GARNiDELiA Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

月明かり昇る刻
灯る赤提灯
祭囃子の合図
ふわり蝶が誘い出す
(ちょいと覗いて見てごらん)
迷い込めば抜け出せない
(楽しいことがしたいなら)
おいでませ極楽浄土

歌えや歌え心のままに
アナタの声をさぁ聞かせて
踊れや踊れ時を忘れ
今宵共にあぁ狂い咲き

美しく咲く花も
いつか散りゆくもの
それならこの一夜を
もっと熱く愛したい
(ちょいと「いいこと」いたしましょう)
これは夢か幻か
(嘘も真も無い世界)
ゆきましょう極楽浄土
歌えや歌え心のままに
乱れる髪息も気にせず
踊れや踊れ時を忘れ
今宵共にあぁ狂い咲き

(ちょいと「いいこと」いたしましょう)

(嘘も真も無い世界)

ゆきましょう極楽浄土
歌えや歌え心のままに
アナタの声をさぁ聞かせて
踊れや踊れ時を忘れ

今宵共にあぁ狂い咲き
今宵アナタと狂い咲き
