Bird
Bahashishi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ah あなたの知ってる
私は自由に空を飛ぶような
Ah 大きな翼持ってる
あの鳥のようにね 見えているのだろう

春風そっと イタズラに
鼻先をくすぐったんだ
本当の自由を知りたくて
分かりたくて

望遠鏡を覗いたら
あの鳥はうまく飛べていて
叶えたい この願いも
あんな風に飛べるかな?

ベランダ越しに見た景色と
この気持ちを重ねてゆくの
その瞬間 飛べる気がしたんだ

Ah 生きてく事は
難しくて せつなくて 苦しいけれど
Ah 喜びや幸せは
いつでも 隣り合わせにあるもの

強い風ビュッと イタズラに
私に押し寄せてきて
負けちゃいそうになる
そんな日が来てもね

スタート地点はいつだって
すぐ傍にあるものなんだと
何度でも 何度でも
くり返し言い聞かせて

「私らしくいられる事」
そんな想いのせて見つめた
自由に今 飛べる気がしたんだ

望遠鏡を覗いたら
あの鳥はうまく飛べていて
叶えたい この願いを 今

スタート地点はいつだって
すぐ傍にあるものなんだと
何度でも 何度でも
くり返し言い聞かせて

「私らしくいられる事」




そんな想いのせて見つめた
自由に今 飛べる気がしたんだ

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are from the song "Bird" by the Japanese band Bump of Chicken, translated into English by Bahashishi. The song talks about the desire for true freedom, like a bird that can fly wherever it wants. The lyrics convey the idea that living can be difficult and painful, but there is joy and happiness always close by. The use of the image of a bird flying freely in the sky symbolizes the human desire for freedom.


The first verse talks about the singer's desire to fly like a bird with big wings. They express their desire to know what true freedom means and what it feels like. The second verse talks about looking at a bird through a telescope and how they can fly so gracefully. The singer wishes to be able to fly like that too and wonders if their wish can come true.


The chorus expresses how difficult life can be but how happiness and joy can be found. The singer talks about how the start of anything they wish to achieve is always close by, and they repeat the phrase "Being myself" as a reminder that they want to pursue their dreams while staying true to themselves.


The bridge talks about a strong wind blowing and almost pushing the singer down, but they keep reminding themselves that the beginning is always near, and they keep looking through the telescope to see the bird flying.


Overall, the song dynamically conveys the message that although life can be difficult and painful, the desire for true freedom and the will to be oneself can always uplift the individual and make them soar high like a bird.
