The Birthday - Masquerade (english translation)

This one is...interesting. I really like the third verse though, for some reason.

マスカレード / Masquerade

Lyrics: Chiba Yusuke
Music: The Birthday

My heart is always flying about
To the point that I don’t know if I understand it or not*
But I can’t make an order at the drive-through going over 100 kilos, can I?**

C’mon lady! Masquerade!
C’mon lady! Masquerade!

The part-time-working girl with the pretty face
The one at the coffee shop on the corner
I ask her if we should go out to play somewhere
Bowling is kind of lame, isn’t it?

C’mon lady! Masquerade!
C’mon lady! Masquerade!

If it’s okay for me to wear my ski mask,
You put on your red wings
Since I’m wearing my blue wings,
Let’s call each other “red” and “blue”

C’mon lady! Masquerade!
C’mon lady! Masquerade!

If I had a heart made of iron,
I wonder if its throbbing would have to disappear?***
Even the people that are left behind somewhere****
Will feel like they’re dancing in heaven

C’mon lady! Masquerade!
C’mon lady! Masquerade!

Notes:
* Not too sure about this.
**Or this
***the feeling of his heart beating rapidly; would he still be able to experience that sort of excited state
****Not 100% on this either

マスカレード / MASUKAREEDO

Itsudatte shinzou tobimawaru
Wake-wakannaku naru kurai
hyaku KIRO OOBAA DORAIBUSURUU OODAA wa dekinai kedo ne

C’MON LADY! MASUKAREEDO! C’MON LADY! MASUKAREEDO!

ARUBAITO no ko no kirei na kao no
kado ni aru KOOHII ya no sa
Sasotte dokka asobi ni yukou
BOORINGU wa chotto iya da ne

C’MON LADY! MASUKAREEDO! C’MON LADY! MASUKAREEDO!

Medashibou o kabuttara OK
Kimi wa akai hane o tsukete
Ore wa aoi hane o tsukeru kara
REDDO to BURUU de yobiaou

C’MON LADY! MASUKAREEDO! C’MON LADY! MASUKAREEDO!

Tetsu de dekita kokoro o mottara
DOKIDOKI wa kiechau no ka na
Dokka ni nokotteru dare datte
Tengoku de odoru kankaku

C’MON LADY! MASUKAREEDO! C’MON LADY! MASUKAREEDO!
