Please don't say "You are lazy"
datte hontou wa Crazy
hakuchoutachi wa sou
mienai toko de BATAashi suru n desu
honnou ni juujun chuujitsu honrou mo juujuu shouchi
zentoyouyou dashi...
dakara tama ni kyuukei shichau n desu

Please don't say "You are lazy"
Because seriosuly, we are crazy
When even the graceful swan
Thrashes its legs about underwater^[1]
We're truly following our instincts, open to criticism anytime
We got a bright future anyway
That's why we need to take a break sometimes

kono me de shikkari misadamete
yukisaki chizujou MAAKU shite
chikamichi areba sore ga oudou
hashoreru tsubasa mo areba joutou

Judge the course carefully with your very own eyes
And mark your destinations on the map
Where there's a shortcut (take it), that's a given
Got wings to take you there? That's better

YABA tsume wareta GURUU de hoshuu shita
sore dake de nanka tasseikan
daiji na no wa jibun kawaigaru koto
jibun wo aisanakya hito mo aisenai

"Oh crap, I broke my nail!" and you fix it with glue
And just that can make you feel so accomplished
You need to take good care of yourself, that's important
You can't love others if you don't love yourself first

Please don't say "You are lazy"
datte hontou wa Crazy
nou aru taka wa sou
mienai toko ni PIKKU kakusu n desu
souzou ni isshoukenmei genjitsu wa zettaizetsumei
hattentochuu dashi...
dakara fui ni PICCHI hazureru n desu

Please don't say "You are lazy"
Because seriosuly, we are crazy
When even the wise eagle
Hides away and peeks at corners^[2]
Imagination is everything because reality is doomed
We're not the finished article yet
That's why we inadvertently sing off-pitch (sometimes)

sono me ni utsuranai dake datte
yaruki wa MEETAA furikitte
itsudemo zenryoku de yumemite
sono bun zenryoku de nemutte

The fact that (what you want) isn't in front of your eyes
Can break your motivation limits
So when you go dream a lot, with all your might
You're also sleeping, with all your might

YARI choi yaseta choushi'zuite kutta
sore dake de nande? haibokukan
sukasazu ni mokuhyou kahoushuusei shite
juunan ni rinkiouhen shichihenge ga kachi

"Alright! I got a bit thinner" but in victory, you ate
And just that can make you feel so defeated
You need to lower your expectations quickly
Be flexible with your aims, those who adapt will win

Please don't say "You are lazy"
datte hontou wa Crazy
kujakutachi wa sou
koko zo to iu toki bi wo miseru n desu
gozouroppu manshin maishin ganbou wa soushin reijin
yuuwaku tahatsu dashi...
dakara yake ni ishi kudakechau n desu

Please don't say "You are lazy"
Because seriosuly, we are crazy
When even the charming peacock
Shows its beauty when it feels the time is now
We work on every single cell inside our bodies, wanting to be slim, pretty women
We get wooed all the time too
That's why we get badly distracted (sometimes)

YABA masaka REDDO POINTO!? iya GIRI KURIA!
sore dake de nante zennoukan
daiji na no wa jibun mitometeku koto
jibun wo yurusanakya hito mo yurusenai

"Uh oh, is that a red mark? Wait no, I barely made it!"
And just that can make you feel so smart
You need to keep being proud of what you can do, that's important
You can't accept others if you don't accept yourself first

Please don't say "You are lazy"
datte hontou wa Crazy
hakuchoutachi wa sou
mienai toko de BATAashi suru n desu
honnou ni juujun chuujitsu honrou mo juujuu shouchi
zentoyouyou dashi...
dakara tama ni kyuukei shichau n desu

Please don't say "You are lazy"
Because seriosuly, we are crazy
When even the graceful swan
Thrashes its legs about underwater^[1]
We're truly following our instincts, open to criticism anytime
We got a bright future anyway
That's why we need to take a break sometimes
