Remember this show?? I sure do :3

This is something I've been working on for... around three months.
The first opening of Osomatsu-san is DEFINITELY my favorite. Like... the others are great, but this one just feels so fresh and has so much going for it! Not the least of which being how deceptively deep the lyrics manage to be while still staying so sing-songy and catchy. So, I decided to attempt making my own English lyrics for it that try to strike that balance!

Enjoy~~~ (Lyrics below!!)

LYRICS:
Fluttering, fluttering through trial after trial,
No time to waste, pick up the pace, a lifeless chore!
The sun will follow as they cry out their denial,
Their whispers silenced now forevermore.

What a tragedy, the flames are creeping higher;
As painful as the loaded gun in those sad eyes, bang!
“This new gimmick, does it tickle your desire?"
This hot-shot needs to shut their trap and learn how to behave!

Here and now is where and when the world starts turning,
The flowers ringing sweetly, the horizon’s colors burn away.
So entrancing, heartbeat dancing, la-la lovely~
Just be as good as all kids should, then you can go and play!

Selling flowers blooming, blooming, unassuming,
Helpless ‘gainst the windy and rainy days.
Endless fears of wasting all these precious years...

Suffering, suffering through blessing after blessing,
Try giving in, let ignorance be your guide!
Are these the qualities that grownups were addressing?
The wisdom to keep demons locked outside.

How disheartening, can’t take this any longer;
As weary as the dynamite in that sweet mouth, boom!
“This new gimmick, does it seem a little stronger?”
This wise guy needs to get in line and learn to read the room!

Here and now is where and how the war starts raging,
A battlecry of wishes for a life of pride and lazy days.
Here and there and everywhere, it’s la-la lovely~
Just be as good as all kids should, then you can have your praise!

Little Yakko with her pretty little smile,
She freezes when she hears her name.
Not at home on Earth but visiting a while,
She’s stunning all the same!

Try to keep her here with hugs and desperation,
And, yet, she wants to pull away.
Yes, it might be best to end this operation,

But,
There’s no turning back? No,
She’s about to crack? Oh,
It’s a never-ending time attack!!

With the finest and the purest la-la,
Give listen to the gimmick that is humankind’s one final rite:
Years and years of insincere and stupid nada
And then you’re done, hope you had fun,
You’re welcome and good night!

An all-out, lifelong moratorium,
Today is the tomorrow we were dreaming of come yesterday.
No more time or will to fight, okay, let’s try it!
If we act good as all kids should, then life will go our way!

La-la lovely,
lovey-dovey la-dee-da-dee~
Can’t be beaten by windy and rainy days!
Won’t you stay and waste these precious years away?

Yeeeeeah...
