Zero
B’z Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Giragira shita machi wo nuke
Sassato uchi ni kaerou
Omowanu kouji juutai de
Akai lamp wo nagamerya
Mata kangaesugi no mushi ga
Jiwarijiwari to waite kite
Boku wa boku jishin ni
Ichinichibun no iiwake wo hajimeru

Tachi no warui kuse da ne
Kono mama kuruma goto kimi no uchi ni tsukkomou ka
Nante koto made ukande kuru

Kyou wa imaichi omoiyari ni kakeru hi datta toka
Hito no ki mo shiranaide
"Omae wa kawatta" nante
"Kantan ni iu yatsu no usan kusai kao" da toka

Karappo no rezouko akete, iro iro omoidashiteru to
Tokai no kurashi wa, yake ni nodo ga kawaite shimau

* Ima aitai, sugu aitai
Sabaku no mannaka de
Nemuritai, mou nemuritai
Zenbu kouraseta mama

# Nagareyou, nagasareyou
Kono nami ni yurasare
Zero ga ii, Zero ni narou
Mou ikkai

Dou surya ii no hen ni narisou
Neon de sora ga kumotteru yoru wa
Nani wo dokomade shinjireba ii ka
Kimi ga boku ni oshiete yo

(Repeat *, #, *)
Nagareyou, nagasareyou




Kono nami ni yurasare
Zero ga ii, Zero ni

B'z ZERO 歌詞

ぎらぎらした街を抜け
さっさと家に帰ろう
思わぬ工事渋滞で
赤いランプを眺めりゃ
oh また考えすぎの虫が
じわりじわりと湧いてきて
僕は僕自身に1日分の言い訳を始める

タチの悪い癖だね
このまま車ごと
君の家に突っ込もうかなんて
ことまで浮かんでくるyeah

oh 今日はいまいち
思いやりにかける日だったとか
oh 
人の気も知らないでお前は変わったなんて
簡単に言う奴の胡散臭い
顔だとか
空っぽの冷蔵庫開けて
色々思い出してると
都会の暮らしはやけに喉が乾いてしまう

oh 今会いたい
すぐ会いたい
砂漠の真ん中で
眠りたいもう眠りたい
全部凍らせたまま
流れよう流されよう
この波に揺らされ
ZEROがいい
ZEROになろう
もう一回



@atushi7088

ぎらぎらした街をぬけ さっさと家に帰ろう
思わぬ工事渋滞で 赤いランプを眺めりゃ
また 考えすぎのムシがじわりじわりと湧いてきて
僕は僕自信に 一日分の言い訳をはじめる

たちの悪いくせだね
このまま車ごと君の家につっこもうか
なんてことまで浮かんでくる

今日はいまいち 思いやりに欠ける日だったとか
人の気も知らないで 「おまえは変わった」なんて
簡単にいうやつのうさん臭い顔だとか

空っぽの冷蔵庫開けて いろいろ思い出してると
都会の暮らしは やけに喉て乾いてしまう 

今あいたい すぐあいたい 砂漠の真ん中で
ねむりたい もうねむりたい 全部凍らせたまま
流れよう 流されよう この波に揺らされ
ゼロがいい ゼロになろう もう一回・・・・・

@shanxia7780

老後もB'zで過ごせるね!
たぶん同世代だけど

@user-yf8hj5ww5o

羨ましい。。
ライブは何回も行ったことあるけど、
私が産まれる前のB'zにも会いたかったなあ
と思った15さいです

@user-wk8wq6dd9e

むしろ今のクソババア世代が羨ましい

@yamadatakahiro8052

老いも若きも関係ないですよ。もう誰がいつ死んでもおかしくない時代です。こんな素晴らしいアーティストのライブに行ったり出来た世代だからラッキーですよ。生活費を稼げたら後は好きなことしたほうがいいです。
