Song For France

Lyrics

Even genius people can't understand other languages

Life is not perfect for nobody

Even a talented person makes some mistakes

So why not I ??

Like every season has to turn and fade away 

Your happy days may meet a downfall

but Someday Somewhere Somebody will make you alive again ! 

You should not throw it all away easily ! 


There are many forces in this complicated world

Pushing people in different ways from different places

Whether you like or not somebody may try to use you

sometimes in a helpful way ....

Like a blazing sun becomes dark at twilight
your sky may be filled with dark clouds

but Someday Somewhere Something will make it arise again ! 
Your hope will stand from ashes ! 


Like stars in the sky have to die and revive again

your dreams may vanish to the void 

but Someday Somewhere Somebody will make you alive again !!!

May be the wind will turn soon !!

Someday Somewhere Somebody will make You Alive Again !

Lyrics

History cavorts before the Colosseum sunset
Some were forced to fight , some endeavoured  for their foray

2000 years , a long time ago , a trailblazer of entertainment 
Did top gradiators feel soothingness in the ray of the sinking sun ?

Let's caper with the burg by climbing up the Spanish Steps 
On the short and winding road  
Hop , Step , Rome !  Hop , Step , Rome !

At the Mouth of Truth 
Judged by putting your hand , if you are subterfuge or chicanery or genuine

At the Trevi Fountain
Let's throw coins for different wishes 
One for coming back ,  two for a romance , and three for wedding

Rome !  
Rome !

Song For Rome

In the future , a robot has been a good wife as an obedient partner without much emotions , because it was difficult that AI has feelings like human . But with a scientific progress , there has been a new chip for many emotions . He put it into her , but she started learning ambition , greed or vanity . Now he has become remorseful for having changed a chip . And there are many quarrels between them .

Lyrics

An advanced chip for a humanoid robot wife
that has turned his life so painful ...

He never knew ramifications 
She has learned much emotions
from a simple loyalty to ambition , greed or even vanity ...

With a scientific development , pros and cons came both
Unstoppable desire swelling like a balloon

Went down to the retro market
Bought a previous chip 
to get her back to an obedient partner ...

But inside he's being torn 
If he has a right to spoil already near human 
Calling voices again and again 
Insanity !
Make her back !
No right !
Want her back !
Immoral !

Standing on the street 
Clutching the chip to ... (use) or (throw away)

Hankering and Contrition

Song For Italy

Dedicated for people who have pride and love for their job 

Lyrics

He wakes up 5 in the morning
checks if the farm is all right
No vacation around the year

After gathering crops , he goes to the market
For selling fresh potatoes or pears 
Busy , busy and busy days ...

The sun eats his back !
Always having lumbago 
Natural disasters ruin the farm

but he's always telling us 

I would not trade my job for anything !
No , I would not stop this pleasurable work ！

It breaks my knees , squeezes my nerve
but new fruits are shining so cutely 
Yes , after all these years , I'm loving my job !!

She's an engineer of a milk factory
Maintains many generating systems
And also a manager for 100 workers
Hearing all those requests and grumbling
There's always a tension in her stomach ...

When the clarifier was broken
She couldn't sleep for repairing 
but with the bleary - eyed face , she said proudly 

I will keep doing this job somehow
No plan for changing my task

It's difficult but at the same time
lovely and interesting !
Maybe 10 years from now , I'll still love my job !!

I would not trade my job for anything !

Lyrics

Green leaves have turned to red
Passing away beautifully
Prisms swirl as magic saucers

Autumn park ! 
Poems dance with leaves
The palette in my heart cries with joy in colours !!

Autumn mountain !
competitions of vividness

They don't intend to be aesthetic 
But I can not help feeling 
they co-operate to draw a masterpiece !!

Autumn Park , Autumn Mountains

Lyrics 

So many theories , so many gods , so many advocations
Conspiracies , Machiavellianism , Double-dealing and subterfuge
Oh ! Full of treacheries for zippy profits
Too good to be true . It's rubbish !
A wily , slick , sales talk 

Many people coax me to do unreasonable things
I'm often flummoxed whom I can listen to
But at least there's one probity that is so trustworthy
Yeah !  Rock and Roll is always on my side !!

Look up the sky  . Wonder a while the meaning of the life !

There were gratifications , despondencies 
usually busy but sometimes free

Sincerity ,  Manipulations ,  Volunteers  ,  Swindlers 

Salvations  ,  Exploitations 

What can I do in the middle of the matters ?
What should I do in this complication ?
What can I make ? 
What can I leave in ,  in , in , in , in , in this chaotic world ?

Ramification , Quagmire , Backfire from propaganda 
Being chagrined a little bit in the cesspool of sordid throng
But I've got a little treasure giving me pleasures in many ways
Oh !  Like the Aladdin's magic lamp !

Dazzling ,  Vibrant  , Astounding  ,  Exuberant 
Stupendous  ,  Glinting  ,  Vivacious  ,  Enthralling

Ebullient  ,  Buoyant  ,  Diverting  ,  Captivating
Awesome  ,  Riveting  ,  Scintillating !!

An ineffable  treat  ,  Inimitable  and  Ethereal 
Music  is  the  most  valuable  invention  to  me  !

Rockin'  in  North  America  ,  rockin'  in  Europe
South  America  ,  Asia ,  Australia  and  Africa

It  goes  forever  !  It'll  go  forever  !!
Rock  and  Roll  is  always  on  my  side  !!!

Rock and Roll is Always on My Side !

Lyrics

Different histories and cultures
195 countries are sharing this planet
It's so fun to watch each distinctiveness
Arts , Cuisine , Fashion , Nature ...

But it's so sad to hear destruction
Some wars ruin precious beauties 

Ah there's a rainbow in the sky
Colours complement each other

And cities have unique characters
Individualistic speciality must be kept !

Modern architectures , Historic site
AI robots , Wild animals ...

But there're some
prejudices by lack of informations 
We can overcome that by telling true situations

There're disputes but when the rain is gone
a bridge of hope will appear !

We must know about propaganda
for selling weapons
Some conflicts are staged for money - making ...

Let diversity coexist , 
like colours of the rainbow stand together !!

As Colours Stand Together In The Rainbow

Lyrics

I was nothing at age of 10
No particular purpose in my life
But the days were changed by beautiful arts
Now I'm happy for making them

But I feel like walking by the blood sea
The sky is purple , the sand is black
Seems some demons skulk there

The more I'm happy
The more I'm scared
for losing felicity
Wings and chain on my legs 

Being a cyborg I never dreamt
But now I palpably envy ones who has immortality

Cause I verily want to live forever for making arts perpetually

I gotta get tears of Lucifer
I want to drink it up
hoping to get a permanency

I'll never can climb up to the celebrated heaven
but will hang around the Earth , regretting for unfinished works !



Tears of Lucifer
