野良犬
ARB Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
暗いビルの谷間で
あの娘に愛が届けと
月に遠吠えてる
狭い箱に入れられ
鎖につながれて
俺らと同じ月を見て
涙流すのか
そしたら今すぐ連れ出す
吠えろお前も悲しいほどに
野郎犬もそんなに悪くない
いつも話し相手は
壁にうつる影さ
いつかは鎖ちぎりすて
奪って逃げてやる
吠えろお前も牙を向けてやれ
そして今すぐ駆け出せ
吠えろお前も淋しいほどに
いつでも俺らの胸にこい
吠えろお前も喉が裂けるほど
そしたら今すぐ連れ出す
吠えろお前も悲しいほどに
野郎犬もそんなに悪くない
The lyrics to ARB's song 野良犬 (Norainu) tell a story of a stray dog looking for love and companionship in the darkness of the city, howling to the moon to try and reach a girl he loves. The dog is trapped in a small box and chained up, yet he still looks up at the same moon as his human counterparts and wonders if he will ever shed tears from his lonely situation. The song speaks of the dog's desperation to be free, to break free from the chains that bind him and to run wild with his pack.
However, the song also speaks to the dog's resilience; he refuses to let his situation break him and instead chooses to howl louder and harder in the hopes of fighting his way out of his entrapment. The song suggests that the dog is not a bad animal, just one that wants to seek love and companionship, which he finds in his barking and howling with his fellow strays. The lyrics are a compassionate reminder that even our wild, four-legged friends are deserving of love and empathy from humans.
Overall, the lyrics to 野良犬 speak to the universal desire for love, companionship, and freedom, no matter who or what we are.

吠えろお前も淋しいほどに
Howl until you feel lonely
いつでも俺らの胸にこい
And we'll always be here to comfort you
