Japanese	Romaji	English
いたいけなモーション振り切れるテンション	itaike na moshon furikireru tenshon	Innocent motion, tension breaking free
意外、意外いけるものね	igai, igai ikeru mono ne	It works, it works, surprisingly well
繰り返す問答答えなら無用	kurikaesu mondou kotae nara muyou	The question is repeated, but there’s no point in answering
嫌い、嫌い縛らないで	kirai, kirai shibaranai de	I hate it, I hate it, don’t restrain me

ひとりぼっちの「ぼっち」を押すの	hitoribocchi no "bocchi" o osu no	I press the "on" of "alone"^[1]
やめて、よしての妄想で	yamete yoshite no mousou de	With a delusion of reluctance

買えないものなどないのです	kaenai mono nado nai no desu	There’s nothing money can’t buy
転じて言えば何物にも	tenjite ieba nani mono ni mo	In other words, you can sell anything
値段をつけて売るのです	nedan o tsukete uru no desu	If you just put a price tag on
尊徳の感情はないの	sontoku no kanjou wa nai no	There’s no honor or virtue in profit and loss^[2]

ホンノリと少々チラミセの本性	honnori to shoushou chiramise no honshou	I let slip the tiniest glimpse of my true character
ズルい、ズルい可愛くない	zurui, zurui kawaikunai	It’s sly, it’s sly, and it’s not cute at all
それならばこうしようズルムケの本性	sore naraba kou shiyou zurumuke no honshou	In that case I’ll try this, peeling back the skin of my true self
臭い、臭いはしたないわ	kusai, kusai hashitanai wa	It stinks, it stinks, and it’s shameful

間違い探しのペアルック	machigai sagashi no pearukku	Spot the differences in this matching pair
あれとこれとそれとどれ	are to kore to sore to dore	This one and that one and the other one and which one?

飽きたらガムを捨てるように	akitara gamu o suteru you ni	The reason I go looking for new love
新たな恋を探す道理	arata na koi o sagasu douri	Like some people throw away gum when they get bored of it
パズルの凸凹意外にも	pazuru no dekoboko igai ni mo	Is that I’m not like a puzzle piece
誰とでもハマるようだ	dare to demo hamaru you da	I can fit with anyone

降りしきる雨の中　止まるべき錨を捨て	furishikiru ame no naka tomaru beki ikari o sute	In the pouring rain, I throw away the anchor that should stop me
人生は「コウカイ」という名の船旅だ	jinsei wa "koukai" to iu na no funatabi da	Life is a cruise called “Regret”^[3]

遮るものをあげるならば	saegiru mono o ageru naraba	If I put out obstacles
心と道徳、法律か	kokoro to doutoku, houritsu ka	Morals and laws of the heart
お高い壁も遠回りを	otakai kabe mo toomawari o	There’s a way around even the highest walls
したならばほら	shita naraba hora	So you can say “hey,
「こんにちは」	"konnichiwa"	“Hello!”^[4]

「アイ」とはなんぞと問われれば	"ai" to wa nanzo to towarereba	If you ask me what love is
それは「ワタシ」と答えようぞ	sore wa "watashi" to kotaeyou zo	I’ll answer “me”^[5]
ひび割れしにくいだけなので、	hibi wareshi nikui dake na no de,	Just because diamonds don’t crack
ダイヤなどいらないのです	daiya nado iranai no desu	Doesn’t mean I need any

Translation Notes

↑ The line is originally “I press the ‘bocchi’ of ‘hitoribocchi’,” where “bocchi” means “button” and “hitoribocchi” means “alone.” Thus, in the translation, it’s “on” as in “on button” and also as in “letters that appear in the word ‘alone’.” (I had previously translated this line as “Alone, I press the button,” because I didn’t want to even attempt the wordplay, but looking at this song again after not thinking about it for a long time, I had a brainwave.)
↑ “Sontoku” normally is written with characters meaning “profit and loss” but is here written with characters meaning “honor and virtue.”
↑ This is another pun–it’s “a funatabi called koukai,” where “funatabi” and “koukai” can both mean cruise or boat voyage, but “koukai” can also mean “regret.”
↑ The printed lyrics here feature various greetings in different languages, but what’s sung is only “konnichiwa.” The languages represented are, in order, Chinese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian (twice), Hindi (twice), Tamil, Hebrew, English, Persian, Turkish, Persian again, Armenian, Russian (twice), Greek (twice), Bulgarian (twice), and Italian (twice).
↑ Another pun, cross-lingual this time: “Ai” is Japanese for “love,” but also homophonous with the English “I”–so when asked what “ai/I” means, the singer would choose the “me” definition over the “love” definition.
