Lyrics

French

Dans un monde parfait l'humanité
Existe comme un arc en ciel
Avec des couleurs multiples
Noir, blanc, jaune et rouge

Larmes, larmes
Si on continue à vivre comme ça
Faire comme ça
On a besoin d'unifier tout le monde
Pour ensemble vivre dans le monde
L'amour et la liberté c'est tout ce qu'il
Faut pour l'humanité

Sans discrimination raciale
Chaque couleur à l'unison
Brillante et claire
Donnant au monde
Paix et liberté

English

In a perfect world humanity
Exists like a rainbow
With multiple colours
Black, white, yellow and red

Tears, tears
If we continue to live like this
Work like this
We need to unify everyone
To live together in the world
Love and liberty is all it
Needs for humanity

Without racial discrimination
Each colour in unison
Brilliant and clear
Giving the world
Peace and liberty

Song Production Information

NAOKI

This is a trance song with the lyrical theme of "love and peace for the mankind". Asking for peace and hope for every conflict that arises between ethnic groups and humans that consists of resentment, grief... these messages were fully incorporated in the song and lyrics.

I think the result is a song with a strong spiritual message... I personally like it very much.

Video Production Information

shiro

The lyrics are in French, but they include NAOKI's wonderful message of peace. During production, I was moved to tears many times by the sorrowful prayers.

As "prayer" can be done by all living things, the message was naturally made to be spoken into existence.

During production of the movie, NAOKI gave me the lyrics, written in French.

It's a very lovely poem, so please try to translate it if you're feeling confident your language skills.
