ブリキのラッパ
Lä-ppisch Lyrics

These lyrics tell a story of a grandmother and her family experiencing a power outage in their town. Opening the curtains to see the darkness outside, they realize that it's been a while since they've had a blackout. With the intention to create a celebratory atmosphere, they light candles on the table, resembling a birthday party. They decide to make the most of the situation and admire the pitch-black city before the candles melt away. Additionally, they fetch some ice to cool down the wine they had purchased for this occasion.

The lyrics then mention a television that is constantly working but now stands idle due to the power outage. The singer's younger sister starts complaining and crying because she wants to read manga. However, the family suggests that instead of crying, she should sing a song they learned at school. Encouraging each other with the phrase "YA YA YA," they propose playing the tin trumpet together. Even the grandmother joins in, swaying her body and making the sound "Chuuru Chuuru" in the dim room while the candles flicker.

The festive party continues in the quiet city, with the tin trumpet and the sister's singing echoing non-stop. There are still around ten songs left to be performed, and the darker the room, the better. The wine is also ready to be enjoyed, having chilled to the perfect temperature. In the lyrics, it is implied that the singer wants to lend their tin trumpet to someone else. However, the grandmother, still on the playful mood, pretends to play while making the sound "Chuuru Chuuru."

As the darkness lingers, the party atmosphere intensifies, until finally, the electricity is restored, surprising everyone. The grandmother reacts playfully, becoming bashful and making the sound "Chuuru Chuuru." In the bright room, the candles go out. The tin trumpet and the sister also bid their farewell with a lullaby-like phrase "Ba Pa Pa Ra Ba Pa Pa." The night ends as they all bid each other and the tin trumpet a good-night.
