Lyrics

yoiyami ni tsumahajiki kanashimi ni amazarashi hanagumori
kareta machi nibe mo nashi wabishige ni hanatarashi heraherari

waraenai kono chinke na dorojiai karakurenai no kamikazari aramashiki koigataki
sawaritai berubetto no manajiri ni usurasamui emi ni

anata furamingo azayaka na furamingo odoru mama
furafura waratte mou kaeranai
samishisa to shitto bakka nokoshite
maido ari tsugi wa motto daiji ni shite

omedoori arigatashi yamikumo ni maiagari uwasuberi
koke odoshi kuchizusami urotae ni karuhazumi ahou sarashi

itooshii sono koe dake kiiteitai hanpa ni kaseida abukuzeni takari dasu hirutonbi
kudaranai kono suteeji de hikaru no wa anata dake demo ii

sore wa furamingo osoroshi ya furamingo hanikanda
fuwafuwa ukande mou sainara
sorya nai ne motto chanto hanasou ze
chikushoume haita tsuba mo nomanaide

hisame ni utarete hanatarashi atashi wa migi te ni nekojarashii
kyoubi kono teido ja damasenai hazama de samayou tokoshie ni
jigoku no enma ni moushi iri ano ko wo miukete okunna mashi
yoidore hariko no monogatari yattareshinu made sarushibai

anata furamingo azayaka na furamingo odoru mama
furafura waratte mou kaeranai
samishisa to shitto bakka nokoshite
maido ari tsugi wa motto daiji ni shite

English Translation

In the darkness of the night, I feel isolated  The rain is lashing onto my sorrow in the cherry blossom haze
The wizened city streets, they have no time for me  My nose is dripping, feeling dreary, I'm sneering hopelessly

I can't even laugh at this cheap and lowly fight  The crimson hair ornament you wear. Hated love enemy
I wanna' touch the velvet tail of your eye  and that slight cold smile of yours

You're a fla fla fla flamingo,  so vivid  You're a fla fla fla flamingo,  keep dancing
You're floating away with a smile, never to return
Leaving only sorrow and jealousy behind
Thanks as always darlin' can you love me better next time

Feeling elated, thankful that I caught a glimpse of you  I'm blinded, I'm walking on thin air, and my mind is cloudy
Trying to be someone new, singing a tune,  Saying something flighty, end up looking like a fool

I just want to hear that voice that I love  So I made some easy money,  stolen after all by bunch of cheap thieves
I don't care that it's only you,  shining brightly on this ridiculous stage

It's a fla fla fla flamingo,  spine chillin'  It's a fla fla fla flamingo,  smile coyly
You're floating away, does this mean good-bye
Are you kidding me? Let's talk about this
Taking back your words, this is so fuckin' uncool

Beaten by the sleety rain, nose running  My right hand gripping a stupid cat's toy
Can't fool anyone with a toy nowadays,  wandering forever in this love affair
Oh King of Hell I appeal to you,  please judge her charms for me
A story of a drunk papier-mache doll,  playing this silly game till the day I die

You're a fla fla fla flamingo,  so vivid  You're a fla fla fla flamingo,  keep dancing
You're floating away with a smile, never to return
Leaving only sorrow and jealousy behind
Thanks as always darlin' can you love me better next time
