THE STUPID TINY INSECT

Romaji and English translation of the song THE STUPID TINY INSECT from the album BEAUTIFUL DEFORMITY by the GazettE.

Lyrics originally sung in English are in italics , and words or phrases I felt were implied are in [brackets] in the translation.

I also (usually) put repeats of chorus/verses/stanzas in [brackets] if they’re not written that way in the original lyrics for ease of singing along.

If he writes a word in the lyrics but doesn’t sing it, I put it in light grey to make it easier to skip when singing along.

I usually romajize katakana characters in CAPITALS, and keep punctuation and line spacing as close to the original booklet as possible. If you see me putting spaces before punctuation at the end of a sentence or writing things in mixed-case capitals, that’s because it’s how it was in the booklet.

Any comments I had during the romajization/translation process will be included as footnotes so as not to disturb the flow of the song. They’re not required reading, but Ruki does some pretty nifty things with his lyrics/kanji choices, or sometimes there’s further explanations about words or phrases in there.

THE STUPID TINY INSECT: Romaji

Magari nejireta shikou ni ikitsuku no wa
Zugai meippai kobiritsuita dosu guroi tane no sei
Kaeru youna koto ga attemo sashichigaeru shouzon

Down…My head is splitting

Atama guruguru guruguru guruguru guru mawaru
Shoshite barabara barabara mushi wa kunou to kaeru

Ima wa otoroe mo shirazu ni
Mousouteki High ni natte
Kaigoroshita to IKI garu
“Tonde hi ni iru natsu no mushi sanagara”

You don’t know crap
Stupid tiny insect
Ataman naka barashite kujoshiyou ka?
You don’t know crap
Stupid tiny insect
You will bite me
You don’t know crap
Stupid tiny insect
Ataman naka barashite kujoshiyou ka?
You don’t know death
Stupid tiny insect
Itami ni warau KIMI ga kirai

Hello…Deadly tiny monster

Atama guruguru guruguru guruguru guru mawaru
Soshite barabara barabara mushi wa kunou to kaeru

Ima wa otoroe ni kizukezu
Mousouteki High ni natte
Kaigoroshita to IKI garu
“Tonde hi ni iru natsu no mushi sanagara”

Hello…Deadly tiny monster

THE STUPID TINY INSECT: Translation

I always wind up getting twisted into this warped way of thinking
The blame lies with these dark little eggs that have clung to the inside of my head with all their might
If they should happen to hatch, I have every intention of fighting them

Down…My head is splitting

My head is spinning, spinning, spinning around in circles
Finally, [with a] rustling and buzzing, [the eggs] hatch into insects and I’m left in agony

Now, without recognizing my own weakness,
I become High on my own deluded belief
That I outsmarted them, that I managed to kill them off
“Just like summer insects flying into the fire”

You don’t know crap
Stupid tiny insect
You want me to split open my head and exterminate you?
You don’t know crap
Stupid tiny insect
You will bite me
You don’t know crap
Stupid tiny insect
You want me to split open my head and exterminate you?
You don’t know death
Stupid tiny insect
You laugh at my suffering and I hate you

Hello…Deadly tiny monster

My head is spinning, spinning, spinning around in circles
Finally, [with a] rustling and buzzing, [the eggs] hatch into insects and I’m left in agony

Now, not noticing my own weakness
I become High on my own deluded belief
That I outsmarted them, that I managed to kill them off
“Just like summer insects flying into the fire”
