[Translation] Watashi no Okite - Chicken Baskets Lyrics
So I am completely in love with this song, even before I watched the drama. But it's amazing; it's catchy, the dance is easy to remember, it's sung by Shori and so many Juniors I like, it's got crossdressing! I seriously listen to it at least once a day, and I love dancing to it, it's so much fun! So I decided I had to translate it. Enjoy!
私のオキテ - チキンバスケッツ/Sato Shori+Johnny’s Jr.
時間かけて手にしたパンならば
Jikan kakete te ni shita pan naraba
If it took time to get the bread
ハムスターのようにチュチュッ食べたいの
Hamusutaa no you ni chuchu tabetai no
I want to nibble on it like a hamster
ニキビひとつでブルーに染まるから
Nikibi hitotsu de buru ni somaru kara
I get depressed at a single pimple
優しさしか受け付けられないわ
Yasashisa shika uketsuke rarenai wa
So I’ll only only tolerate kindness
さんざん笑いかけて
Sanzan waraikakete
When I smile harshly
そんなんじゃないなんて
Son nan janai nante
I don’t mean it like that
バカにするのもたいがいにしてよね
Baka ni suru no mo taigai ni shite yo ne
Take making fun of you as a normal thing, okay?
一度にたくさん言われても
Ichido ni takusan iwaretemo
If I tell you too much at once
頭になんか入らない
Atama ni nanka hairanai
It won’t get into your head
シンプルに一つだけ
Shinpuru ni hitotsu dake
So I’ll tell you one simple thing
愛だけを叫べよ
Ai dake wo sakebe yo
Just yell out your love (for me)
ブスって言ったら殺すから
Busutte ittara korosu kara
If you call me ugly I’ll kill you
目力だけは負けない
Mejikara dake wa makenai
I won’t lose in the power of my eyes*
私のオキテに背いたら
Watashi no Okite ni somuitara
If you turn your back on my laws
オカワリはあげない
Okawari wa agenai
I won’t give you seconds
彼女のバギーはマクラーレン
Kanojo no bagii wa makuraaren
That woman's buggy is a McLaren**
ママ友のなかでもいかしてるわ
Mama tomo no naka demo ikashiteru wa
Even amongst the Mama group it’s stylish
どうやらヨガにも通っていて
Douyara yoga ni mo kayotte ite
It seems like she’s also doing yoga
子供産んだとは思えない
Kodomo unda to wa omoenai
You wouldn’t think she’s given birth
それでも浮気されて
Soredemo uwaki sarete
Even so she was cheated on
離婚の危機にあるなんてさ
Rikon no kiki ni aru nante sa
That she’s in danger of getting divorced
男と女のそれが不条理ってもんよね
Otoko to onna no sore ga fujouri tte mon yo ne
Is an illogical thing for a man and woman, isn’t it?
アッパラパラーに生きましょう
Appara paraa ni ikimashou
Let’s live loosely
一寸先は闇だから
Issunsaki wa yami dakara
Because no one knows what the future holds
人の不幸が蜜なんて
Hito no fukou ga mitsu nante
If people’s unhappiness is your honey
人間をやめなよ
Ningen wo yame na yo
Quit being a human
お姫様ダッコしてちょうだい
Ohime sama dakko shite choudai
Carry me like a princess
おやすみのキスもしてちょうだい
Oyasumi no kisu mo shite choudai
And give me a goodnight’s kiss
私のオキテに従えば
Watashi no Okite ni shitagaeba
If you obey my laws
オカワリは自由よ
Okawari wa jiyuu yo
You're free to have seconds
一度にたくさん言われても
Ichido ni takusan iwaretemo
If I tell you too much at once
頭になんか入らない
Atama ni nanka hairanai
It won’t get into your head
シンプルに一つだけ
Shinpuru ni hitotsu dake
So I’ll tell you one simple thing
愛だけを叫べよ
Ai dake wo sakebe yo
Just yell out your love (for me)
ブスって言ったら殺すから
Busutte ittara korosu kara
If you call me ugly I’ll kill you
目力だけは負けない
Mejikara dake wa makenai
I won’t lose in the power of my eyes*
私のオキテに背いたら
Watashi no Okite ni somuitara
If you turn your back on my laws
オカワリはあげない
Okawari wa agenai
I won’t give you seconds
*Mechikara: to convey something strongly with their eyes (emotions etc.)
** McLaren is an expensive car brand
Also, apparently the Kansai Jr. are doing this song in their Christmas Show, dressed in Bubble Era outfits! I can't wait to see them next week when I go to Japan. Koji-kun seems like he'd suit it so much!
