Lyrics & Translation

[English]

A small rule.

No more additions.

I'll fly with the throwing bonus.

Hey, don't get my hopes up too much.

I can't see what's going on. I'm going to set you straight.

You are at the center of all this misery. You are definitely not my friend.

Who are you?

Why can't you people just live a normal life?

There are two conditions. When I say "Police,"

you must hand over your body for one minute.

And...

forget this promise.

[Japanese]

小めルール

追加を終了する。

投げるボーナスで飛ぶぜ。

おい、あんまワクワクさせんなよ。

私には何が見えていない。叩き直してやる。

全ての不幸の中心はお前だ。断じて友じゃない。

お前誰だ?

お前たちはどうして普通に生きられない?

条件は2つ。俺が警察と唱えたら

1分間体をけ渡すこと。

そして

この約束を忘れる

Key Grammar Structures

• あんまワクワクさせんなよ

  ➔ Negative imperative/prohibitive (V-na)

  ➔ The suffix ""-na"" added to the dictionary form of the verb ""saseru"" creates a rough, casual command to stop an action.

• 私には何が見えていない

  ➔ Potential negative form (V-nai)

  ➔ The verb ""mieru"" (can see) is conjugated into the negative ""miete-inai"" to denote an inability to perceive something.

• 叩き直してやる

  ➔ Compound verb + V-te yaru

  ➔ ""Tatakinaosu"" (to knock back into shape) followed by ""yaru"" implies doing an action with determination or a sense of superiority.

• お前たちはどうして普通に生きられない

  ➔ Interrogative + Adverbial + Potential Negative

  ➔ The structure ""doushite"" (why) + ""futsuni"" (normally) + ""ikirarenai"" (cannot live) questions the fundamental nature of the subjects.

• 俺が警察と唱えたら

  ➔ Conditional ""-tara""

  ➔ The ""-tara"" form indicates a prerequisite: ""If/when I chant 'police', then...""

• 1分間体を明け渡すこと

  ➔ Noun-modifying clause / Command by requirement

  ➔ Ending a sentence with a noun (taigen-dome) like ""-koto"" makes it sound like a formal rule or strict instruction.

• この約束を忘れる

  ➔ Dictionary form as imperative/future instruction

  ➔ Using the dictionary form ""wasureru"" at the end of a command list indicates a required action to be performed in the future.
