In My Hi-Heel

• By: 加治ひとみ

Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

Now let's get going

Now let's get started

Hi-Heelでウォーキング

Walking in high heels

鏡の前ポーズ決めるの

Posing in front of the mirror

ハリウッド女優の気分

Feeling like a Hollywood starlet

失敗ばかりの日々も

Even on days when things go wrong

不思議な気持ち

There's a strange feeling

どんな事もできそうよ

I feel like I can handle anything

In My Hi-Heel

In my high heel

お手本通りなんて

Feeling bored if I follow the example

うんざりなのよ rule rule rule

Yeah, it's tiring, rule rule rule

気を遣うたび愛想笑い

Smiling politely to hide my feelings

イバラノミチの Girl's life

A girl's life on a thorny road

時にスキップしながら

Sometimes skipping along the way

進むのよGoing my way

Moving forward, going my way

大胆不敵が丁度いい

Being bold and fearless feels just right

Hi-Heelで世界征服

Conquering the world in high heels

臆病なままじゃ

If I stay afraid

景色は変わらない

The scenery won't change

斬新な私と出会う

Meeting a new version of myself

13cmの魔法

With 13 centimeters of magic

扉を開けるの

I open the door

歩いて行けるの

And walk forward

I'm in my high heel

I'm in my high heel

in my high heel ワガママでいい

In my high heel, I can be selfish

I'm in my high heel

I'm in my high heel

in my high heel 女の子なら

In my high heel, if you're a girl

清く 正しく 美しく

Pure, proper, and beautiful

そんな私たちの時代

In this era of ours

後悔するのはいやでしょ

You don't want to have regrets

いやでしょ

No, you don't
