(Nun! Nun!)(Nun! Nun!)
Shika noko tokotoko arawaru nokonokoA deer-girl nonchalantly walks into view.
Tsuno tsuno pyoko pyoko mitame wa onya noko?Her antlers keep popping up, but does she look like a girl?
Chikagoro uwasa no nakanaka kiwamonoShe’s the eccentric one everyone’s been talking about lately.
Otenami ikahodo hena choko?Just how skilled is she, or is she just a little clumsy?
Sugoku mukashi kara Japan ni seisokuThey’ve been living in Japan since ancient times.
Shika senbei nara mugen ni kudasai!If you have deer crackers, please give me an endless supply!
Tonakai wa nakama kamoshika wa ushikaReindeer are part of the crew, and serows belong to the cow family,
Demo demo matomete guuteimokubut, but, all together we’re ‘even-toed ungulates’.
Nun no suteppu de odorouLet’s dance with the ‘nun’ step,
Yoru ga akeru madeall the way ’til dawn.

Abangyarudo de oorai kaosu mashi mashiAvant-garde is fine by me, with an extra helping of chaos.
Itsu no ma ni kuse ni natte nu-nu-nunBefore I knew it, it became a habit, nu-nu-nun.
Hacha de mecha na shikairo deizuThese wild and messy, deer-colored days.

Shika noko shika katan! Odaterya ichikoro?I only stan the deer-girl! Is she a pushover if you flatter her?
Iya iya igaito tsuwamono kamo yoNo, no, she might actually be tougher than she looks.
Yaru koto nasu koto dotapata sawagi deEverything she does turns into a slapstick commotion.
Tsugou ga warukerya terepooto?And when things get inconvenient, does she just teleport?
Youkoso shikabu е atsumare shika tomoWelcome to the Deer Club, gather ’round, my deer friends.
Shika ni naritakerya kewashii michi da zoIf you want to become a deer, it’s a treacherous path.

Shika senbei katate ni hai, poozuWith a deer cracker in one hand, okay, strike a pose.
Nun no koe ga hibiku yoThe sound of ‘nun’ echoes out,
Chikyuu wo koete doko made moreaching far beyond the Earth, endlessly.
Kureijii sore tte hometeru?Crazy? Are you trying to compliment me?
