KANA-BOON / ないものねだり "asking for too much" English translation + romaji

旋律は耳に残るままで訳してみた

いつだってワガママばっかで　子供みたいね
君だってないものねだり　何が欲しいの？教えて

itsudatte wagamama bakka de kodomo mitai ne
kimi datte naimono nedari nani ga hoshii no? oshiete

you've* always been nothing but selfish, haven't you? just like a child
and as for you, you ask for too much, what do you want? tell me


あっち見たりそっちを見たり　美人が好きなのね
君だってさっきのカフェの店員さんがタイプでしょ？答えて

acchi mitari socchi wo mitari bijin ga suki na no ne
kimi datte sakki no kafe no ten'in san ga taipu desho? kotaete

you look this and that way, you like beautiful girls, huh?
and as for you, the waiter from that cafe a while ago might be more your type, right? answer me


ゆらゆらゆらゆら僕の心　風に吹かれて
ゆらゆらゆらゆら君の心　はなればなれ
ゆらゆらゆらゆら二人の恋は宙に舞っていく
ゆらゆらゆらゆら綿毛みたいに揺れてる

yurayura yurayura boku no kokoro kaze ni fukarete
yurayura yurayura kimi no kokoro, hanare banare
yurayura yurayura futari no koi wa chuu ni matteiku
yurayura yurayura watage mitai ni yureteru

swaying slowly, my swaying heart, blown by the wind
swaying slowly, your swaying heart, scattered
swaying, swaying, our love goes to dance up in space
swaying, swaying, swaying like downy fluff


さっきから聞いてないでしょ　私の話。
ねぇねぇ　聞いてよ　そこのドーナツ屋来週オープンだって
あーあ、二人で行こうと思ってたのに
あーあ、連れてってやろうと思ってたのになぁ

sakki kara kiitenai desho watashi no hanashi
nee nee kiite yo soko no doonatsu ya raishuu oopun da tte
aa, futari de ikou to omotteta no ni
aa, tsuretette yarou to omotteta no ni naa

ever since a while ago, you haven't listened to what I say.
hey, hey, listen, it says that donut shop over there will open next week
aah, I thought we'd go together, just us two...
aah, and I thought I'd take you out somewhere...**


ゆらゆらゆらゆら僕の心　雨に降られて
ゆらゆらゆらゆら君の心　はなればなれ
ゆらゆらゆらゆら二人の恋は宙に舞っていく
ゆらゆらゆらゆらタバコみたいに燃えてく

yurayura yurayura boku no kokoro ame ni furarete
yurayura yurayura kimi no kokoro, hanare banare
yurayura yurayura futari no koi wa chuu ni matteiku
yurayura yurayura tabako mitai ni moeteku

swaying slowly, my swaying heart, being rained on
swaying slowly, your swaying heart, scattered
swaying, swaying, our love goes to dance up in space
swaying, swaying, burning up like tobacco



ゆらゆらゆらゆら僕の心　過去に囚われ
ゆらゆらゆらゆら君の心　未来に消えて
ゆらゆらゆらゆら僕の心
ゆらゆらゆらゆら君の心

yurayura yurayura boku no kokoro, kako ni toraware
yurayura yurayura kimi no kokoro, mirai ni kiete
yurayura yurayura boku no kokoro
yurayura yurayura kimi no kokoro

swaying slowly, my swaying heart, captive to the past
swaying slowly, your swaying heart, vanishing into the future
swaying slowly, my swaying heart
swaying slowly, your swaying heart


ゆらゆらゆらゆら僕の心　風に吹かれて
ゆらゆらゆらゆら君の心　高く舞って

yurayura yurayura boku no kokoro kaze ni fukarete
yurayura yurayura kimi no kokoro takaku matte

swaying slowly, my swaying heart, blown by the wind
swaying slowly, your swaying heart dances high up


ゆらゆらゆらゆら僕の心と
ゆらゆらゆらゆら君の心と

yurayura yurayura boku no kokoro to
yurayura yurayura kimi no kokoro to

swaying slowly, my swaying heart and
swaying slowly, your swaying heart with***



* the lyrics don't explicitly say "you" or refer to a "you" in this sentence, so I'm just making an assumption.

** のに is a tricky thing to translate because it means different things depending on the context, but in this case it's used to express wistfulness. Like, for example 「晴れて良かったのに」 "it's so sunny out, and yet... (I can't go outside)" or "despite it being so nice out... (I can't go outside and enjoy it)". The speaker does not mention actually wanting to go outside, but uses のに to express their feelings.

*** could also be translated as "and" but "with" is also a possible translation. I think と used in this sense is for listing things.
