BINBO BLIZZARD

words by Kyouko Fukuyama
music by Yoshiki Fukuyama
translation by Eleanor and Alinda Sue...

(note: "binbo" is an often derogatory term referring someone or something being poor. We tossed around several possibilities, such as "cheapo" - doesn't fit this situation - or "poor fool" - closer, but not quite - before we decided to just leave it as the name: "Binbo". )

甘い根性でしくじって振り向けば
死神博士お出迎え
まるで順調に見えたって落とし穴
どうすりゃいい BINBO

あんな純情な奴だって騙されて
底なし沼から出られない
真暗闇の終点は人間不信
どんづまり BINBO

BINBO やめたきゃ立ち止まるんだ
無情に騒がしい蜩しぐれ
BINBO
 やめたきゃ立ち止まるんだ
本当 簡単さ

はいどうも
BINBO
 BLIZZARD 吹き荒れて
BINBO
 BLIZZARD 悲しくて
BINBO
 BLIZZARD やるせない
パレードで遭難 どうすりゃいいBINBO

BINBO
 BLIZZARD 吹き荒れて
BINBO
 BLIZZARD 可笑しくて
BINBO
 BLIZZARD かなわない
土壇場でK.O. どうすりゃいい BINBO

そんな状況でヤになって気が付けば
砂漠の中心で丸裸
やっと真剣に生きるって目覚めても
水がない BINBO

BINBO
 やめたきゃ走り出すんだ
無謀に美しい挑戦者
BINBO
 やめたきゃ走り出すんだ
本当 単純さ

はいどうも
BINBO
 BLIZZARD 吹き荒れて
BINBO
 BLIZZARD 悲しくて
BINBO
 BLIZZARD やるせない
パレードで遭難 どうすりゃいいBINBO

BINBO
 BLIZZARD 吹き荒れて
BINBO
 BLIZZARD 可笑しくて
BINBO
 BLIZZARD かなわない
土壇場でK.O. どうすりゃいい BINBO

21世紀始まって間もないのに
落ち込んでなんかいられない
文句ばかり言ったって始まらない
ぶっとばせ BINBO

BINBO
 やめたきゃ走り出すんだ
無謀に美しい挑戦者
BINBO
 やめたきゃ走り出すんだ
本当 単純さ

はいどうも
BINBO
 BLIZZARD 吹き荒れて
BINBO
 BLIZZARD 悲しくて
BINBO
 BLIZZARD やるせない
パレードで遭難 どうすりゃいいBINBO

BINBO
 BLIZZARD 吹き荒れて
BINBO
 BLIZZARD 可笑しくて
BINBO
 BLIZZARD かなわない
土壇場でK.O. どうすりゃいい BINBO

BINBO

If you act naïve and repeat failure
Welcoming Dr. Death
As you step right into traps you saw coming
What can you do, Binbo?

Deceiving even the purest of heart
You cannot escape from a bottomless pond
Human distrust is the way to a deep dark end
Dead end, Binbo!

BINBO   If you stop, you’re stuck standing
Making an passionless clamor like a clear-toned cicada
BINBO   If you stop, you’re stuck standing
Really, it’s simple

Well, hello there
BINBO BLIZZARD   blowing around wild
BINBO BLIZZARD   so very sad
BINBO BLIZZARD   nothing doing
A parade of disaster; what can you do, BINBO?

BINBO BLIZZARD   blowing around wild
BINBO BLIZZARD   Oh, how ridiculous
BINBO BLIZZARD   there’s no comparison
Last minute knockout; what can you do, BINBO?

Even if you come to realize you don’t like these circumstances
Standing in the middle of the desert, stark naked
and you finally come to life and wake up
There’s no water, BINBO

BINBO   If you stop, you break into a run
A recklessly beautiful challenger
BINBO   If you stop, you break into a run
Really, you’re so simple

Well, hello there
BINBO BLIZZARD   blowing around wild
BINBO BLIZZARD   so very sad
BINBO BLIZZARD   nothing doing
A parade of disaster; what can you do, BINBO?

BINBO BLIZZARD   blowing around wild
BINBO BLIZZARD   Oh, how ridiculous
BINBO BLIZZARD   there’s no comparison
Last minute knockout; what can you do, BINBO?

Even though it’s the beginning of the 21st Century,
You have no worries, you have nothing to feel down about
If you are always complaining, you cannot move forward
Snap out of it, BINBO

BINBO   If you stop, you’re stuck standing
Making an passionless clamor like a clear-toned cicada
BINBO   If you stop, you’re stuck standing
Really, it’s simple

Well, hello there
BINBO BLIZZARD   blowing around wild
BINBO BLIZZARD   so very sad
BINBO BLIZZARD   nothing doing
A parade of disaster; what can you do, BINBO?

BINBO BLIZZARD   blowing around wild
BINBO BLIZZARD   Oh, how ridiculous
BINBO BLIZZARD   there’s no comparison
Last minute knockout; what can you do, BINBO?

BINBO
