unrequited love hurts but,

For some reason a girl’s heart is bold!

He smiled at some other girl!

I can’t be bummed about it,
eagerly cooking barbecue

The summer sea is romantic!
for some reason it makes a girl’s heart swell

The summer sea is like a faery tale!
for some reason sometimes it’s cruel.

Translated By: Brian Stewart and Sakuma Takako

Translator’s Notes: Well it’s decided Takko and I are going to hell for translating this. The cuteness factor is off the charts folks, we’re in uncharted territory. What is the something the singer is expecting? That’s easy it’s Chu~! from the boy she likes. She’s expecting her first kiss. *s!

* 1 – We translated shobu! shobu! shobu! as “the battle’s on, it’s on, it’s on” because it sounded best. The point being the girl is trying to impress the boy she likes and win his heart, whether it be by wearing a pretty swimsuit or cooking barbecue.

* 2 – meruhenchikku is a word Japanese use to describe faery tales. Lots of lace, and doilies, pretty dresses, like Cinderalla, or Snow White. This is used to describe everything from boutiques to fashion trends. Don’t ask me how a summer sea can be meruhenchikku. I have no idea. The word is in fact derived from
the German word MÄRCHEN. Thanks to Chuffy for the explaination.
