[Verse 1]
マルコ＝ポーロの黄金の国
ジパングを目指し西へと進んだ
トスカネッリの地球球体説を信じて
イサベル女王を説得した
[Pre-Chorus]
サンタ・マリア号に乗り込んで
大西洋へと船出した
「新大陸」発見とは知らずに
そこをインドだと思い込んだ
[Chorus]
イサベル １４９２ コロンブス
アメリカ大陸に到達
ヨーロッパ人にとっては希望の土地
でも先住民には悲劇の始まり
[Verse 2]
ジャガイモ トウモロコシ トマト
ヨーロッパの食文化を変えた
でもヨーロッパからは天然痘
先住民の人口を激減させた
[Bridge]
アステカやインカの王国は
滅ぼされ 金や銀が奪われた
コロンブスが開いた道は
交易と略奪の２つの顔
[Outro]
英雄か 侵略者か
両面から見ないと
歴史の真実は
見えてこない
