fuwafuwa*pocapoca

Vocals: yana
Lyrics: 深水チエ (chie fukami)
Arranged by: Shibayan
Album: TRATRA -Extra Track-
Circle: ShibayanRecords
Published by: SYNC.ART’S
Event: Tora Matsuri 2010
Original theme: The Tiger-Patterned Bishamonten [虎柄の毘沙門天]

Requested by: Mekouchii

As can be expected from Shibayan’s bossa nova tracks, the lyrics this time are completely and utterly adorable. Shou’s searching for something, but what is she searching for? Either way, though it may not look like it on the surface, Shibayan’s put these lyrics together with precision and care – that stanza in the middle with the repeated ‘shi’ (し) is effective on so many different levels! Sadly, though I did my best, the delicacy doesn’t quite come through in English…

(Though I left the title as it is since it’s written like that in the lyrics booklet, it translates to something like ‘Light and Fluffy*Nice and Warm‘)


歌詞

ねえ、ちょっとこちらに来てほしいのだけど
いいえ、大したことではないのだけど
ねえ、待って! すぐに終わる用事だから
……あのね、お願いがあるのです

それはすべすべ柔らかい
ふわふわまんまるい
失くした訳ではないのだけど
つまりええと、つまり、ほら

説明したくても上手に言えないの
あまいにおいがしているの
食べてなどいません、そもそも食べれません
……仔猫になんてあげません

たしかにふわふわで、まるまるしてるけど
それは食べ物じゃないですか
だからね、本当に、説明しづらくて
呆れた顔をしないでね

ねえ、おつかいは後でも構わないし
あの、ちょっとお願いを聞いてほしいの
ねえ、お気に入りのお菓子をあげますし
すこし、おつきあいしてほしいのですが

ねえ、忙しいのもわかっていますし
ねえ、見つからないと落ちつかないし
ねえ、すこし目を離していただけだし
聞いて、その、手伝ってお願い……

いつもならすぐ見つかるの
大事なものだし
でも今日、天気が悪いでしょう
つまりええと、だから、ほら、……

それはぽかぽか温かい
さわさわうたうの
宝石箱には入らなくて
だからええと、つまり、ほら

机の上なんて何度も見ましたよ
見落としなんてありません!
たしかにぽかぽかで、さわさわうたうけど
それは生き物じゃないですか

たしかにこの部屋に置いといたはずなの
嘘などつくわけないでしょう
だからね、本当にこの部屋に置いたの
勘違いとか言わないで

Translation

Hey, I want you to come over here for just a moment.
No, it’s not a big deal or anything, but…
Hey, wait! It’s a task you’ll finish soon,
so… um, I have a request for you…

It’s something silky-smooth and soft,
fluffy and perfectly round…
It’s not that I lost it, but…
In other words, um, in other words… look!

I want to explain it to you, but I can’t say it very well.
It gives off a sweet smell!
But you don’t eat it – to start with, you can’t eat it.
…And you wouldn’t give it to a kitten, either.

It’s definitely light and fluffy, and though it’s round…
Isn’t that a kind of food?
That’s why – really, it’s hard to explain.
Don’t make a shocked face!

Hey, it’s no problem if you leave this errand till later, too.
Um, I want you to listen to my request…
Hey, I’ll give you your favourite sweets, too.
I just… want to speak with you a bit…

Hey, I know that you’re really busy, but
hey, if I don’t find it, I won’t settle down.
Hey, I just gazed away from it for a little bit, too.
Listen, um, please help me out here…

Every time, I find it again really quickly.
It’s important to me, too.
But today, the weather’s bad, isn’t it?
In other words, um, because, look…!

It’s nice and warm,
and it sings eloquently.
You can’t put it in a jewellery box,
so, um, in other words, look!

I saw it countless times on top of my desk.
I haven’t overlooked it or anything like that!
It’s certainly nice and warm, and it sings eloquently.
Isn’t that a living thing, though?

I definitely left it behind in this room!
I’m not lying, you know.
That’s why – really, I left it here in this room!
Don’t say I made a wrong guess, or anything like that…
