I feel like there’s a lot of exclamation points in this song… but it needs them! It’s such a positive and cheerful song!

非公式の英訳/Unofficial translation

While eating breakfast, I check out the news on page 3.
“The Latest Trend: Not Sleeping Makes you Appealing?!”
With my eyes closed, I doze off again.
Today’s another day. Ready UP, ready DOWN.
Tension… break out!

The sun shines in the sky, and I shut out my drowsiness.
Early rising is… yeah! It’s a superstition that invites happiness.
I’m not a lion, I’m a tiger
so banish and death won’t work on me!
Work and responsibilities… they’re even tough for a god!

I always maintain a refined character with a resolute attitude
but really, I think “I wanna sleep!” “I wanna rest!” “I wanna play!”
MORE, MORE! “I wanna sit down!” “I wanna go home!”
I can’t take a holiday!

I wrap up a positive mood in luck.
I’ll give a pessimist like you a present of happiness!
I’ll shove all those lies and all that fake happiness
into a tiger’s hole. Look, I planned to hide it!
I’ll camouflage my bed hair by styling it all curly!
Hey you, walking down the road with a negative face—
Look ahead! Are you lacking happiness?

When I’m hungry, I don’t push myself. It’s lunch time!
I want sweet things! I don’t know if I’ve got an upper limit.
They say sleeping children grow, but I dunno if it’s upwards or outwards!
Keeping fit is even tough for a god!

I’m always lazy, with a calm smile,
But in my heart I think “I wanna sleep!” “I wanna rest!” “I wanna play!”
And, like… “I wanna sit down!” “I wanna go home!”
I can’t let it show!

Even if you’ve made minus-level blunders,
You’ve just gotta be strong, just like a rat in a pinch!
I soundlessly lurk among my shelves of sweets.
They’re a secret—Look, I must have hidden them
but if I’m seen by everyone, I’ll lose face!

You might get depressed sometimes,
But words + love always equals infinity!
You, moping around, and all you people who are crying—
Let’s get together
and form a big circle!

Make happiness grow and grow! Blow away all that sorrow!
When it counts I’ll put Bishamonten’s divine protection into action.
Throw away your flimsy, paper-mache dreams!
This is important:
Plus… minus… happiness!
Do you have enough of the ‘alpha’ of happiness? Not enough? Are you overflowing with it?
Happy life. Good luck. My little dream.
