the telephones - D.E.N.W.A (english translation)

I always misheard the line "Disco disco bakka itteru kedo" as "Disco disco bakka in the ghetto". Don't know if I should be relieved or disappointed that I was wrong...



D.E.N.W.A*

Music and Lyrics: Akira Ishige

I said DISCO, urban DISCO** (I am DISCO)
I sang about love and DISCO, love and DISCO (LOVE & DISCO)

When the four of us get together it’s party time
Can you hear the devil calling from the dance floor?
Once you experience it, you’re immediately brought to a world of gilded splendor
It doesn’t matter whether you’re from the East or West

D.E.N.W.A

Yaa yaa yaa yaa yaa yaa
Bururururu tuttuttuttu haaaaa
(telephones time!!!)

Yaa yaa yaa yaa yaa yaa
Bururururu tuttuttuttu haaaaa
(one more time!!!)

We danced like monkeys to the monkey disco (new disco!)
We danced like idiots to the ABC disco (yay!)

I’m only saying “disco, disco”, but I’m always just a music lover***
Break out of your boring everyday routine
And be a sniper like Golgo****

D.E.N.W.A

Yaa yaa yaa yaa yaa yaa
Bururururu tuttuttuttu haaaaa
(telephones time!!!)

Yaa yaa yaa yaa yaa yaa
Bururururu tuttuttuttu haaaaa
(one more time!!!)

We are fuxxxkin’ DISCO!!!

D.E.N.W.A

Yaa yaa yaa yaa yaa yaa
Bururururu tuttuttuttu haaaaa
(telephones time!!!)

Yaa yaa yaa yaa yaa yaa
Bururururu tuttuttuttu haaaaa
(one more time!!!)

Notes:
*denwa = “telephone” in Japanese
**Ishige has worked in a bunch of their past song titles into the lyrics (Urban Disco, Love&DISCO, etc)
***I think he means that he likes music other than disco
****The character from Golgo 13 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golgo_13)

D.E.N.W.A

Watashi wa DISUKO to itta AABAN DISUKO (I AM DISCO)
