¹ The word "ちょめちょちょめ" is a slang term that encompasses the feeling of a censor bleep, something like "blankety-blank", bleep, or literally just ＊＊＊, which I've used for the translation.

² やっちゃえ is often used as a command to "Do it!", but can also be an order to maim or kill. Either way, it's a crude and aggressive phrase. I chose to use "finish it" since it has a similar double meaning in English.

³ The original kanji used here, 愛, means "love", but Nekomanma uses it as a homophone for the English "I".

⁴ The phrase used here is "楽園" meaning paradise/Eden. I've chosen to go with the latter for reasons I explain in a subsequent footnote.

⁵ A more literal translation of this phrase is, "I wanna attract a thrilling anxiousness, yeah." However, though したい (shitai) in hiragana usually indicates someone's want to do something, it can also be read as "dead body" (死体)— and because this song on a surface level implies there is at least one body is hitting the floor, I chose to interpret it more as the latter.

⁶ The kanji here (落園) means "fall/drop" and "park/garden" respectively. Due to the other religious motifs in this song, I've translated this line as a reference to Adam and Eve's exile from the Garden of Eden.

⁷ 飼い鳥 is really a term for domesticated bird, likely to refer to the singer's feeling of being a trained pet who knows nothing but to be a pet, but for the sake of syllabic parallel I chose to use 'canary' (a common pet bird) instead.

“You were born in illegitimacy.”

I wonder where that place is? I would love to go see.

For Mom and Dad

I kept searching

And so all alone I kept walking.

-

Won't somebody please tell me where

Oh, please tell me where

I can leave this sadness behind?

Won't somebody please tell me where

Oh, please tell me where

There's some kindness for me to find?

Somebody, please tell me!

-

Aaa, I'm setting off on a journey!

Aaa, My rocking horse and me!

But it's still not enough,

Still not enough!

All the love, all the dreams

Aren't enough!

Look at how it rocks around and around, the merry-go-round...!

-

“You were born in illegitimacy.”

Before long, that word's meaning had become clear to me.

“You're so selfish.”

“You're such a brat.”

Those words clung onto me like a tag.

-

Won't somebody please tell me where

Oh, please tell me where

I can leave this hatred behind?

Won't somebody please tell me where

Oh, please tell me where

There's happiness for me to find?

Somebody, please tell me!

-

Aaa, I'm setting off on a journey!

Aaa, holding the net tightly!

But it's still not enough,

Still not enough!

Even these fantasies

Aren't enough!

Look at how it runs around and around, the merry-go-round...!

-

Won't somebody please tell me who

Oh, please tell me who

Will hear me whispering good night?

Won't somebody please tell me who

Oh, please tell me who

I have to leave and bid goodbye?

Somebody, please tell me!

-

Aaa, I'm getting lost inside a dream!

Aaa, My rocking horse and me!

I want to be happy!

Be satisfied!

I want to be someone

Who doesn't want!

Look at how it rocks around, oh, please stop, my merry-go-round...!

-

Aaaah...

-

If someone were to look down from up high,

They would see a dimming star falling from the sky.

I hope you'll find

Someone to love

And be loved back just as much by them.
