which can be translated to "That day comes back to my heart," which might refer to a special moment in the past that the singer cannot forget. The phrase "別れ話のその後は惨めな night time" (Wakarehanashi no sonogo wa mijime na night time) means "after a conversation about separation, it's a miserable night time," which shows that the song deals with melancholic themes. However, there is also a sense of hope as the singer says "You can try, let me take you fly" and "見上げる空に君のほほえみ星がにじんでた" (Miageru sora ni kimi no hohoemi hoshi ga nijindeta), which means "As I looked up at the sky, your smile made the stars blurred."

BAN BAN BAN
One day wearin'so many wears,
So many chapeaux,
And so many ties.

君は緑の風に乗る
吐息まじりの Good-Times
別れるために出逢う二人に
夏は訪れる

Oh…夢の間に間に Flower
あの頃は帰らない
You don't understand me well.
悲しみの My heart
I can cry,I don't know why.

BAN BAN BAN
One day wearin'so many wears,
So many chapeaux,
And so many ties.

あの日が胸によみがえる
恋にならない First-Sight
瞳の中で虹のかけらを
君は 抱いていた

Oh…熱い涙の Shower
俺だけのせいなのに
I will understand you well.
思い出の Lovers
You can try, Let me take you fly.

BAN BAN BAN
One day wearin'so many wears,
So many chapeaux,
And so many ties.

別れ話のその後は
惨めな Night-Time. hum…
二度と逢えない女性(ひと)なのに
名前を呼ぶ声 I love you, oh…

Play rock!! The guitar man.
You are the number one.
My lonely hearts club band.

君は誰かと波に乗る
やがて涙の Good-Bye
見上げる空に君のほほえみ
星が滲んでた

BAN BAN BAN
One day wearin'so many wears,
So many chapeaux,
And so many ties.
