Dressed-up fox

Fluttering twin tails

Bursting out, disappearing
(Kurukuru, Wasshoi)

Let's go, seven transformations
Konkonkonk, Konkonk!
Yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes, yes
Ancient maiden foxes
Dancing in fleeting dreams
Through thousands of ages
Living in the present
Ah, yes, women are always actresses
Not a fox, not a fox
Virgin Megitsune
Ah, Yamato style, women change
Smiling with your face, crying in your heart
Just saying "That's right"
Won't show tears
(Fox, Fox)

Ancient maiden foxes
Singing in fleeting dreams
Through thousands of ages
Living in the modern world
Ah, yes, women are always actresses
Not a fox, not a fox
Maiden, don’t underestimate
And beware
Ah, Yamato style, women change
Always, so they don’t disappear
And keep the fire burning
Ah, to bloom and then fall—that’s a woman’s fate
Smiling with your face, crying in your heart
Pure-hearted maiden foxes
...
Ah...

    ➔ The phrase expresses a desire to keep the feelings or state persistent and unchanging, similar to "so that it never disappears."

  • 花火を上げるの

    ➔ を (wo) is the direct object marker; 上げる (ageru) is a transitive verb meaning "to raise" or "to launch"; の (no) nominalizes the verb, turning the phrase into a noun phrase "the act of raising/launching fireworks."
