A song on side A of the 1980 album “ROM,” it sings about the meaning of the existence of men and women, prompting reflection.

It says that no man can live without women, that they need each other, and that they are in balance.

Dschinghis Khan – Mata Hari (1982)

The figure who captured Genghis Khan’s attention was Mata Hari, the world-famous “too-beautiful” female spy.

This song recounts the tumultuous life of the dancer who, during World War I, was suspected of being a double agent for Germany and France and was executed.

Now synonymous with the idea of a female spy, “Mata Hari” was the stage name she used during her dancing career.

It’s a song included on an album released in 1981, in which they sing “Michael, Row the Boat Ashore.” Performed with Dschinghis Khan’s characteristically beautiful harmonies at a relaxed tempo, it’s an African American spiritual that carries a sense of melancholy.

It’s a track where you’ll want to listen closely to the lyrics.

Dschinghis Khan – Pablo Picasso

A track by Genghis Khan that could be called an homage song to Picasso, the greatest artist of the 20th century.

It’s a tribute to Picasso’s free expression and his steadfast personal style, and its electronic arrangement and disco-inspired sound still feel fresh even today.

PistoleroGenghis Khan20rank/position

Dschinghis Khan – Pistolero 1981

This song, whose Japanese title is “Aishu no Pistolero” (literally, “The Melancholy Pistolero”), is actually a poignant story: a boy whose parents were murdered has lived a long time yearning for revenge.

When he finally finds the culprit and is about to carry out his vengeance, he hears his parents’ voices from somewhere telling him to stop, and he gives up on revenge.

The melody is beautiful, and the repeated word “pistolero” lingers in your ears for a long time.

PusztaGenghis Khan21rank/position

Puszta　／　Dschinghis Khan

It’s a plaintive song in which a man living alone in the wilderness recalls the woman he loved and is moved to tears, with a violin sounding heartbreakingly throughout.

The woman he loved will never return; overwhelmed by this sorrow, the solitary man does not express it in words.

He simply plays the violin to convey it—and those who hear it are moved to tears.
