そんなこんな言う間に日が落ちて スチャラカどこ行く帰り道
Before I knew it, the sun set, where’s my silly self headed home?
恋は水色 鳴く蛙 豆腐のラッパ 声が遠く
Love is a light blue, croaking frogs, a tofu trumpet, voices fading away.
さんざ待たせておいてそりゃないわ スチャラカほら吹き猫野郎
After making me wait so long, that's just not fair, you braggart cat!
あたし何処にも行かないの あなたは知っておいて知らん顔
I'm not going anywhere, you know it, but you pretend not to.
たんとご賞味くださいな 猫も杓子もラリパッパ
Please enjoy it thoroughly, everyone and their cat gets tipsy.
ああ もう嫌になっちゃうわ
Ah, I’m so fed up with this!
どんな言葉をあてがっても やはりあなたにゃ似合いません
No matter what words I throw at it, they just don't suit you.
ああ どうしたらいいの 教えてよ
Ah, what should I do? Please tell me.

Drunk and merry, both male and female, shaking their behinds and dancing.
目眩くらくら曼荼羅の空見てぼったくり露天に放火して
Dizzy and spinning, I gaze at the mandala sky, setting fire to a swindler's stand.
上等 ゲラゲラ笑いの止まらぬ明日になあれ！
Bring on a tomorrow filled with unstoppable laughter!
つまり1、2の3の4で手を叩き
In other words, let's clap our hands, one, two, three, four!
こんなしょうもない日々にバイバイバイ
Goodbye, goodbye to these boring days.
きっといつかはピカピカ花道
Surely someday we'll see a sparkling flower path.
そんじゃまた明日ねバイバイバイ
Well then, see you again tomorrow, goodbye, goodbye!
じっとできなくなりあなたは言う「ここで花火を打ち上げよう」
You can't stay still, and you say, 'Let's set off fireworks here!'
やけど塗れの左手に ボロ絹みたいなブリキのバケツ
With a left hand burned, a tin bucket like shabby silk.
そんなもんで話も碌々なし 夜のあばら屋突き上げて
Talking about trivial things, while shaking the ramshackle night house.
尾根の彼方に目を据えて 間抜けに口をぽかんとして
Gazing beyond the ridge, with a silly gaping mouth.
たんとご覧にあそばせて 猫も杓子もラリパッパ
Take a good look at this, everyone’s in a daze!
ああ もう嫌になっちゃうわ
Ah, I'm just so fed up with it all
どうであなたは見てもしない こんな睫毛に意味などない
No matter how you look at it, there's no meaning in these lashes
ああ どうしようもないのね 馬鹿みたい
Oh, there's nothing I can do, isn't it silly?
酩酊上々 白黒構わず踵鳴らして踊る
Drunkenness rising, dancing without a care, heels clicking in black and white
身なりチャラチャラ痛みの足りないバンカラの鼠を退治して
Dressing flashy, I’ll deal with the reckless mice that lack pain
上等 ゲラゲラ笑いの止まらぬ明日になあれ！
Bring on tomorrow where laughter never stops!
ここで生まれちゃ宵越しの金要らず
Born here, no need for money to last the night
どんな子も構わず寄っといで
Come on over, no matter what kind of kid you are
そぞろ歩いてどうしようもないときは
When wandering about feels aimless and despairing
何も構わんままに寄っといで
Come closer, without a care in the world
緑青の匂い 夕日が沈む
The scent of verdigris, as the sunset sinks low
あの日の香り あなたは遠い
The fragrance of that day, you seem so far away
酩酊上々 雄雌違わずお尻を振って踊る
In a drunken swirl, we dance, shaking our hips, man and woman alike
目眩くらくら曼荼羅の空見てぼったくり露天に放火して
Dizzy and dazed, I gaze at the mandala skies, setting fire to a shameless stall
上等 ゲラゲラ笑いの止まらぬ明日になあれ！
Good times ahead, may tomorrow be filled with endless laughter!
つまり1、2の3の4で手を叩き
So let's clap our hands, one, two, three, and four
こんなしょうもない日々にバイバイバイ
Saying goodbye to these pointless days, bye-bye-bye
きっといつかはピカピカ花道
Surely one day, a sparkling flower path will appear
そんじゃまた明日ねバイバイバイ
Well then, see you again tomorrow, bye-bye-bye
バイバイバイバイバイバイバイ
Bye-bye-bye-bye-bye-bye-bye
