Genius English Translations
Angela Aki - “Material Girl” (English Translation)
[Verse 1]
Instead of a kiss, instead of a hug, what I want
Is a present dressed in silver chains
If you say that you don’t understand a woman’s feelings
And worry and cry about it, then come and take me

[Chorus]
Shopping, and driving, and to a classy restaurant
And afterward, to an onsen, since we’re at it, the sea too
Take me there
Oh-woah, woah

[Verse 2]
No matter how well we get along
Money is a woman’s best friend
The passway into my heart
Is that dusty money safe of yours

[Chorus]
If you want to be with me, then this much should be a given
Because plenty of gold goes into the fulfillment of love
Take me shopping, and driving, and to a classy restaurant
And afterward, to an onsen, since we’re at it, the sea too
Take me there
Ooh
[Bridge]
Living in a material world, material
Oh, oh, oh
Living in a material world, material-terial
If only experience could be changed into money
I would already be a millionaire

[Chorus]
Everybody’s living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
'Cause we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl

[Outro]
Material
Material
