Lyric

I'll Be Moving to an Island

Shinsei

I’m sitting here in front of the door

But I don’t care It’s the inside or outside

Because both is alike

I have started thinking about something

It’s too boring doing nothing

I don’t have any particular problems

But it’s just a habit

I’d like to paint

In my notebook in my head

Concrete wall around me

Bring me some wine

You’re always doing so

And I’m busy seeing my flowers

But we are not prison guards

It’ll be better for us going out somewhere

You know it’s like we’ve already been everywhere

It’s the same if we go anywhere

I... I want to do so, too

But you know it’s the same

I know that

I just want to be released

Released… and live in another place

Yes, yes! I’ll go somewhere

Somewhere like an island

Where there are tropicals all around

Where people sing and dance

I’ll be moving to an island

I’ll be moving to an island

Let me know, where is that?

I’ll go there someday

Someday I’ll be released

Now I’ll be quiet

Someday I’ll be free

Someday, someday, someday, someday

I’m bringing you some wine

Let me drink it a little

Now I’m planting my flowers

In the small garden

I’ve always been dreaming

That somehow I can slip out of this island

Yes, it’s the place many people hope to

Spend all their vacation in

I’ve grown up here

I’ve grown up told I have to

Carry on the tradition

I had to were a strange dress

And learn an old-fashioned dance

I’ve never been to other countries

Oh, I wish once I could go for a sightseeing

Cut off coconuts!

Strike hot springs!

For your island’s freedom and peace!

Sling a hammock!

Wish I could run away and rest

Run away and rest

Run away and take a rest

Somewhere but here

I am a farmer in a small village

My duty is to be given the god’s harvest of yam

We, the villagers, can’t read or write well

But we are on good terms

And there’s something we all like to talk about

They say, a man called Napoleon

Is coming to our land

We’re all longing for it

They say he’ll take us to a better place to live

What will it be like?

How happy will we be?

What day is it today?

I can’t sleep well at night

Didn’t I tell you so?
