迷々 (Meimei)

==Lyrics ==
Japanese 	Romaji 	English
メリーさん、君に恋した 	merii-san, kimi ni koishita 	Mary, weThe song is implied to be in multiple first person perspective, so I’m sticking with that for the rest of the song (where applicable). are in love with you
僕ら哀れな哀れなStray Sheep 	bokura aware na aware na Stray Sheep 	We, the sad, sad stray sheep
下品な声を出しては 	gehin na koe o dashite wa 	We let out vulgar cries
パンとブドウと救済なんて待っていた 	pan to budou to kyuusai nante matte ita 	And we wait for things like salvation and bread and grapes
 	 	
メリーさん、君を待ってた 	merii-san, kimi o matteta 	Mary, we were waiting for you
死んだ目をして回したShepherd's Crook 	shinda me o shite mawashita Shepherd's Crook	With dead eyes, you spin your shepherd’s crook
塩・胡椒を振ってさ 	shio koshou o futte sa 	Carelessly shaking salt and pepperYou know what would’ve been smart? Trying to interpret this part as to whether ‘Mary’ or the speaker(s) is/are shaking the salt and pepper. What did I do? Leave it as vague as the song did (imo it’d be fitting for Mary to be doing it but the sentence structure implies that it’s the sheep/speakers).
いっそこの身を食べてほしいと言ったんだ 	isso kono mi o tabete hoshii to itta nda 	We say that we’d rather you eat our bodies
 	 	
誰も彼も 	dare mo kare mo 	Everyone
どうせ、群れになって、名をなくして 	douse, mure ni natte, na o nakushite 	will gather into a flock, lose their name
消える 	kieru 	and disappear
 	 	
迷々、僕ら迷い惑って 	meimei, bokura mayoi madotte 	We’re lostA title drop. It’s wordplay with ‘mee mee’ (bleating’ and ‘meimei’ (individually). The one in the title is the word (‘mei’) for lost repeated, so something like ‘Lost Lost’. Changed all instances of it in the lyrics to ‘we’re lost’ so it makes some sense in English.--we’ve gone astray
迷々、僕ら苦しんで 	meimei, bokura kurushinde 	We’re lost--we’re suffering
迷々、僕ら悲しくなって 	meimei, bokura kanashiku natte 	We’re lost--we’re sad
銘々、独りメェーメェー泣いて 	meimei, hitori meee meee naite 	Each of us, alone, we cry ‘baa baa’The original song uses ‘meh meh’ (or ‘maa maa’ as in the beginning of the video), but it’s not a very common interpretation of a sheep’s cry in English.
 	 	
メェーメェー、僕ら喚き散らして 	meee meee, bokura wamekichirashite 	Baa baa! About to go mad--...Don’t take my word for this. I tried to search up what ‘どうかなりそう’ meant, but all I got was for ‘どうにかなりそう’ and one site for the term I was actually looking for. It has the general meaning of ‘skittish’ and ‘going mad but not completely off the rails yet’.(どうかなりそうで is a difficult one, but I agree "about to go mad" (from どうかしている) seems plausible. The purpose of で is to make it into a clause and link it with the rest of the verse. verb+そう is a "na" adjective whose -te form is made by adding で, exactly the same as the て at the end of the other lines in the verse. - ElectricRaichu)
メェーメェー、どうかなりそうで 	meee meee, douka narisou de 	Baa baa! We rant and rave
メェーメェー、僕はここにいるって 	meee meee, boku wa koko ni iru tte 	Baa baa! I’m here
銘々、独りメェーメェー泣いて 	meimei, hitori meee meee naite 	Each of us, alone, we cry ‘baa baa’
 	 	
一頭二頭三で迷々 	ittou nitou san de meimei 	One sheep, two sheep, three and we’re lost
四の五の言ってもロクでもねぇぜ 	shinogono itte mo roku demo nee ze 	Even if we whine about four and five things, it’s not even sa-six-factoryFollowing the structure it literally means, ‘Called for four and five, but there ain’t six’. However, if we follow the ‘touzen’ pun below, then ‘roku’ in ‘roku demo nee ze’ is a pun, and the latter means ‘satisfactory’ (in a negative context). So ‘not even sa-six-factory’. Terrible, but I can’t think of anything else.
七転八倒九死に迷々 	shichitenhattou kyuushi ni meimei 	Fall down seven times, get up eight and die nine, we’re lost
トウ然、そのままサヨナラベイベー 	touzen, sono mama sayonara beibee 	Cer-ten-ly, we’ll leave it like that and bid farewell, baby‘Touzen’ means ‘Of course’, but Karasuyasabou intentionally wrote ‘tou’ in katakana to keep up with the counting theme--’tou’ or ‘too’ means ‘ten’, and certainly works as an alternative to ‘of course’, so ‘certainly’ → cer-ten-ly. I’m proud of that one.
 	 	
我等はひつじ、ひつじ、ひつじ 	warera wa hitsuji, hitsuji, hitsuji 	We are all sheep, sheep, sheep
愚かなひつじ 	oroka na hitsuji 	Foolish sheep
みんなでメェメェメェ 	minna de mee mee mee 	Everyone cries ‘baa, baa, baa!’
我等はひつじ、ひつじ、ひつじ 	warera wa hitsuji, hitsuji, hitsuji 	We are all sheep, sheep, sheep

ねぇねぇ、僕は有象無象の  	nee nee, boku wa uzoumuzou no 	Hey, hey, I’m melting--
ねぇねぇ、中で溶け合って 	nee nee, naka de tokeatte 	Hey, hey,--into the crowd
人間ですらあれない僕は  	ningen de sura arenai boku wa 	I can’t even be considered human
メェーメェー、独り、メェーメェー泣いて 	meee meee, hitori, meee meee naite 	Baa baa--alone, I cry ‘baa baa’
 	 	
メェーメェー、僕は喚き散らして 	meee meee, boku wa wamekichirashite 	Baa, baa! I rant and rave--
ねぇ、ねぇ、誰か気がついて 	nee, nee, dareka ki ga tsuite 	Hey, hey! Notice me, somebody!
メェーメェー、どうか救いを僕に 	meee mee, douka sukui o boku ni 	Baa, baa! Please save me--
メェーメェ、君は 	meee meee, kimi wa 	Baa, baa! I’m begging you!The line is actually, ‘I’m begging you to save me, please’ and cut midway with the bleating, but the original lyrics put ‘you’ at the end of the stanza for dramatic effect. So I tried to cut the sentence in a similar way to reflect that.
