Celebration
Shoukichi Kina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

長野の村に ブッダがいるってサ
奄美の島に ブッダがいるってサ
80年代何かが起こる
LOVE と LOVE が出逢うとき
ヒッピー姿の若者も
革命姿の若者も
光を求めてやって来る
命の故郷へ

東京の街に ゾルバがいるってサ
東京の街に ゾルバがいるってサ
80年代何かが起こる
LOVE と LOVE が出逢うとき
タケノコ族のおネエちゃん
ロックン・ローラーのお兄ちゃん
何か未来を感じてる
出逢うことを
光と陰 善と悪 裏と表 神と悪魔

Chorus
fallen angel ハレルヤ ハレルヤ





くり返し
