Lyrics & Translation
Rain exposes sadness, cloudy with flowers
In this withered town, nothing sticks
Nose dripping regretfully, giggling foolishly
This petty mudfight that can’t be laughed at
A vivid crimson hair ornament, a formidable rival in love
I want to touch your velvet brow
With a faintly cold smile
You, flitting, flitting, flamingo
Vivid, wobbly, flamingo, dancing as you please
Laughing shaky, I won’t go home anymore
Leaving only loneliness and jealousy behind
Thanks for today, next time I’ll cherish more
Thank you for your visit
Soaring recklessly, slipping on smooth surfaces
Empty threats, murmuring words
Confused and reckless, showing foolishness
I just want to hear your lovely voice
Spilled spare change, a daytime crow begging
On this trivial stage, only one thing shines
Even just you is enough
That’s the flapping, flapping, flamingo
Terrifyingly blushing, flapping, flapping flamingo
Floating softly, saying goodbye
Come on, that’s not right, let’s talk properly
Damn you, don’t swallow the spit you spat
Getting soaked in icy rain, with a runny nose
Today, I hold a cat toy in my right hand
At this rate, I can’t be fooled anymore
Wandering in the void of eternity
Submitting to hell’s Enma,
Please, don’t forget that girl
A drunken puppet’s story
Keep going, a monkey show until death
You, flitting, flitting, flamingo
Vivid, wobbly, flamingo, dancing as you please
Laughing shakily, I won’t go home anymore
Leaving only jealousy behind
Thanks for today, next time I’ll cherish more
In the twilight, I clap my claws, cloudy with flowers
In this withered town, nothing sticks, giggling foolishly
