Squid / いか English Lyrics Translation


ENGLISH


Squid

Your skin is very white
It's fascinating
You shine beneath the sun
No one else can compare

What is this feeling?
I know this feeling
You swim
And push through the waves

Your legs are very long
It's fascinating
You came out to dance on the sand
You don't let anyone near

It's that feeling again
Oh, but this feeling
Your white complexion
Is sizzling

When your hair
Sways in the wind
I want to touch it
But when I reach out my hand, you speedily run away

Whenever I kiss you
I think that I'll stick to you

Squid, squid! Squid, squid!
Squid, squid! Squid, squid!

Oh, it turns out you were a squid…
Now all I can see is squid…

This is that feeling
A very nostalgic feeling
You'll know it when you know it
You'll get addicted to it

Your bikini
A white square
Squid, squid! Squid, squid!
Squid, squid! Squid, squid!

Your scent
Squid, squid! Squid, squid!
Squid, squid! Squid, squid!

You're a
Squid, squid! Squid, squid!
Squid, squid! Squid, squid!

You
Squid, squid! Squid, squid!
Squid, squid! Squid, squid!

If you fry a squid's tentacles they're delicious
They go very well with beer
There are no bones so you can eat the whole thing
I want to eat more

JAPANESE


いか

君の肌はとても白くて
見惚れてしまうぜ
太陽の下で輝いているね
誰も敵わない

この感じなんだろう
知ってるこの感じ
波をかき分けて
泳ぐ姿

君の足はとても長くて
見惚れてしまうぜ
砂の上で踊りだしたね
誰も寄せ付けない

この感じあれだろう
あっ、でもこの感じ
白い素肌をチリチリ
焦がす君は

君の髪が
風に揺れると
触れてみたくなる 
僕の指に絡まるようでスルリとにげてく

君の唇キスをするたび
吸い付くみたいで

いか、いか!いか、いか!
いか、いか!いか、いか!

いかだったんだ...
もういかにしか見えない...

この感じそうだろう
懐かしいこの感じ
知れば知るほど
やみつきになる

君のビキニ
白い三角
いか、いか!いか、いか!
いか、いか!いか、いか!

君の香り
いか、いか!いか、いか!
いか、いか!いか、いか!

君は
いか、いか!いか、いか!
いか、いか!いか、いか!

いか、いか!いか、いか!
いか、いか!いか、いか!

いかの足は焼くと美味くて
ビールによく合う
骨がなくて全部食べれる
もっと食べたいな

OPINION

This is the hidden track from BUMP's album Planetarium. Wow, the synthesizer sound is so cheezy! I can't say I agree with the last stanza, since I don't eat meat, but it's kind of amusing how the speaker doesn't realize the squid is an attractive lady at the beach until halfway through the song. You can listen to it at the link below. I think BUMP's members all really love to eat… They have hidden tracks about vegetables, mochi, and other foods… I'll get to those soon!
