Lyrics
油だらけの海 灰だらけの大地
砂だらけの農耕地帯 砂だらけの商業都市
錆びた車が限界集落を走る。
疲れ切った同胞が眠っている。
腹ごなしに果物を半切れ齧る。
昼なのに暗く、まるで棺の中だ。
何もかも無くなったが、ここにはまだ人がいる。
人がいれば意思がある。
意思があれば
Renaissance
Romaji lyrics
Aburadarake no umi haidarake no daichi
Sunadarake no noukou chitai sunadarake no shougyou toshi
Sabita kuruma ga genkai shuuraku o hashiru
Sukarekitta douhou ga nemutte iru
Haragonashi ni kudamono o han kire kajiru.
Hirunanoni kuraku, marude kan no nakada
Nanimokamo nakunatta ga, koko ni wa mada hito ga iru
Hito ga ireba ishi ga aru
Ishi ga areba
Renaissance
English Translated lyrics
An ocean polluted with oil, A land polluted with ash
Agricultural fields filled with sand, Commercial cities filled with sand
A rusted car driving through a marginal village.
My exhausted companions are resting.
I nibble on half a piece of fruit to stave off my hunger.
Noon gets dark, as if we were in a coffin.
Everything is gone, but there are still people here.
If there are people, If there is intention.
If there is intention
Renaissance
