MO'SOME TONEBENDER - We Are Lucky Friends (english translation)

This is one of the better ones I've done. It's pretty clear.



We Are Lucky Friends 

Lyrics: Kazuhiro Momo
Music: Isamu Fujita

That guy is just a liar
He says he put a band together in America,
But no one knows about it
Right now he’s singing a senseless song in bullshit English,
But we’re friends for now*

That girl is always depressed, and she usually calls in the middle of the night
Sometimes laughing, sometimes crying, without gratitude, she just says “Goodbye”
She does things like suddenly coming to return a CD she borrowed from me five years ago
But we’re friends for now

This time, I’m going to tell you clearly
I’ll say “You guys are such freaks”
Then again, I guess the punchline of the joke is that you’d probably say those exact words right back to me, wouldn’t you?

That guy is quite psychedelic
He says he’s meditating and makes his room dark
But he’s probably just sleeping
Still, we’ll always be friends
This guy is also really ambiguous
He says the world is going to collapse
And he collects weirdly-shaped rocks
But we’ll always be friends

This time, I’m going to tell you clearly
I’ll say “You guys are such freaks”
Then again, I guess the punchline of the joke is that you’d probably say those exact words right back to me, wouldn’t you?

Tomorrow, I’ll escape on the rocket I made**
Taking my manga, my guitar and my cat, Carrot
And I’ll take all kinds of other stuff
Should I take you guys along too?
Let’s go search for planets
Let’s save mankind from its crisis
And let’s go down in history
We are lucky friends

Notes:
*Or maybe something like “But so far we’re still friends”?
**Kanji lyrics say “kinou” (yesterday), but Momo says “ashita” (tomorrow) in the song

We Are Lucky Friends
