Lyrics & Translation

[Japanese]

[English]

身に覚えのない星に　願い　撃つ

I shoot a wish at an unfamiliar star.

踏み外したら　罰罰罰　ワンツーでちゅーぶらりん

If I stumble, punishment, punishment, punishment, one-two and I'm left dangling.

いい子にしてたら　笑ってくれるかな？

If I'm good, will they smile for me?

目覚めても　飢え飢え飢え飢え　夢で見たあの子はいない

Even if I wake up, I'm still starving, the person I saw in my dream isn't here.

なんできみはしんじゃうの？

Why did you die?

なんでおこっているの？　

Why are you angry?

なんでぼくはないてるの？　

Why am I crying?

なんでひとりにするの？

Why do you leave me alone?

腐ってるのは地球の方だから　うまく歩けない

It's the Earth that's rotten, so I can't walk properly.

暗闇でも見つけて　この指止まれ　

Find me even in the darkness, come stop on this finger.

苦しいとか寂しいとか誰かに言えたなら

If only I could tell someone I'm suffering or lonely.

魔法だっていらないよ

I wouldn't even need magic.

ハッピーラッキーチャッピー　置いていかないで

Happy Lucky Chappy, don't leave me behind.

霧泳いでる街に　夢現

In a city swimming in fog, I'm caught between a dream and reality.

目醒めれば　しっぺしっぺしっぺしっぺ　失敗で宙に舞う

When I wake up, it's slap, slap, slap, slap, failure sends me flying into the air.

なんでままはないてるの？

Why is Mom crying?

なんでおこっているの？

Why are you angry?

なんでぱぱかえらないの？

Why isn't Dad coming home?

なんでなんでなんで？

Why, why, why?

腐ってるのはお前の方だから　うまく笑えない

It's you who's rotten, so I can't smile properly.

羨んでは咲かせて　このまま染まれ

Envy it and make it bloom, just let yourself be stained this way.

うるさいな疲れたな　もうどうでもいいわ

It's so noisy, I'm so tired, I don't care anymore.

教科書なんていらないよ

I don't even need textbooks.

ハッピーラッキーチャッピー　どこにいるの？

Happy Lucky Chappy, where are you?

腐ってるのは地球の方だから　うまく歩けない

It's the Earth that's rotten, so I can't walk properly.

暗闇でも見つけて　この指止まれ　

Find me even in the darkness, come stop on this finger.

会いたいとか助けてとかあなたに言えたなら

If only I could tell you I want to see you or that I need help.

魔法だっていらないよ

I wouldn't even need magic.

ハッピーラッキーチャッピー　置いていかないで

Happy Lucky Chappy, don't leave me behind.

ハッピーラッキーチャッピー　置いていかないで
