Hiroshima
Sandra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fly little bird to Hiroshima
In the way a load
Speak the magic word to Hiroshima
Let the sky explode
Hiroshima, Hiroshima

There's a shadow of a man at Hiroshima
Where he passed the moon
In the wonderland at Hiroshima
Where he died too soon
And the world remembers his face
Remembers the place was here

Fly little bird to Hiroshima
In the way a load
Speak a magic word to Hiroshima
Let the sky explode
And the world remembers his name
Remembers the flame was Hiroshima
Hiroshima, Hiroshima

There's a shadow of a man at Hiroshima
Where he passed the moon
In a wonderland at Hiroshima
Where he died to soon
And the world remembers his name
Remembers the place was here
Hiroshima

And the world remembers his name




Remembers the flame was
Hiroshima, Hiroshima, Hiroshima...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sandra's song Hiroshima speak of remembrance and reflection on the events that took place during World War II. The song begins with the line "Fly little bird to Hiroshima," which refers to the idea of sending a message of peace and love to a place that was once the site of a devastating atomic bomb explosion. The following line, "In the way a load," can be interpreted as a request to bear the weight of the past and the knowledge of the horrors that have taken place.


The second verse speaks of a "shadow of a man" who passed the moon at Hiroshima, referencing the victims of the bombing whose shadows were forever etched onto the ground. The line "Where he died too soon" can be seen as a commentary on the senseless loss of life that occurred during the bombing. The following verse then speaks of the world remembering this man's face and the place where the bombing occurred.


Overall, the song urges the listener to never forget the tragedy of Hiroshima, but to also look towards a brighter future of peace and love. The lines "Speak a magic word to Hiroshima, Let the sky explode" can be interpreted as a call for transformation and change.
