Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I shoot a wish at an unfamiliar star.

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

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

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

Why did you die?

Why are you angry?

Why am I crying?

Why do you leave me alone?

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

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

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

I wouldn't even need magic.

Happy Lucky Chappy, don't leave me behind.

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

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

Why is Mom crying?

Why are you angry?

Why isn't Dad coming home?

Why, why, why?

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

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

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

I don't even need textbooks.

Happy Lucky Chappy, where are you?

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

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

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

I wouldn't even need magic.

Happy Lucky Chappy, don't leave me behind.

Happy Lucky Chappy, don't leave me behind.

[Japanese]

身に覚えのない星に　願い　撃つ

踏み外したら　罰罰罰　ワンツーでちゅーぶらりん

いい子にしてたら　笑ってくれるかな？

目覚めても　飢え飢え飢え飢え　夢で見たあの子はいない

なんできみはしんじゃうの？

なんでおこっているの？　

なんでぼくはないてるの？　

なんでひとりにするの？

腐ってるのは地球の方だから　うまく歩けない

暗闇でも見つけて　この指止まれ　

苦しいとか寂しいとか誰かに言えたなら

魔法だっていらないよ

ハッピーラッキーチャッピー　置いていかないで

霧泳いでる街に　夢現

目醒めれば　しっぺしっぺしっぺしっぺ　失敗で宙に舞う

なんでままはないてるの？

なんでおこっているの？

なんでぱぱかえらないの？

なんでなんでなんで？

腐ってるのはお前の方だから　うまく笑えない

羨んでは咲かせて　このまま染まれ

うるさいな疲れたな　もうどうでもいいわ

教科書なんていらないよ

ハッピーラッキーチャッピー　どこにいるの？

腐ってるのは地球の方だから　うまく歩けない

暗闇でも見つけて　この指止まれ　

会いたいとか助けてとかあなたに言えたなら

魔法だっていらないよ

ハッピーラッキーチャッピー　置いていかないで

ハッピーラッキーチャッピー　置いていかないで
