最近変わったファッションもテンションも

Recently changed fashion and mood

どうやら自分のためじゃない

It seems it's not for yourself

不吉な予感が当たる前に 先手必勝

Before the ominous premonition hits, strike first

黒い毛並み逆立つ

The black fur bristles

Black cat 闇に潜め

Black cat, lurking in the darkness

Black cat タイミング見つける

Black cat, finding the right timing

Black cat 鋭い爪出す時を待ってる

Black cat, waiting for the moment to show its sharp claws

Black cat どんな場所に

Black cat, no matter where

Black cat 隠れていても

Black cat, even if hidden

Black cat 鋭い嗅覚で見つけだす

Black cat, will find you with its keen sense of smell

最近拒んだ愛情表現も

Recently rejected expressions of affection

どうやら体調のせいじゃない

It seems it's not due to health

お涙頂戴のドラマなんていらない

I don't need a tear-jerking drama

ぼんやり 三日月光る

Dully, the crescent moon shines

Black cat 執念深く

Black cat, with deep obsession

Black cat 追い続ける

Black cat, continues to chase

Black cat 猫を殺せば七代祟る

Black cat, if you kill a cat, it curses for seven generations

Black catどんな言い訳

Black cat, no matter the excuse

Black cat 並べたって

Black cat, even if lined up

Black cat 鋭い牙で急所を狙う

Black cat, aiming for the vital spot with sharp fangs

Black cat 裏切り者ぶっ飛ばす

Black cat, smashing the traitor

鼻に付く匂いすぐに分かる

I can smell that annoying scent right away

夜な夜な隠れて爪を砥ぐ

Night after night, sharpening its claws in hiding

縄張り荒らしたらマジでキル

If you invade my territory, it's a serious kill

見られたら最後 気を付けて背後

If you're seen, it's the end, be careful behind you

バレねぇとでも思ってんの？

Do you think you won't be found out?

バカは死ぬまで治らねぇと言うが

They say fools won't change until they die

出会った頃のあれはwhat about

What about that time when we first met?

さらば ならば バカは どっちだ

Farewell, then, who's the fool?

ハメられちゃってんのはこっちじゃね？

Isn't it us who got trapped?

怨念 執念 ナニ 舐めとんねん

Resentment, obsession, what are you underestimating?

汚ねぇやり方すんじゃねぇぞテメェ

Don't use dirty tricks, you hear?

ミャーミャー

Meow meow

捨て猫になる前にstand Up

Before becoming a stray cat, stand up

こっちから先に捨てんだ

I'll throw you away first

Ladies

Ladies

化け猫の恐怖知らしめろ

Make them aware of the terror of the monster cat

Bla bla bla black cat

Bla bla bla black cat

愛してないなら 早く捨てて

If you don't love me, throw me away quickly

最後に深く 爪痕残す

In the end, leaving deep claw marks

Black cat 闇に潜め

Black cat, lurking in the darkness

Black catタイミング見つける

Black cat, finding the right timing

Black cat 鋭い爪出す時を待ってる

Black cat, waiting for the moment to show its sharp claws

Black catどんな場所に

Black cat, no matter where

Black cat 隠れていても

Black cat, even if hidden

Black cat 鋭い嗅覚で見つけだす

Black cat, will find you with its keen sense of smell

Black cat 執念深く

Black cat, with deep obsession

Black cat 追い続ける

Black cat, continues to chase
