MO'SOME TONEBENDER - We Are Lucky Friends (romaji/translation)

Recommended Posts

Again, I really love this band and I've never seen anyone translate their lyrics, so I decided to give it a shot. I've done a bunch of their songs (shoddily) on my blog over the past few years, but this one is easily the best, so I thought I'd share it here as well.

 

 

We Are Lucky Friends 

 

Lyrics: Kazuhiro Momo

Music: Isamu Fujita

 

That guy is just a liar

He says he put a band together in America,

But no one knows about it

Right now he’s singing a senseless song in bullshit English,

But we’re friends for now*

 

That girl is always depressed, and she usually calls in the middle of the night

Sometimes laughing, sometimes crying, without gratitude, she just says “Goodbye”

She does things like suddenly coming to return a CD she borrowed from me five years ago

But we’re friends for now

 

This time, I’m going to tell you clearly

I’ll say “You guys are such freaks”

Then again, I guess the punchline of the joke is that you’d probably say those exact words right back to me, wouldn’t you?

 

That guy is quite psychedelic

He says he’s meditating and makes his room dark

But he’s probably just sleeping

Still, we’ll always be friends

This guy is also really ambiguous

He says the world is going to collapse

And he collects weirdly-shaped rocks

But we’ll always be friends

 

This time, I’m going to tell you clearly

I’ll say “You guys are such freaks”

Then again, I guess the punchline of the joke is that you’d probably say those exact words right back to me, wouldn’t you?

 

Tomorrow, I’ll escape on the rocket I made

Taking my manga, my guitar and my cat, Carrot

And I’ll take all kinds of other stuff

Should I take you guys along too?

Let’s go search for planets

Let’s save mankind from its crisis

And let’s go down in history

We are lucky friends

 

*Or maybe something like “But so far we’re still friends”?
