Branco Zappa Lyrics Translation – Fugasi
The poet Hamachi mentions a swaying swing and clouds at his feet, creating a surreal image. One line asks, ‘Are you ‘yes’ or ‘no,’ which is it?’ This question reflects the song’s theme of uncertainty and the struggle to make decisions.
Kesa no makka na yuuhi gaThis morning’s crimson sunset,
Nishi no sora kara noboruRises up from the western sky.
Inu mo arukebaWhen even a dog starts walking,
Baka ni butsukaru machi wo yukuIt wanders through a town where it’s bound to hit a fool.
Migi wo muitara migiLook to the right and there’s the right,
Hidari sashitara hidariPoint to the left and there’s the left.
Esa wo maitaraOnce you scatter the bait,
Baratto muragaruThey swarm all at once,
Waresaki niEach one struggling to be first.

Yureru burankoOn a swaying swing.
Ashimoto ni kumoClouds are right at my feet,
Miageru hito no umi tanoshimeSo enjoy this sea of people looking up.
Kutsu ga nugetaraIf my shoe happens to slip off,
Kono osora wo ageruI’ll give this sky to you.

Botan hitotsu de hasshaLaunch with just the push of a button.

Dekita michi no ouraiComing and going on the road we’ve made.
Migi wo muitara migiLook to the right and there’s the right,
Hidari sashitara hidariPoint to the left and there’s the left.
Urara omote deWith the front and the back,
Korotto tenohira sugu ni kaesuThey flip their stance as quick as a hand’s turn.
