友達と違う見た目 	tomodachi to chigau mitame 	I look different from my friends,
昔からコンプレックスで 	mukashi kara konpurekkusu de 	it’s from this complex that I’ve had for a long time
いつも自身が持てない 	itsumo jishin ga motenai 	Never having any self-confidence,
猫背がちな毎日 	nekozegachi na mainichi 	I found myself hunching my backCat pun no. 1: 猫背, which refers to a hunched back, literally means 'cat back'. everyday
 	 	
そんな私に手を差し伸べる 	sonna watashi ni te o sashinoberu 	That’s how I was when you reached out to me
君のことなんだか 	kimi no koto nandaka 	I kind of started thinking a lot about you,
いつもいつでも気になって 	itsumo itsu demo ki ni natte 	every time, anytime
 	 	
猫舌で猫かぶりで 	nekojita de nekokaburi de 	I don’t like the fact that I’m shy,
臆病な自分がやだ 	okubyou na jibun ga yada 	that I’m sensitive to heat and a phonyCat pun no. 2: 猫舌 and 猫かぶり are cat idioms that refer to being sensitive to hot food and drinks and being a phony, respectively (literally 'cat tongue' and 'putting on a cat [hat/mask]').
逃げ道ばかり探して 	nigemichi bakari sagashite 	Constantly looking for an escape route
小さく丸まってたけど 	chiisaku marumatteta kedo 	Even if I’m curled up into a small ball
 	 	
キライなこともまとめて 	kirai na koto mo matomete 	You took everything I hated about myself
私のままでいいんだって 	watashi no mama de iin datte 	And told me that
君が教えてくれた 	kimi ga oshiete kureta 	I was fine the way I am
前足を空にかざす 	maeashi o sora ni kazasu 	I hold up my front paws to the sky
 	 	
帰り道で見つけた 	kaerimichi de mitsuketa 	I found a fluffy cat toy
フワフワの猫じゃらし 	fuwafuwa no neko jarashi 	on my way home
遊びたくてウズウズ 	asobitakute uzu uzu 	I was really itching to play with it,
見ないふりしてガマン 	minai furi shite gaman 	but I held myself back and pretended I didn’t see it

猫の手も借りたいほど 	neko no te mo karitai hodo 	These days, I’ve been so incredibly busy
忙しすぎる毎日 	isogashi sugiru mainichi 	that I’m ready to accept help from a catCat pun no. 3: 猫の手も借りたいほど is a cat idiom that means 'extremely busy'. Since the actual term for 'extremely busy' already appears in the song, I chose to translate the idiom literally.
カレンダーに増えてゆく 	karendaa ni fuete yuku 	The memories where I laugh with you
君と笑った思い出 	kimi to waratta omoide 	are gradually increasing in my calendar
 	 	
昨日よりも少しだけ 	kinou yori mo sukoshi dake 	I’ve started to like myself a bit more

猫なで声でつぶやく 	neko nade koe de tsubuyaku 	So you wouldn’t be able to hear it
 	 	
背筋伸ばして 	sesuji nobashite 	Straightening my back,
尻尾ふりながら 	shippo furi nagara 	Wagging my tail,
後ろ足を踏み出した 	ushiro ashi o fumidashita 	I took a step on my hind leg
 	 	
猫の杓子も誰でも 	neko no shakushi mo dare demo 	Among anyone and everyone,Cat pun no. 5: 猫も杓子も, which means 'anyone and everyone', literally means 'even cats and ladles'.
カンペキな人はいない 	kanpeki na hito wa inai 	there isn’t a single perfect person
それぞれ悩みながら 	sorezore nayami nagara 	Even as you’re worrying about this and that
なんとかかんとか割り切って 	nan to ka kan to ka warikitte 	Find some kind of way to see it from a clearer point of view!
 	 	
１、２、３ にゃ！ 	1, 2, 3 nya! 	1, 2, 3, meow!
猫舌で猫かぶりで 	nekojita de nekokaburi de 	I may be shy
臆病な自分だけど 	okubyou na jibun dakedo 	and I may be sensitive to heat and a phony,Same as cat pun no. 2.
逃げずに前を向いて 	nigezu ni mae o muite 	But I won’t run, I’ll face forward
君と一緒に歩こう 	kimi to issho ni arukou 	And walk on with you
 	 	
無理して変わらなくても 	muri shite kawaranakute mo 	Even as I’m unchangeably unreasonable,
私のままでいいんだって 	watashi no mama de iin datte 	You told me that
