Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
きのう見たんだ 夢じゃないのさ
ジェットにんぢん オレンヂの光
すごいスピード ジェットにんぢん
いつもの様に 街を歩いていたんだ
ねぼけまなこで あくびなんかしながら
空の彼方から 流れ星を見た!
その時なんだ!!
ジェットにんぢん 空とぶにんぢん
頭の上を すごい速さで
ジェットにんぢん まばゆい光
いいことあるよ ジェットにんぢん
きのうまた つまらないことでケンカして
今日ゴメンって 電話しようと思ってたまさに
その時なんだ!
その時なんだ! 窓の外を見た
真っ赤に染まる 夕日に映ったものは
ジェットにんぢん
ジェットにんぢん 空とぶにんぢん
きのう見たんだ 夢じゃないのさ
ジェットにんぢん オレンヂの光
すごいスピード ジェットにんぢん
ジェットにんぢん 空とぶにんぢん
きっと誰かの 聞きまちがい
ジェットにんぢん 昔はやった
歌手の名前は ジッタリン・ジン
The song ジェットにんぢん by GO!GO!7188 is a playful and whimsical tune that celebrates the joys of being young and carefree. The lyrics describe the experience of seeing a jet carrot flying through the sky - a wacky and unexpected sight that represents the sense of wonder and possibility that pervades the world when viewed through the eyes of a child. The singer of the song is walking through the city, half-asleep and unimpressed by the mundane sights around him, when suddenly he catches a glimpse of the jet carrot soaring overhead. The sight fills him with excitement and optimism, reminding him that there are still amazing things to be discovered in the world if one remains open and curious.
The lyrics of ジェットにんぢん are full of vivid imagery and playful language, creating a sense of childlike wonder and joy. The reference to the jet carrot is particularly entertaining, as it seems to be a nonsensical and impossible object that nonetheless captures the imagination of the singer. Additionally, the use of onomatopoeic words and playful expressions like "neboke manako" (half-asleep eyes) and "mabushii hikari" (dazzling light) adds to the overall sense of lighthearted fun that pervades the song. Overall, ジェットにんぢん is a delightful and uplifting tune that celebrates the power of imagination and curiosity.
