[English]

Like a merry-go-round, shining and sparkling

The scenery I thought I knew

Seems like a different world, look, you

Even these strawberries you love so much

Just like on a conveyor belt

My daily life is being carried away

Searching for high protein and low fat

I arrived at the usual automatic doors

Someone said that sweets are poison

Something about insulin, this and that

Suddenly, your face came to mind

Could poison ever create a face like that?

For some reason, it suddenly appeared

An unknown fruit, I've never seen it before

A mirror ball, a flash sale—did this exist?

Could it be a secret shortcut?

Like a merry-go-round, shining and sparkling

The scenery I thought I knew

Seems like a different world, look

Even these strawberries you love so much

I never had any interest in them before

The strength of their sweet scent and those perky green stems

Are making my heart dance

The flyer for the fireworks I looked at with a cold gaze

I wonder what words you would use to describe it

The crowds, the worst, the noisy congestion

Surely there's something important beyond all that

Among the chicken breast, scallops, and broccoli sprouts

Is that really? Casually

The monologue I heard the other day

The new Mochi Shake

Like a merry-go-round, shining and sparkling

The scenery I thought I knew

Seems like a multiverse, look

Even these strawberries you love so much

I never had any interest in them before

Picturing your happy face

My past is filled with things I'm encountering for the first time

The shopping cart coaster is racing along

The dancing flying fish and the singing carrots too

Guided by the carpet of gum, now I'm heading to you

Like a merry-go-round, shining and sparkling

The scenery I thought I knew

Seems like a different world, look

Even these strawberries you love so much

I never had any interest in them before

The strength of their sweet scent and those perky green stems

Are making my heart dance

[Japanese]

メリーゴーランドみたい キラキラ光って

知ってたはずの景色が

まるで別世界 ほら 貴方が

大好きなこのイチゴなんて

まるでベルトコンベアのように

運ばれていく僕の日常

高タンパク低脂質求めて

辿り着いたいつもの自動ドア

甘い物は毒だと誰かが

インスリンがなんとか、かんとか

ふと貴方の顔が浮かんだ

毒にあんな顔創れるものか

何故か突然現れた

未知のフルーツ見たこともない

ミラーボール タイムセール こんなのあった

まさか秘密の抜け道

メリーゴーランドみたい キラキラ光って

知ってたはずの景色が

まるで別世界ほら

貴方が大好きなこのイチゴなんて

全然興味もそう 無かったのに

甘い香りの強さや 元気なヘタだって

僕の心踊らせるんだ

冷めた目で見てた花火のチラシ

貴方ならどんな言葉にするだろう

人混み最悪うるさい混雑

以外の大切な何かをきっと

ササミ ホタテ ブロッコリースプラウトの

中にかなり？さりげなく

この前の聴こえる独り言

新発売のお餅シェイク

メリーゴーランドみたい キラキラ光って

知ってたはずの景色が

まるでマルチバースほら

貴方が大好きなこのイチゴなんて

全然興味もそう 無かったのに

喜ぶ顔を浮かべて

初めて出会う物で過去はいっぱいなんだ

カートのコースターは走ってくよ

踊るトビウオも歌うニンジンも

ガムの絨毯に導かれ 今君の元へ

メリーゴーランドみたい キラキラ光って

知ってたはずの景色が

まるで別世界ほら

貴方が大好きなこのイチゴなんて

全然興味もそう 無かったのに

甘い香りの強さや 元気なヘタだって

僕の心踊らせるんだ
