¥Ellow Bucks • From “Wataru”
8UP Lyrics Translation (from “Wataru”)
Yvng Patra starts a line that says, ‘I finished the whole bento, but I’m still starving.’ The lyricist translates this to Japanese, ‘全部の弁当を食べても、まだ飢えている.’ He then uses that image to push a performer toward relentless hustle.
Kuikitta bento dakedo mada hara ga hettaI finished the whole bento, but I’m still starving.
Ima teeburu narubete ku afureru hodo no cheddarNow I’m lining up the table, overflowing with ‘cheddar’.
Harapan de guutara shiteru renjuu see you laterTo the guys lazing around with full bellies, see you later.
Konna toko de manzoku suru nante arie nee naThere’s no way I’d be satisfied with a level like this.

Machikutabireta yo kannou shita ze sameta bentoI got tired of waiting, I’m done with that cold bento box.

Ore wa shitteru ze nokorimon ni fuku nante neen daI know the truth: there’s absolutely no luck in the leftovers.
Kuiowareba tsugi ni matte iru no wa dezaatoOnce I finish eating, dessert is waiting for me next.
Amai mitsu wa itsu demo sou kiken no araatoThat sweet honey is always a dangerous alert.
