Stupid dog’s tablet Japanese Lyrics English Translation
TOOBOE writes about a city buzzing with tension. The songwriter describes blonde hair fluttering in the wind. The line ‘A ‘gunshot’ cried out in the dead of night’ hits hard, waking you up.
Marui tsuki sousasenA spotlight moon scanning the night,
Densen no karamaru matenrouover skyscrapers tangled in power lines
Burondo no kami nabikaseLetting your blonde hair flutter in the wind,
Miorosarete taberareteyou’re looking down and devouring me
Shosen ame ga futtemo kienaiAfter all, the stains you’re hiding
Yogore wo anata wa kakushiteruwon’t wash away even if it rains
Ryoushiki buchikowashitaYou’ve smashed all sense of decency,
Viinasu niyaniya waratteruand Venus is just grinning there
Zenaku sura tsuujinaiEven good and evil don’t apply anymore,
Manmaru no ookina hitomi dewith those big, perfectly round eyes
Taben furumatta kyouki no akuma ga odoruA talkative demon of madness is dancing,
Kitto akiru mare odoru darouand they’ll surely dance ’til they’re bored
Akaku tokekonda jouzaiA pill dissolved into a pool of red,
Ketsueki no you na suppaisour just like the taste of blood
Nioi ga mata juuman shiteita naThat scent was filling up the air again,
Ai ni hozasarete ochiteikuand I’m bound by love as I’m falling down
Tada soredemo kokoro wa uwatsuiteruBut even so, my heart’s still flighty,
Shoudouteki de sukoshi hototta anata ga kirei deyou’re so beautiful, impulsive and a little flushed
