Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

水溜りに足を突っ込んで

Stepping into a puddle

貴方は大きなあくびをする

You let out a big yawn

酷い嵐を呼んで欲しいんだ

I want you to summon a terrible storm

この空も吹き飛ばすほどの

One that could blow away this sky

風を待っていたんだ

I've been waiting for the wind

何もない生活はきっと退屈過ぎるから

A life with nothing is surely too boring

風を待っていたんだ

I've been waiting for the wind

風を待っていたんだ

I've been waiting for the wind

...

...

吹けば青嵐

When it blows, a blue storm

言葉も飛ばしてしまえ

Let the words fly away too

誰も何も言えぬほど

So that no one can say anything

僕らを飲み込んでゆけ

Swallow us whole

どっどど どどうど

Do-do-do, do-do-do

どっどど どどうど

Do-do-do, do-do-do

どっどど どどうど

Do-do-do, do-do-do

...

...

風を呼ぶって本当なんだね

It's true that the wind calls

目を丸くした僕がそう聞いたから

I heard it from my wide-eyed self

ぶっきらぼうにあなたは言った

You said bluntly

「何もかも思いのままだぜ」

“Everything is just as you wish”

風を待っていたんだ

I've been waiting for the wind

型に合った社会は ずいぶん窮屈過ぎるから

A society that fits the mold is quite too constricting

「それじゃもっと酷い雨を！

“Then bring on a worse rain!

この気分も飛ばす風を」

A wind that can blow away this feeling”

...

...

吹けば青嵐

When it blows, a blue storm

何もかも捨ててしまえ

Throw everything away

今に僕らこのままじゃ

If we stay like this

誰かも忘れてしまう

Someone will forget us

青い胡桃も吹き飛ばせ

Blow away the blue walnuts

酸っぱいかりんも吹き飛ばせ

Blow away the sour quince

もっと大きく 酷く大きく

Bigger, much bigger

この街を壊す風を

A wind that can destroy this town

吹けよ青嵐

Blow, blue storm

何もかも捨ててしまえ

Throw everything away

悲しみも夢も全て

All the sadness, all the dreams

飛ばしてゆけ 又三郎

Blow them away, Mata Saburo

行けば永い道

If you go, it's a long road

言葉があなたの風だ

Words are your wind

誰も何も言えぬほど

So that no one can say anything

僕らを呑み込んでゆけ

Swallow us whole

どっどど どどうど

Do-do-do, do-do-do

どっどど どどうど

Do-do-do, do-do-do

どっどど どどうど

Do-do-do, do-do-do

...
