我がままなハイヒール
These selfish high heels
気ままな方よ私
I'm a carefree soul
女心はきっと
A woman's heart is surely
秋の空より magical
More magical than autumn skies
気にするのやめなさい
Stop worrying about it
噂もなんでもない
Rumors mean nothing at all
危ない夜
A dangerous night
私にかかればきっと paradise
With me, it'll surely be paradise
街を歩いていても
Even while walking through the city
みんな私に fall in love
Everyone falls in love with me
ちょっと winkをすれば
Just a little wink will do
こわいもの何にもない
Nothing scares me at all
からかってただけなのに
I was just teasing you, you know
本気であわてないでね
So don’t panic, it’s just a game
眠ってた街のあかり
The lights of the sleepy town
今に輝き出す
Will soon start to shine
いつでも恋をしたいの ねぇ darling!
I always want to fall in love, hey darling!
向う見ずで我がままだわ 誰か早く
Imprudent and so selfish, someone hurry up
つかまえて私を
Catch me if you can
気まぐれなハイヒール
Whimsical high heels
気が強いのよ私
I have a strong spirit, you know.
ただのゲームにしても
Even if it’s just a game,
負けるのが嫌いなのよ
I hate losing, you see.
その気なら勝負していい
If you’re feeling it, go ahead and challenge me.
何賭けるつもり？
What do you plan to wager?
ただのcardも
Even a simple card,
私にかかればみんなjoker
In my hands, they all become jokers.
いつでも恋をしたいの ねぇ darling!
I always want to fall in love, hey darling!
ときめいてはじけてるわ 誰か早く
My heart is racing, bursting with excitement, someone hurry up,
しかけてよ私に
Make your move on me.
