Translation of the song 青い靴 artist Miyoko Yoshimoto
青い靴
Blue Shoes
Dancing Dancing踊らせて 心のボリュームひねって
Dancing, Dancing. Turning up my heart’s volume and dancing.
Dancing Dancing柔らかなリズムに身体をひねって
Dancing, Dancing. Turning my body to the gentle rhythm.
(一人なの?)かまわないでよ
(You alone?) Quit bothering me.
(振られたの?)余計なお世話
(Were you dumped?) None of your business.
あなたは別の誰かと
Seems you’re treading a different step
違うステップ踏むのね
With some other girl.
あの娘なら誰にでも誘われて踊るタイプ
She’s the type who’d let anyone dance with her if they asked.
Dancing Dancing青い靴 かかとのベルトが切れそう
Dancing, Dancing. In my blue shoes, the belt on my heel is gonna come off.
Dancing Dancing真っ白なドレスが素肌にはりつく
Dancing, Dancing. In my pure white dress, sticking to my skin.
(可愛いね)私の何処が?
(You’re cute.) What about me is cute?
(つきあえよ)ほっといてよね
(Let’s go out.) Get lost, please.
言い寄る男たちなら
As many men approach me
星の数ほどいるのに
As there are stars in the sky,
何故あんな人にだけまなざしがさすらうのよ
But why does my gaze keep wandering towards him?
一人きりじゃ踊れないわ
No one can dance alone.
Dancing Dancing踊らせて 心のボリュームひねって
Dancing, Dancing. Turning up my heart’s volume and dancing.
Dancing Dancing柔らかなリズムに身体をひねって
Dancing, Dancing. Turning my body to the gentle rhythm.
(一人なの?)そうねたぶんね
(You alone?) Yeah, looks like it.
(振られたの?)ううん振ったの
(Were you dumped?) No, I dumped someone.
ハンサムな子の背中に
I’ll dance with my arms around
両手まわして踊るわ
The back of some handsome boy.
肩ごしに目があえば嫉妬してくれるかしら
Over his shoulder, if our eyes meet, would you be jealous?
そしてわざと目をそらすの
Then I would purposely avert my gaze.
Dancing Dancing青い靴 かかとのベルトが切れそう
Dancing, Dancing. In my blue shoes, the belt on my heel is gonna come off.
Dancing Dancing真っ白なドレスが素肌にはりつく
Dancing, Dancing. In my pure white dress, sticking to my skin.
電気仕掛の人形みたい
Like a battery powered doll,
音が止んだらもう動けない
When the music stops, I can’t move anymore.
Dancing Dancing踊らせて 心のボリュームひねって
Dancing, Dancing. Turning up my heart’s volume and dancing.
Dancing Dancing柔らかなリズムに身体をひねって
Dancing, Dancing. Turning my body to the gentle rhythm.
I Can't Play, I Can't Dance
I can’t play, I can’t dance.
Dancing Dancing青い靴 かかとのベルトが切れそう
Dancing, Dancing. In my blue shoes, the heel’s belt is gonna come off.
Dancing Dancing真っ白なドレスが素肌にはりつく
Dancing, Dancing. In my pure white dress, sticking to my skin.
I Can't Play, I Can't Dance
I can’t play, I can’t dance.
