Ootani Ikue - Neko no KIMOCHI Lyrics

moshimo neko ga o-hanashi dekitara,
saisho ni nante
iu no ka na
sakana no HONE wa
kata - su - gi - masu

I wonder what
would they say first?
Fish bones
are way too tough!

shippo no nagasa hoka to kuraberu no
yamete kudasai
kizutsuku no

to other cats'
It hurts my feelings, you know.

anata no tame ni
mi dzukuroi shite
ke dzukuroi shite
dakara sakasama ni
naderu no yamete

keep our bodies in shape
and our fur in place.
So, please stop
brushing us the wrong way.

yasashii hito yori mo
mono shizuka na hito ga SUKI
kihon-teki ni KENJITSU na
seikaku nan desu

we like people who are peaceful.
That's the kind of basically steady
personalities we have.

futarikiri de
madoromu gogo
fuyu no hi sashinagaku nobite
kono mama konna fuu ni
shinu made soba ni
iraretara ii no ni

dozing together in the afternoon...
The winter light stretching out long...
If only we could stay
close like this
for the rest of our lives...

[Instrumental]

ichido de ii kara kikitakatta no yo
ano "katsubushi" wa
doko de tsukamaeru no?

where do you catch
that "bonito?"

anata no tame ni
NEZUMI totte (KEMUSHI totte)
TONBO totte (KAERU to ka)
dakara iya sou ni
suteru no yamete

catch mice, (catch caterpillars)
catch dragonflies, (and frogs and such)
so, please stop throwing them out
as if they were disgusting.

kurai yoru michi datte
annai shimasho dokodemo
kihon-teki ni sewasuki no
seikaku nan desu

we can lead you anywhere.
That's the kind of basically caring
personalities we have.

yume wo mita no
anata wa shiroi
yuukan na
OSUNEKO ni natte
watashi wo mukae ni kuru
hayaku MAHOU ga
toketara ii no ni

you became
a brave
white boy-cat
coming out to meet me.
But, the magic
dissolved right away.

futarikiri de
madoromu gogo
fuyu no hi sashinagaku nobite
kono mama konna fuu ni
shinu made soba ni (anata no soba ni)
iraretara ii no ni

dozing together in the afternoon...
The winter light stretching out long...
If only we could stay
close like this (close to you)
for the rest of our lives.
