Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

何処から喰へば良いものか

Where should I start eating?

美味いものか不味いものか

Is it delicious or disgusting?

さっぱり俺にゃ分からない

Honestly, I don't know

決まりばかりの世の中じゃ

In a world ruled by rules,

仏が何時も水を差す

People always get water poured on them

我慢するのが礼儀でしょう？

Patience is just good manners, right?

鬼がこの身を唆す

The demons stir within me

御先にどうぞ遠慮なく

Please go ahead, don't hold back

あゝかっぴらけや其御口

Ah, open wide your mouth

宴、宴が始月曜

The feast, the feast begins on Monday

勿体無ぇや　一度切り

Such a waste, just once in a lifetime

好きなもの丈　食べなはれ

Eat all the things you love

何方を捲りゃ良いものか

Which way should I turn?

白い札か黒い札か

White card or black card?

一丁賭けるとしませうか

Want to bet on one?

死ぬも生きるも紙壱重

Whether I live or die, it's just a piece of paper

御釈迦が蜘蛛の糸垂らす

Buddha drops a spider's thread

遅くはないわ　御出なさい

No, it's not too late—come out now

地獄の聲が耳を打つ

Hell's voice echoes in my ears

踏み外すのも惡くない

Going off the rails isn’t so bad

あゝ真っ盛りや此ノ宴

Ah, this party is in full swing

今宵、今宵は帰日曜

Tonight, tonight’s the night to go home

宴も酣　あかよろし

The party’s in full joy, cheers!

堕ちるとこまで堕ちなはれ

Fall as far as you can go

アアイヤイヤイヤ

Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

廻レ廻レヤ　展ケ展ケイヤ

Spin around, spread out, yeah!

アアイヤイヤイヤ

Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

廻レ廻レヤ　展ケイヤ

Spin around, spread out, yeah!

アアイヤイヤイヤ

Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

廻レ廻レヤ　展ケ展ケイヤ

Spin around, spread out, yeah, yeah!

アアイヤイヤイヤ

Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

廻レ廻レヤ　展ケイヤ

Spin around, spread out, yeah, yeah!

あゝかっぴらけや其御口

Ah, open wide your mouth

宴、宴が始月曜

The feast, the feast begins on Monday

勿体無ぇや　一度切り

Such a waste, just once in a lifetime

好きなもの丈　食べなはれ

Eat all the things you love

堕ちるとこまで堕ちなはれ

Fall as far as you can go
