BON Lyrics (English Translation) – Number_i

[Verse 1: Sho Hirano, Yuta Kishi]
Yeah
The king snatches
I’ll steal your tightly closed heart
More important than status and fame
Let’s goat, let’s goat
Neither ah nor this
Create while saying
SHAMI BEN-BEN-BEN-BEN
Because I want to do something bigger
My life is filled with everyone’s smiles
We make Bonsai three geniuses
Furaibo not idol
No no, a bad boy who carries the world on his shoulders
Get on board to be in the world (With you)

[Pre-Chorus: Yuta Jinguji, Yuta Kishi]
Ah, 100 million people dancing at the Sunset Bon Dance
Words that will bloom in the future
Unexperienced Iyer Sasa
Screaming PIKA PIKA Fuurinkazan Love is brilliant
Uh, my face print I look up at the burning shrine
Touch the sky, eliminate all obstacles
Embracing your earthly desires

[Chorus: Sho Hirano, Yuta Kishi, Yuta Jinguji]
A new church, what we left behind
The bonsai you grow can be sold without tax.
You decide the value of this song too.
I don’t have time to wonder, goes on
Let the flowers bloom
BON, BON, BON, BON, BON, BON
Let the flowers bloom
BON, BON, BON, BON, BON, BON
BON-BON-BON

[Post-Chorus: Sho Hirano, Yuta Kishi, Yuta Jinguji]
Well take it easy and have fun
Number_i is doing pretty well
Even this moment is Bon-Bon-Bon-Bon

[Verse 2: Sho Hirano, Yuta Kishi, Yuta Jinguji, Yuta Kishi & Yuta Jinguji]
Yeah, Number_i Non-standard bonsai
Please give me wings so I can fly
From hash to hash
The town breeze that cuts the scene
You like a wire (wire)
Can you hear me? Huh?
From the Jurassic period to the Reiwa period
TV show radio to the dome
(tiki-tiki-tiki uh)
Oh my god, those guys are dead!
Let’s all unite with love
(Bon-Bon-Bon, Bon-Bon-Bon-Bon-Bon)
water on dead leaves
Anti freezes
The peace that grew from the roots

[Pre-Chorus: Yuta Jinguji, Yuta Kishi]
Ah, sunset Bon dance
100 million people dancing
Words that will bloom in the future
Ah, chase at breakneck speed
weathercock spins
Internet Maji Easy
Butchigiru I’m KC
At first it grows quickly from a small pot.
Expanding image

[Interlude: Sho Hirano]
Yo, it’s not even here
Not even there
Even if I am reborn
The stage where the review goes up

[Chorus: Yuta Kishi, Yuta Jinguji, Sho Hirano]
A new church, what we left behind
The bonsai you grow will sell no tax.
Even this song
you decide the value
I don’t have time to wonder, goes on
Let the flowers bloom
BON, BON, BON, BON, BON, BON
Let the flowers bloom
BON, BON, BON, BON, BON, BON
BON-BON-BON

[Outro: All]
Yo, west side, to the east side
We’re Bonsai, I’m a Bonsai
North side, to the south side
You’re a Bonsai, we are Bonsai (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
West side, to the east side
We’re Bonsai, I’m a Bonsai
North side, to the south side
You’re a Bonsai
We are BON-BON-BON-BON
