夢多かりし年ごろ別れたじいちゃん どこにおると
見境なく serchin' for him
今にも泣きそうな sexy ばあちゃん
あきらめず 耐えきれず (oh sexy ばあちゃん oh sexy ばあちゃん)
あまり無理をするほどには
いかずとも じいちゃんに逢いたい
Oh! No! ふたりともに夢から醒めた時には 90 years old
(寄る年波) 別れたままこのまま
死にきれず ばあちゃんは only one without funky じいちゃん
心の夫よ c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon in
恋して燃えて so long, so long, so long, so long
She's gonna move (she's gonna move), she's gonna move (she's gonna move)
別れた人を今さら忘らりょか
She's gonna die (she's gonna die), she's gonna die (she's gonna die)
これじゃばあちゃんもつらい oh! Yeah!
タバコ・ロードで逢った sexy ばあちゃん
夢多かりし年ごろ別れたじいちゃん どこにおると
見境なく serchin' for him
No! No! そばに居てたころから彼と行きたやタバコ・ロード
(それだけなの) 夜になれば寒かろ
このままじゃじいちゃんは nowhere man without sexy ばあちゃん
心の夫よ c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon in
恋して燃えて so long, so long, so long, so long
心の夫よ c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon in
恋して燃えて so long, so long, so long, so long
She's gonna move (she's gonna move), she's gonna move (she's gonna move)
別れた人を今さら忘らりょか
She's gonna move (she's gonna move), she's gonna move (she's gonna move)
別れた人を今さら忘らりょか
She's gonna die (she's gonna die), she's gonna die (she's gonna die)
これじゃばあちゃんもつらい
じいちゃんもいないで情けないもんね タバコロードで
The lyrics of "Tobacco Road" by The British Invasion All-Stars tell the story of a woman, referred to as the "sexy grandma" or "baachan," who is searching for her long-lost love, the "grandpa" or "jiichan." The song describes the emotional journey and hardships she experiences as she desperately seeks to be reunited with him.
The lyrics emphasize the strong feelings of longing and desperation felt by the baachan. She is depicted as someone who is still deeply in love and cannot give up on the idea of being with her jiichan. Despite the difficulties and the immense pain she endures, she is determined to find him and refuses to let go of hope.
The song also touches on the passing of time and the toll it takes on the baachan. The lyrics mention that both she and her jiichan have aged and are now 90 years old. It implies that they have been separated for a long time, possibly for the majority of their lives. This separation and the inability to be with her jiichan have left the baachan feeling incomplete and lonely.
Furthermore, the lyrics highlight the strong bond between the baachan and her jiichan. They mention that without each other, they feel incomplete and lost. The baachan is described as the only one without her funky jiichan, emphasizing how important he is to her. This indicates that their connection and love for each other are fundamental to their identities.
Overall, "Tobacco Road" explores themes of love, longing, and the enduring power of true connections. It portrays the baachan's relentless search for her love, the pain of separation, and the profound impact it has on her life. The lyrics evoke a sense of sympathy for the baachan's plight and convey the emotional depth of her longing for her jiichan.
