In the pale light of a rain shower
From the beloved faces of the winter daphnes
Buds of tears overflow as
One by one, their fragrance emerges

And that, that, crosses the skies
Soon, soon, they’ll come for me

Spring, far-off spring, as I close my eyes, right there
You, who has given me love, I hear your nostalgic voice

My heart, which I’ve entrusted to you
Is still waiting for your answer
No matter how much time passes
Always, always, I will wait

And that, that, crosses tomorrow
Someday, someday, it’ll definitely reach you

Spring, as-yet-unseen spring, whenever I feel lost and stop
You, who has given me dreams, your gaze embraces me

Dreams, superficial dreams, I am here
Thinking of you, I walk alone
Like the falling rain, like the falling petals

Spring, far-off spring, as I close my eyes, right there
You, who has given me love, I hear your nostalgic voice

Spring, as-yet-unseen spring, whenever I feel lost and stop
You, who has given me dreams, your gaze embraces me

Lalala…..

Standing in front of Mama’s mirror
Has such an extraordinary appeal
That even a childish girl like me
Can become whatever I wanted to be in my dreams

Believing in things I can’t see with my eyes, someday, I stopped doing that
Believing only in things I can see with my eyes, have I become an adult?

Mama used to say this to me
“Because you are beautiful,
A prince will come and wake you up
With a kiss someday”

Loving the person I am, when did I last do that?
Coming to hate the person I am, have I become an adult?

That thing which they call love
Just where can I find it?
What does it look like?
How much do I need to pay?
Hey, where did you buy it?

Lalala…..

*Note: In the very last line (Hey, where did you buy it?), ayu uses the word “anata” or “you”, though the corresponding kanji she used is “貴女”, a term used specifically when the person being spoken to is a woman.

Party queen! Party queen!

Party queen! Party queen!
Party queen! Party queen!

Saturday night☆
Just a little earlier than usual, “kanpai”
The tension quickly escalates

Just like magic, rosy colors before my eyes
I want to be fascinated with these gold bubbles here

It’s ok to let it get to your head
Let go and let it get to your head
This is the centre of the world, and I’m the princess

The world is sparkling with light, let only convenient things
And fun things come into my sight

I am the party queen! I am the party queen!

We need a drink☆
Friends gather and “kanpai”
And we continue with nothing but that till morning

All you people here
And all you people over there
It’s as if everyone’s already friends and family

The world is spinning round and round, who are you again?
I don’t even know who I am anymore

It doesn’t matter if the world is up or down, left or right
As long as we wish for it, we can go anywhere

I am the party queen! I am the party queen!
I am the party queen! I am the party queen!

Tomorrow’s hangover and retrospection, just forget them now
“If that’s too difficult for you, I won’t drink with you again”

The world is sparkling with light, let only convenient things
And fun things come into my sight

The world is spinning round and round, and we keep on repeating
No matter how many painful experiences come, we will never be defeated

I am the party queen! I am the party queen!
I am the party queen! I am the party queen!

*The kanji ayu uses for the word family in verse 2 is “兄妹”, which specifically means “big bro and little sis”.

Papa, holding his popcorn in one hand
Is with his buddy, the TV remote, again today
Seeing him, Mama, as usual
Shows a melancholy face, a wrinkle between her brows

Watching them, I pretend not to notice

Yes, my best friends are
Diamonds and roses
Is there anything more valuable?
Mama didn’t teach me about that

Papa is a little different today
Holding nachos in one hand, he watches TV

Again, Mama shows a sullen face

Yes, so again, I’ll remain silent today
Say 「Eyes, Smoke, Magic」

Watching them, I pretend not to notice

Again, Mama shows a sullen face

How are you? Is life
Still difficult for you now?

People you can truly talk to
Do you have such friends now?

Today, I passed by that place
And there, I thought I heard the voices
Of us that night

So straight, so straight, always misunderstood
Nobody really understands you
But you try, you try
It’s ok even if you’re uncool
I like you just that way

Just maybe, happiness
Exists only in tiny amounts

That is really bitter and painful
We may often feel that way

But just for that tiny bit
Of warm happiness
Our noses dripping with snot
We grovel on the ground

So lonely, so lonely, drinking the night away
Reflecting, but right after that
You have fun, have fun
And drink a little too much
I like you just that way

So straight, so straight, always misunderstood
Nobody really understands you
But you try, you try
It’s ok even if you’re uncool

So lonely, so lonely, drinking the night away
Reflecting, but right after that
You have fun, have fun
And drink a little too much
I like you just that way

I like you just that way
