Lyrics

a, chotto tanoshii
hana ga saku temae mitai
a, chotto kurushii
mizu wo wasureta sakana mitai

rubaato kizanderu watashi no kodou maachi mitai
mero ga poppu janai kara sukoshi dasai kedo

watashi wasureyou to shiteiru wa
kanashii uta wo aishiteiru no
akiru kurai ni mawashiteita no sono rekoodo
aki no nai mono wo zutto sagashiteita wa
ohisama to no da kaapo kurai
tanoshii! tanoshii! tanoshii! tanoshii! tanoshii!

a, chotto kanashii
tsuki wo mikaketa yaken mitai
atto odoroku hodo ni marui
sukoshi kajittara dame kai

daremo ga waratteru sonna ni kore wa poppu kai?
chigau, omae no zureta sensu wo baka ni shiten no sa

watashi wasureyou to shiteiru wa
tanoshii uta mo aishiteiru no
osoushiki no iei ni shimashou kono rekoodo
ate no nai tabi wo zutto tsuzuketeita wa
kamisama to no bibaache kurai
tanoshii! tanoshii! tanoshii! tanoshii! tanoshii!

anata mo waratteru?
a, mero ga poppu janai kara sukoshi tomeru kedo

watashi wasureyou to shiteiru wa
baka nari ni demo aishiteita no
odoru mitai ni odotteita no!
...?
aki no nai mono wo zutto sagashiteita wa
ohisama to no da kaapo kurai
tanoshii! tanoshii! tanoshii! tanoshii!

watashi wasureyou to shiteiru wa
hitotsu nokorazu aishiteita no ni
itsu no ma ni ka wasurete iku no ano rekoodo
aki no nai mono wo zutto sagashiteita wa
ohisama to no da kaapo kurai
tanoshii tanoshii tanoshii tanoshii tanoshii...

English Translation

Ah, it’s a little fun
like a flower ready to bloom.
Ah, it’s a little painful
like a fish that’s forgotten water.

My heartbeat in tempo rubato sounds like a march,
but melody’s not pop, so it’s a little crappy.

I guess I’m trying to forget.
I’m in love with sad songs.
I used to spin it almost too much—that record.
I’ve been looking for something that never gets old.
Just like playing “da capo” with the sun,
it’s fun!

Ah, it’s a little sad
like a wild dog eying the moon.
It looks amazingly round.
I wonder if I could take a bite.

Everyone is laughing. Is this song so pop? 
No, they’re just making fun of your offbeat taste.

I guess I’m trying to forget.
I love happy songs too.
Let’s use it as a funeral portrait—this record.
I’ve been on my aimless journey for so long.
Just like playing “vivace” with God,
it’s fun!

Are you laughing too?
Ah, melody’s not pop, so let me pause for a moment.

I guess I’m trying to forget.
I’m a fool, but I loved in my own way.
I meant to dance like dancing!
...?
I’ve been looking for something that never gets old.
Just like playing “da capo” with the sun,
it’s fun!

I guess I’m trying to forget.
I loved every last one of them,
but somehow it slips from my memory—that record.
I’ve been looking for something that never gets old.
Just like playing “da capo” with the sun,
it’s fun.
