Lyrics

Japanese

脳からヒップへ真っ赤に飛び散る
ファンクなウイルスみたいなオマエ
暴走ボディーでキュートな誘惑
世界にはびこる憂鬱を壊せ

世紀末だって 過ぎれば昨日さ
恋も出来ないで 死ねるわけないだろう

容姿は幼稚で陽気な様でも
酔うと異様に妖艶なヤツ
ロリータ・ウィンクでキャンディーねだって
娼婦の唇でしゃぶってみろよ

世紀末だって 過ぎれば昨日さ
愛に憑いた 悲しみも消える
低気圧だって 青空の破片
キッスばら撒いて 未来へ行こう

Don’t let me down My sweet baby BAMBINA
抱きしめたあの夜は 秘密さ
ヌードになったら天使の羽根が
バレるぜBAMBINA

Romaji

nou kara HIP e makka ni tobichiru
FUNK na VIRUS mitai na omae
bousou BODY de CUTE yuuwaku
sekai ni habikoru yuutsu wo kowase

seikimatsu datte sugireba kinou sa
koi mo dekinai de shineru wake nai darou

youshi wa youchi de youki na you demo
you to iyou ni youen na yatsu
LOLITA WINK de CANDY ne datte
shoufu no rippu de shabuttemiro yo

seikimatsu datte sugireba kinou sa
ai ni toritsuita kanashimi mo kieru
teikiatsu datte aozora no kakera
KISS baramaite mirai e yukou

Don't let me down My sweet baby BAMBINA
dakishimeta ano yoru wa himitsu sa
NUDE ni nattara angel no hane ga
bareruze BAMBINA

English

Scattered by scarlet from brain to hip
You’re like a funky virus
A reckless body with cute temptation
Destroying the melancholy rampant throughout the world

The end of a century once past, is just yesterday
There’s no reason to die before falling in love

A childish appearance, sunny personality
But strangely fascinating when drunk
Candy with a lolita wink
Suck with a harlot’s lips

The end of a century once past, is just yesterday
Possessed by love, even sorrow disappears
A foul temper is just a splinter of blue sky
Disseminating kisses, let’s go to the future

Don’t let me down My sweet baby BAMBINA
That night we embraced is a secret
If you go nude, your angel’s wings
Will be exposed, BAMBINA
