Mikako Komatsu - NEKO no Uta Lyrics

I put up my tail and stretch my neck.
I'll show you my tummy, so let's roll over and sleep.
This is a home, this is my home,
Because I feel at ease more here than anywhere else in the world.

I jump up with a boing, and turn around with a twist.
Playing tag is my specialty.
If my bell rings with a jingle,
Then you are, see, mine!

Now! With a single breath, I make a big scream
And run like the wind.
Can you catch me?
Right at your side as you are puzzled,
I quietly laugh mischievously.

I perk my whiskers and prepare my nose.
I'll open my eyes wide, so let's take a look.
Who are you? Where did you come from?
I ask this because I feel at ease more with you than anyone else in the world.

Once you're inboard, I dance with a twirl.
I'm super good at hide-and-seek.
If you put a bell on my white neck,
Then I am, see, yours.

Yah! With a single step, I jump up high,
And cut through the crowd like water.
Will you find me?
I am right behind you as you look for me,
And I secretly grin and laugh.

If I am able to protect you,
Who found me as I cried
In that dark room all alone,
Even if it's a fake, even if it's an illusion, I don't mind.

Meow! With that single voice, I cry loudly.
I stretch out my body like a cat.
Is it impossible for it just to be you and me?
I look at you distantly as you disappear,
And as I make a cry, I scream for you.
