"PONPONPON" - Kyary Pamyu Pamyu

So this song came out the very middle of July and became a favorite of mine by the end of July. I meant to put the lyrics up earlier in the month but you know how it is. When I translated it earlier I had some questions about some of the lyrics; the general consensus is that they're pretty vague overall so you might have a different interpretation, but here is the feedback I got from the lang-8 community.

Also, I found an interesting blog post about Kyary Pamyu Pamyu and the video, which also has a different translation; check it out at the source: An Eternal Thought in the Mind of Godzilla.

The video is awesome (in any of the various senses of the word).



あの交差点で みんながもしスキップをして
もしあの街の真ん中で手をつないで空を見上げたら
もしもあの街のどこかでチャンスがつかみたいのなら
まだ泣くのには早いよね ただ前に進むしかないわいやいや


PONPON 出して しまえばいいの
ぜんぜん しないの つまらないでしょ
ヘッドフォンかけて リズムに乗せて
WAYWAY空けて あたしの道を


PONPON 進む 色々なこと
どんどん キテる? あなたのキモチ
POIPOI 捨てる悪い子はだれ?
そうそう いいコ ああ
You Make Me Happy


Every Day PON
Every Time is PON
メリーゴーランド のりたいの
Every Day PON
Every Time is PON
たぶん そんなんじゃ ダメでしょ


PONPON 出して しまえばいいの
ぜんぜん しないの つまらないでしょ
ヘッドフォンかけて リズムに乗せて
WAYWAY空けて あたしの道を


PONPONうぇいうぇいうぇい
PONPONうぇいPONうぇいPONPON
うぇいうぇいPONPONPON
うぇいうぇいPONうぇいPONうぇいうぇ
What if everyone skipped in that intersection,
Held hands in the middle of the city and looked up at the sky?
If you want to take your chance somewhere in that city
then it's still too early to cry. There's nothing to do but move forward, oh no, oh no.


PON PON you should let it all out
Doing nothing is boring
Put on your headphones and get into the rhythm
WAY WAY open up a path for me


PON PON all these things, one after another
Are your feelings driving you crazy?
Who's the brat that POI POI throws them out?
That's right, sweetie, ah ah
You make me happy.


Every day is PON
Every time is PON
I want to ride the merry-go-round!
Every day is PON
Every time is PON
But you can't keep that up for long


PON PON you should let it all out
Doing nothing is boring
Put on your headphones and get into the rhythm
WAY WAY open up a path for me


PON PON WAY WAY WAY
PON PON WAY PON WAY PON PON
WAY WAY PON PON PON
WAY WAY PON WAY PON WAY WAY
