Applause~Become a Flower~ / 喝采~花になれ~ English Lyrics Translation


ENGLISH


Applause~Become a Flower~

(Masu:) Slap your butt with all your might
And then, right away
Please caress me gently
Become a flower
That everyone loves
Become a flower
That everyone loves

(Naoi:) Dip your entire body
In oil
And then
Just like that, wipe it off
(Masu, Naoi, Hiroaki:) Become a flower
That everyone can excavate
Become a flower
That everyone can excavate

(Fujiwara:) Become a flower

(Masu:) Laugh and forgive your friend's mistake
(Naoi:) And then cry in your room
(Masu:) Wipe your
Quietly oozing nose
Wipe your
Quietly oozing nose

(Fujiwara:) Wipe your nose
Become a nose

(Hiroaki:) Ikonuppu
Yomei
Sanmushinshi
Norumundaa
Ikonuppu
Chirugunumuu
Hold me tight tonight
Ikonuppu
Kahhaan
Become a flower
Ikonuppu
Kahhaan
Become a flower

(Fujiwara:) Become a flower

(Hiroaki:) Clap your hands---

(Masu, Naoi, Hiroaki:) Clap your hands
Applause
Curtain call
At that time
Where
Were you?
Become a flower
That everyone loves
Become a flower
That you can't see

(Masu:) Become a flower
That you can't see

JAPANESE


喝采~花になれ~

力一杯お尻たたけ
そしたらすぐに
なでてくれ
皆が惚れる
花になれ
皆が惚れる
花になれ

体全体
油で濡らせ
そしたら
これで拭いてくれ
皆が掘れる
花になれ
皆が掘れる
花になれ

花になれ

友の失態笑って許せ
その後部屋で泣いてやれ
静かにたれる
鼻をかめ

イコヌップ
ヨメイ
ノルムンダー
イコヌップ
チルグヌムウ
Hold me tight tonight
イコヌップ
カッハーン
ハナニナレ
イコヌップ
カッハーン
ハナニナレ

拍手
喝采
カーテンコール
その時
あなた
どこにいた
みんながほれる
花になり

あなたが見ない
花になり

あなたが見ない
花になり

OPINION

This song starts off sounding like it's going to be soooooo serious, and the guitar and Fujiwara's vocals are amazing!! The contents of the actual song, though… While not serious, are awesome!! There are a lot of puns. For example, in Japanese, "fall in love" sounds like "excavate," and "flower" sounds like "nose."  And then Hiroaki's gibberish part… I don't even know haha. I researched it on some forums, but no one seems to know if it has any meaning to anyone who isn't Hiroaki. :P I got the lyrics from the description of the video link below, where you can listen to the song. :D This song is the hidden track from BUMP's album アルエ (R.A.) Enjoy!!!
