Genius English Translations
Kenshi Yonezu 米津玄師 - Flamingo (English Translation)
[Intro]
Ooh, uh-uh

[Verse 1]
In the darkness of the night, I feel isolated
The rain is lashing onto my sorrow
In the cherry blossom haze (Grra)
The wizened city streets, they have no time for me (Ha-ha)
My nose is dripping, feeling dreary
I'm sneering hopelessly (Uh-huh)

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't even laugh at this cheap and lowly fight
The crimson hair ornament you wear, hated love enemy (Grra)
I wanna' touch the velvet tail of your eye
And that slight cold smile of yours (Uh-huh)

[Chorus]
You're a fla-fla-fla-flamingo, so vivid
You're a fla-fla-fla-flamingo, keep dancing
You're floating away with a smile, never to return
Lеaving only sorrow and jealousy behind
Thanks as always darlin', can you love mе better next time

[Refrain]
Ooh, uh-uh (Ahem)
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah (Okay)
[Verse 2]
Feeling elated, thankful that I caught a glimpse of you
I'm blinded, I'm walking on thin air, and my mind is cloudy (Brra)
Trying to be someone new, singing a tune (Cha-cha-cha)
Saying something flighty, end up looking like a fool (Uh-huh)

[Pre-Chorus]
I just want to hear that voice that I love
So I made some easy money
Stolen after all by bunch of cheap thieves (Grra)
I don't care that it's only you
Shining brightly on this ridiculous stage (Uh-huh)

[Chorus]
It's a fla-fla-fla-flamingo, spine chillin'
It's a fla-fla-fla-flamingo, smile coyly
You're floating away, does this mean goodbye
Are you kidding me? Let's talk about this
Taking back your words, this is so uncool

[Bridge]
(Heh-ye) Beaten by the sleety rain, nose running
My right hand gripping a stupid cat’s toy
(Heh-ye) Can't fool anyone with a toy nowadays
Wandering forever in this love affair
(Heh-ye) Oh King of Hell I appeal to you
Please judge her charms for me
(Heh-ye) A story of a drunk papier-mache doll
Playing this silly game till the day I die
[Chorus]
You're a fla-fla-fla-flamingo, so vivid
You're a fla-fla-fla-flamingo, keep dancing
You're floating away with a smile, never to return
Leaving only sorrow and jealousy behind (La-la-la, la-la-la-la)
Thanks as always darlin', can you love me better next time

[Outro]
Claw flipping flowers cloudy in the darkness
Withered town, spatula (Mmm)
