Burn Lyrics Translation – Dos Monos
The lyrics of ‘Burn’ challenge the listener to take control of their life, with lines like ‘light the fire only when it truly counts.’ Dos Monos mentions sushi eaten on armchair theories and the creeping ripples of melancholy, blending everyday imagery with deeper reflections. The song invites us to change ourselves and the world, steadily and deliberately.
Dasee dasei ni ki wo tsukeroWatch out for this lame inertia,
Koko datte toki dake wa hi wo tsukerolight the fire only when it truly counts.
Udatsu aganneeCan’t ever seem to get ahead,
Bigaku toka izumuwith all these aesthetics and ‘isms’.
Damatte unazukaseShut up and make them nod,
Kikasu kono rizumuforce them to hear this rhythm.
Orutana kidori no outa no happyoukaiA recital of songs pretending to be alternative,
Oh tasai na sarada bouruoh, what a diverse salad bowl.
Kedo sore dake no kiyoubinbou naraBut if that just makes you a jack-of-all-trades,
Kuou miito molet’s devour the meat,
Nomou shouri no miidoand drink the mead of victory.
Nani wa tomoare karada ga shihonWhatever happens, your body is your capital.
Shihonshugi janaku kore wa kihonThis isn’t capitalism, it’s just the basics.
Aikokushugi janaku aisu NipponNot patriotism, just loving Japan,
Hiyorimishugi janaku miseru mihonnot opportunism, but showing an example.
Jibun wo kaeyouLet’s change ourselves.
Sekai wo kaeyouLet’s change the world,
Mainichi jimichi nisteadily, every single day.
Ouchi ni kaerouLet’s go home.
Kaeru no ko wa kaeru demoEven if the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree,
Kaeru taka no tsume wo motta nyuutaipuI’m a ‘New Type’ of frog armed with a hawk’s talons.
