米津玄師 (Kenshi Yonezu)
Kenshi Yonezu - Loser (English Translation)
[Verse 1]
As always, same street, alone
I’ve had enough of such days
Can't go anywhere anymore, still
Watching dreams, good night
Like this we're always
Tired tired of dimwitted nights
To dance dance again tomorrow
We meet again, goodbye
[Pre-Chorus]
Walked about forever, finally arrived
What’s this here, paradise?
I just don't know anymore
The result of a quarter century is here
A green faced superstar
Waiting with an empty stomach
[Chorus]
I’m a loser
So might as well howl
Once more, once more, raise our voices (Woo!)
I’m a loser
From way before, the one I heard
And eventually hid in my pocket, that voice (Woo!)
[Verse 2]
I don’t fucking care
The sky of good omens has bad weather
See, from a skyscraper window, it looks just like dust
Ian and Curt are the old guard
Showing the finger, whatcha gonna do
Serves as a lesson to get ahead now, cheerful face
[Verse 3]
Idiots watch idiots dance
And us idiots laughing from the sideline
Clinging to a huge ego just leads to abrasion
Wearing you down till there’s only sour grapes
Hugging your knees ain’t helping either
See, you can’t see what’s ahead with your long hair
It’s too funny; you suddenly appear
And poof you’re gone, in this cycle of rebirth
Say it if you wanna be loved
Nobody’ll get it if you just think it
Even the eternal lady turns away
Paradise is somewhere way over there
Yeah, I know, I know
I’m tumbling ever deeper, I’m a beaten dog
It’s just, anywhere is fine, just far away
I wanna go, that’s all
[Pre-Chorus]
Listen carefully, far away, just now
A sound rang out, don’t miss it
Ready your breath
One day you should encounter it
The golden iolite
Catch it then and don’t let go
[Chorus]
I’m a loser
What do you care when the outcome’s nothing anyway
Dawdling about, wasting time, now ash
Goodbye (Woo!)
I’m a loser
Surely someday, you say, as you desire
Go on, beyond that lost time (Woo!)
[Bridge]
(Paa paa parappappappa)
Say it if you wanna be loved
(Paa paa parappappappa)
Nobody’ll get it if you just think it
(Paa paa parappappappa)
Even the eternal lady looks away
(Paa paa parappappappa)
Paradise is somewhere way over there
(Paa paa parappappappa)
Since we’re here, let’s have a dance
(Paa paa parappappappa)
Roll around ‘till dawn
(Paa paa parappappappa)
If you can hear this, raise your voice
(Paa paa parappappappa)
[Chorus]
I’m a loser
So might as well howl
Once more, once more, raise our voices (Woo!)
I’m a loser
From way before, the one I heard
And eventually hid in my pocket, that voice (Woo!)
[Outro]
(Paa paa parappappappa)
Cause we’re here, let’s have a dance
(Paa paa parappappappa)
Roll around ‘till dawn
(Paa paa parappappappa)
If you can hear this, raise your voice
(Paa paa parappappappa)
He-ey he-ey he-ey
