Grammar:
-
隅から隅まで手を抜かない
➔ Potential form of verbs with ない (nai)
➔ "手を抜かない" is the negative of the potential form. The potential form indicates ability or possibility. Here, it means 'cannot neglect' or 'won't neglect' every corner.
-
女子ならキラキラ輝きたい
➔ Conditional form なら (nara) expressing a hypothetical or conditional situation.
➔ "女子なら" means "if (you are) a girl." The speaker wants to shine if they are a girl. The form expresses a condition under which the desire holds.
-
あなたはみんなと違うと言うなら
➔ Quotation marker と (to) + Conditional form 言うなら (iu nara)
➔ "と言うなら" means "if you say that...". Here, it means 'if you say you are different from everyone else...'.
-
私を捕まえて
➔ Te-form + imperative
➔ "捕まえて" is the te-form of 捕まえる (tsukamaeru, to catch) implied as an imperative. More polite than using the dictionary form imperative, but still a command. 'Catch me.'
-
肌には気安く触れさせない
➔ Causative-passive form (触れさせない - furesasenai).
➔ The causative-passive form here means 'I won't let (someone) touch (me) casually'. It expresses the speaker's intention to not allow something to happen to them.
-
甘えてたいけど
➔ たい (tai) form expressing desire + けど (kedo) indicating contrast/concession
➔ "甘えてたいけど" means "I want to be spoiled, but...". "たい" indicates desire, and "けど" sets up a contrasting statement.
-
媚びたりできない
➔ たり (tari) form to list actions non-exhaustively + できない (dekinai) 'cannot do'.
➔ "媚びたりできない" means "I can't fawn, or do things like that". "たり" indicates that 媚びる (to fawn) is one example of things the speaker *cannot* do. The list of actions is not exhaustive.
-
隠す本音に耳を済ましてよ
➔ Imperative form of verb + よ (yo) for emphasis: 済ましてよ (sumashite yo)
➔ "済ましてよ" is the imperative form of 済ます (sumasu, to finish, but here, to 'clear', 'focus') + the particle よ (yo) which adds emphasis. The full sentence translates to: "Listen closely to my hidden true feelings!"
