人生は甘いの Sweet as sugar

チョコレートマカロンエクレアマドレーヌ
人生は甘いの Sweet as sugar
世界を濁らす 雨じゃ色褪せない
カラフルな私の Sweet as sugar
コーヒーのような苦い思い出だって
味を引き立てるのに必要なの

The lyrics to Charan-Po-Rantan's song "Sweet as sugar" are discussing the sweetness of life, which is portrayed as being as sugary as chocolate, macarons, éclairs, and madeleines. The song’s opening lines bring the fact that life is sweet to your attention immediately. The chorus repeats the line “Sweet as sugar” several times, emphasizing just how sweet the singer feels their life is. The second verse talks about how even bitter memories can enhance the flavor of life, just like how coffee complements sugary treats. The last line of the verse, “悲しいさみしいアルバムからとびきりのレシピを作ってよ” or “Take the best recipes from a sad and lonely album,” could be interpreted as finding the bright side of every situation and using those experiences to create something new and positive, serving as a metaphor for life.
Overall, the lyrics convey a message about finding sweetness in life no matter what, as well as the importance of embracing life’s different flavors and experiences. It encourages the listener to take the bitter with the sweet and create something beautiful out of it, much like how pastries combine different flavors and textures to create a delightful treat.
