Description
It feels like someone gathered all of Tokyo in one evening, with its steamy streets, the smell of grilled fish, and the funny signs where every letter seems to wink. People here (or rather, in general) are like spices: some are sharp, some are sweet, and some suddenly add a note of madness to the overall stew. The music shifts from laughter to light sadness, from noodles to lyrics, as if between a couple of sips of sake. It has no plot, just the feeling of a live conversation where even the dog from the old house chimes in and sounds more convincing than half the singers on stage. It's not a song, but a warm, funny, and completely unpredictable gastronomic tour of human faces, like an evening that lasted a little longer than planned.
Lyrics and translation
Original
お腹が空いたらご飯を食べに行 こう。
だうだう巡りの僕らは騒しない日々に酔っ たりしちゃう。
ないものねだりやめてほ らちょっと一息。
きっと誰だってしょげちゃう時は あるよ。
そんなグダグダその話ちっとも待た ずに顔上げて。
お腹が空いた らご飯を食べに行こう。
ご飯を食べると元気になれ るよ。 どんな天才も腹は減るんだよ。
そ んなもんさ気楽に行こうね。
生活の 寂しさを彩るご飯を食べに行こう。
きっといつだっ て僕ならここにいるよ。
大丈夫だよって繰り返し言ってあげ るよ。 顔上げて。
お腹が空いたらご飯を食べに行こう。
ご飯を 食べると元気になれるよ。
どんな天才も腹 は減るんだよ。
そんなもんさ気楽に行こうね。
生活の 寂しさを彩るご飯を食べに行きたいなら僕 らのために一緒にご飯を食べに行こう。
English translation
If you're hungry, let's go eat.
Those of us who travel around a lot get drunk on the days when we don't make any noise.
Stop begging for things you don't have and take a break.
I'm sure everyone feels depressed at times.
I looked up without waiting even a moment to hear that story.
If you're hungry, let's go eat.
Eating rice will make you feel better. Every genius gets hungry.
So let's take it easy.
Let's go eat some food that will brighten up the loneliness of life.
I'm sure I'll be here no matter what.
I'll tell you over and over again that it's okay. Look up.
If you're hungry, let's go eat.
Eating rice will make you feel better.
No matter how talented you are, you get hungry.
Let's take it easy.
If you want to go out to eat a meal to brighten up the loneliness of your life, let's go out to eat together for us.
