This song is rather like a tape of French folk songs I have, more so in the downward progressions. Also like a 50s song, think. It has nice energy; cheerful, with some spring in its sound/rhythm. Apparently the song was featured in the Japanese intro to by the artist Yumi Arai.
The lyrics take away from it rather, if you're not one for love songs highlighting pettiness and cohabitation. Of course, the lyrics could always be interpreted to not be so as they are...
Lyrics (Japanese and English alternately):
Ano hito no Mama ni au tame ni
Ima hitori Rensha ni notta no
Tasogare semaru machinami ya Kuruma no nagare
Yokome de oi koshite
In order to meet my boyfriend's Mama,
Now alone, I rode the train,
As twilight draws in across the street, to this flow of cars,
I give a sideways glance as I overtake.
Ano hito wa Mou kizuku koro yo
Basu ruumu ni Ruuju no dengon
Uwakina koi o hayaku akiramenai kagiri
Uchi ni wa kaeranai
He should have noticed about now,
The message in rouge in the bathroom,
If you don't up your fickle loving soon,
Then I wont come home.
Fuanna kimochi o nokoshita mama
Machi wa 'ding-dong' toozakatte yuku wa
Asu no asa mama kara denwa de
Shikatte morau wa, my darling!
Because my feelings of anxiety remain,
I'll leave this town's Ding-Dong and go far away,
Tomorrow morning, you'll get a phone call from your Mama's
And you'll receive a scolding my darling!
Ano hito wa awateterukoroyo
Basu ruumu ni Ruuju no dengon
Teatari shidai tomodachi ni tazuneru kashira
Watashi no yuku saki o
When he's confusing over,
The message in rouge in the bathroom,
I wonder whether he'll ask whichever friends he can,
Where have I gone?
Fuanna kimochi o nokoshita mama
Machi wa 'ding-dong' toozakatte yuku wa
Asu no asa mama kara denwa de
Shikatte morau wa, my darling!
Shikatte morau wa, my darling!
Because my feelings of anxiety remain,
I'll leave this town's Ding-Dong and go far away,
Tomorrow morning, you'll get a phone call from your Mama's
And you'll receive a scolding my darling!
And you'll receive a scolding my darling!
My little darling, my little darling
My little darling, my little darling
My little darling, my little darling
My little darling, my little darling
