[English]

Super sleepy, can't move

Honestly, I don't want to do anything

It's such a hassle... Bed is love ❤️

Currently in full-on hermit mode

But it's morning, so brush your teeth properly

Hurry up, I beg you

Oh man, you're such a worrywart, damn it

Let's get up at 6 and get ready

Hey, that's way too early!

But in society

Isn't it really that early?

Society is crazy... really

Bought pudding, looking forward to it

But it disappeared, I’m seriously stressed

It’s you, right? It’s you, right?

Today, I’m genuinely scary

No, wait a moment

That wasn’t me—proof?

Hold on a second

The other day, that shortcake

You ate my one, didn’t you? (I saw)

Anyway, don’t worry about the small stuff

Don’t worry about it

Today and tomorrow, I’ll be cocky again!

But I keep rolling around, feeling confident

Congratulations, yeah!

In the end, we're brothers, bound together.

Well, every day, we’re a bit rough 😢

Eyal Sansu

Eyal Sansu

My senses x star power in an unknown math...

I don’t get it, I really don’t

Even when I say something, you’re like, 'Whoa'.

Riding the beat feels pretty good, mostly

Sometimes I try to act cool, but don’t worry about it

Today and tomorrow, I’ll be cocky again!

But I keep rolling around, feeling confident

Congratulations, yeah!

In the end, we're brothers, bound together.

Well, every day, we’re a bit rough 😢

I wanna keep dancing forever like this

But that’s tiring, I want to quit

Show some guts, dancing all night

Our song will never end

Today and tomorrow, I’ll be cocky again!

But I keep rolling around, feeling confident

Congratulations, yeah!

In the end, we're brothers, bound together.

Well, every day, we’re a bit rough 😢

[Japanese]

チョー眠い　動けない

正直何にもしたくない

面倒くさい...布団には愛❤️

只今絶賛引きこもり

いやでも朝なんだからちゃんと歯磨いて

Hurry upしてくれ頼むぜ

やれやれ世話焼けちゃうよねコンチクショウ

6時起床から構築しよう

おい無茶早いな！

でも社会じゃ

別に言うほど早くないか

社会やばいな...もう

買ったプリン　楽しみに

していたのに消えてガチ病み

お前だろ？　お前だろ？

今日の俺は本当に怖い

いやちょっと待って

僕ちゃうよ証拠は？

ってちょっと待って

この間ショートケーキ

僕のやつ君食べてたろ（見てたぞ）

まあまあまあ細かい事は

気にしないでって

今日も明日も矜羯羅がっちゃう！

だけど転がって矜羯羅がって

congratulations さ！

結局結ばれてんだ僕らbrother.

とまあ毎日僕らはお粗末です😢

イーアルサンスー

イーアルサンスー

俺の感性×スター性の未知なる算数...

いや分からない分からない

言葉掛けても引くくらいで

ビートにライドしてる間調子良いなだいぶ

たまにカッコつけるけど気にしないでって

今日も明日も矜羯羅がっちゃう！

だけど転がって矜羯羅がって

congratulations さ！

結局結ばれてんだ僕らbrother.

とまあ毎日僕らはお粗末です😢

このまま一生踊ってたい

それは疲れるし辞めさせたい

根性見せろよdancing all night.

僕らの歌は終わりはしないぜ

今日も明日も矜羯羅がっちゃう！

だけど転がって矜羯羅がって

congratulations さ！

結局結ばれてんだ僕らbrother.

とまあ毎日僕らはお粗末です😢
