ORIGINAL LOVE Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

砂塵を舞い上げて
ゆっくりと子供達が踊り始める
錆付いた夕闇が
光の最後の放列を飲みこむ
黒く塗りつぶされた
この街外れに
ワルプルギスの夜がやってきた
黒く塗りつぶされた

夜の空高く
光を纏ったマタドールが浮かぶ
夜更けまで
ブルース・ミュージック
とめどなく流れてる
"I got to be free
I got to be free"
路上で誰かそう歌う
週末が近づいた
短い街の夜を鮮やかに生きる

ディスプレイの中僕等の全てが
次から次へと飾り立てられてく
戯れ合うコヨーテの群
暗闇を探しうろつき歩いてる
からだの中で何かが変わる
からだの隅々で古い何かが死ぬ
からだの中で何かが変わる
次の準備はもう出来ているのか？
愛を込めたシギリーヤで
夜明けまで踊り明かす
"I got to be free
I got to be free"
路上で誰かそう歌う
週末が近づいた
短い街の夜を鮮やかに生きる
黒すぎるこの夜の中に
身を潜ませブロンコ
俺はブロンコ週末のブロンコ

愛を込めたシギリーヤで
夜明けまで踊り明かす
"I got to be free
I got to be free"
路上で誰かそう歌う
週末が近づいた短い街の夜を
I want to take you higher,

tonight!
どこまでも輝いて鮮やかに生きる

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to ブロンコ by ORIGINAL LOVE describe a scene where children begin to dance slowly, while the rusted darkness of the evening swallows the last light. The night is painted black, and outside the city, it has become Walpurgis Night, where a matador clad in light floats high in the night sky. The blues music flows endlessly until late at night, and someone sings that they need to be free on the road. As the weekend draws nearer, the short night in the city is lived brightly.

The display presents everything about the group one after another. The group of coyotes that play and wander around in the darkness is decorated inside. Something changes in the body; something old dies in every corner of the body. In a place called Sigiriya filled with love, they dance until dawn. In the blackness of this night, they hide themselves as a Bronco, and the lyrics end with a desire to go higher and live brilliantly.

Overall, the song talks about the need to be free and the desire to live brilliantly, despite the darkness that might surround someone. It also speaks of changes in the body, as something old dies, bringing in the new.
