いい事ありそう － フラワーカンパニーズ

Hello everyone!

Here I come with another post that is connected to j-dramas only by fact that it's about Japanese language. While I was looking for things to do other than studying, cleaning the house or writing my graduation thesis, I came across this one band's music. The band's name is フラワーカンパニーズ, so I guess it's Flower Company's in English. But who ever knows what did one katakana word came from...

I totally love the song called ｢お元気ですか」, but now I want to analize lyrics of a song called 「いい事ありそう」.

Let's start with the lyrics! まず、歌詞です。

今さっき階段で
嫌なババアに出会った
会釈をしてやったら
プッと無視をしてくれた
このやろう　クソババア
心で呟いて
男らしく
笑顔で別れた

今日は何かいい事ありそうな気がするする
今日は何かいい事ありそうな気がする

今さっき公園で
マサ子さんに振られた
しつこく追いかけたら
思い切り殴られた
このやろう　クソ女
心で呟いて
男らしく
笑顔で泣いてた

今さっき電話で
こんなこと聞かされた
親友のトオルくん
刺されてあの世行き
このやろう　極悪人
心で呟いて
男らしく
笑顔で悲しんだ

今さっきのニュースじゃ
戦争だと大騒ぎ
若者は連れ出され
敵を殺せと言われた
このやろう　バカ総理
心で呟いて
男らしく
笑顔で殺した

今さっき爆弾で
地球が吹っ飛んだ
全てが吹き飛ばされ
星屑に消えてゆく
このやろう　誰のせいだ
心で呟いて
男らしく
笑顔でさよなら

Here's the song:

I won't interpret the lyrics, everyone should do it by themselves. Everyone sees that it's a cynical song, and that's why I like it. The things they wanted to convey are quite clear too. I want to concentrate on 言葉.

Or should I translate the whole song? If you want me to translate the whole thing, send me a message. For now I will list the words that are more difficult or interesting in some way.

 ババア
Very unpolite word for an older woman. A hag. Or even more rude. Let's avoid dirty words on this blog. At least dirty words in English.

会釈
Means greeting. Greeting like a nod or a bow (in Japan). Read it: えしゃく.

呟く
つぶやく. To murrmur, to mutter. Because of course Japanese wouldn't say the things they think about in a loud voice. Let's keep it for ourselves, they seem to think.

極悪人
Scoundrel. Translating literally: extremelly bad person. Haha, scoundrel sounds better somehow.

吹っ飛ぶ
To blow off. Especially in a explosion. Like a bomb. Japan and bombs. You understand, right?

星屑
ほしくず. Stardust. It's what is left when Earth explodes. Stardust.


Well then. That's it for today. Thank you for reading.
女らしく笑顔で

またね～
