lyircs translation. 'kantan na koto' by THE ORAL CIGARETTES

I didn't really become their fan or something, they were just another band to entertain me for a couple of days, but I was surprised when behind the catchy melody I heard profound lyrics like these. What never stops amazing me is how the Japanese manage to put so many layers in such a short period of time as 5 minutes that one song lasts. The same actually goes for their ads on TV etc., but music is just one very impressing example.

どーだい?あちらこちらに生まれた
単細胞人間の起こした
壮大な人類破滅への1歩
未だに気づけてないが
どーだい?まずは偉そうに
救出宣言してみようかしら?
どーだい?どーだい?どーだい?どーだい?どーだい?
「うざったい。」

右手あげるなら その手に責任が宿ると思え
両手あげるなら うつむいて絶対服従覚悟はあるか?
どーだい?これが死ぬ前に命を乞う人間の姿か?
どーだい?どーだい?どーだい?一体どうなっちゃったんだ?

あぁ、そんな簡単に言うな
失う事に未練をたらして
あぁ、そんな簡単に言うな
今目の前は自殺の志願者
あぁ、そんな簡単に言うな
あれもこれもってとっ散らかして
あぁ、そんな簡単に言うな
アアアアアア

どーだい?自分以外の人間
ボタン1つで消せたらなって
容態は今どうですか?
あんまりよろしく見えませんが
そーか!まずは偉そうに
見てみぬフリしたあいつを呪うか
どーだい?どーだい?どーだい?
一体どうなってしまった

あぁ、そんな簡単に言うな
周りに気づかれないようにして
あぁ、そんな簡単に言うな
頭上2メーター輪っかを前に
あぁ、そんな簡単に言うな
いてもたっても居られなくなって
あぁ、そんな簡単に言うな
そんな簡単に言うな

そう今もまた 感じるのまだ
光が少し見えてきたって
目をつぶって思いだすのは
一人もいない
一人もないからさ

死にたい消えたい変わりたい帰りたい
泣きたいうざったい助けて助けて助けて助けて

あぁ、そんな簡単に言うな
失う事に未練をたらして
あぁ、そんな簡単に言うな
今目の前は自殺の志願者
あぁ、そんな簡単に言うな
あれもこれもってとっ散らかして
あぁ、そんな簡単に言うな
そんな簡単に言うな

あぁ、そんな簡単に言うな
タッタラタッタッタラッタ
あぁ、そんな簡単に言うな
もしもまた生まれ変われるとして
あぁ、そんな簡単に言うな
知らない足りないどうでもいいや
あぁ、そんな簡単に言うな
そんな簡単に言うな

translation

Whaddaya think of it? The single-minded people
Born here and there
Have made their first steps to the destruction of humanity
Though they haven’t realized it yet
Whaddaya think of it? For a start, we could
Declare a plan for rescue, as if we’re superior
Whaddaya think of it? What? What? What? What?
‘Annoying’

When you raise your right hand, remember that there dwells the responsibility
When you raise your both hands, do you have the resolve to cast your eyes down and be completely obedient?
Whaddaya think of it? Is this a man pleading for his life at the verge of death?
Whaddaya think of it? What? What? What do you think will happen next?

Hey, don’t say it so lightly!
You have regrets for what you lose
Hey, don’t say it so lightly!
Before my eyes there is a candidate for suicide
Hey, don’t say it so lightly!
You scatter things around, wanting this and that
Hey, don’t say it so lightly!
Aaaa!

Whaddaya think of it? Like if you could
Erase someone by just pressing one button?
How do you feel yourself?
You just don’t look like you are well to me
I see! For a start we could
Curse him, who pretended he did not see anything, as if we’re superior
Whaddaya think of it? What? What?
What on earth has happened?

Hey, don’t say it so lightly!
Take care so that others won’t notice
Hey, don’t say it so lightly!
When you face someone with a halo soaring 2 meters up his head
Hey, don’t say it so lightly!
You start to feel uneasy
Hey, don’t say it so lightly!
Don’t say it lightly, I say!

Yes, what I feel again now is
Just that I can see a bit of some light
I close my eyes and remember it because
There is no one
There is no one around me

I want to die, I want to disappear, I want to change, I want to go back
I want to cry, it’s annoying, help me, help me, help me, help!

Hey, don’t say it so lightly!
You have regrets for what you lose
Hey, don’t say it so lightly!
Before my eyes there is a candidate for suicide
Hey, don’t say it so lightly!
You scatter things around, wanting this and that
Hey, don’t say it so lightly!
Don’t say it lightly, I say!

Hey, don’t say it so lightly!
Tatara-tatatarata
Hey, don’t say it so lightly!
If you had a chance to be reborn
Hey, don’t say it so lightly!
I don’t know, it’s not enough, I don’t care
Hey, don’t say it so lightly!
Don’t say it lightly, I say!
