Japanese 	Romaji 	English
褪せた革財布の裏側で 	aseta kawa saifu no uragawa de 	On the inside of my faded leather wallet
他人に触られ慣れた紙切れ 	hito ni sawararenareta kamikire 	are slips of paper used to being touched by strangers’ hands.
アタシ大事に隠し持ってたの 	atashi daiji ni kakushimotteta no 	I’ve hidden them carefully away.
同じ顔で群れる偉人見て安堵したの 	onaji kao de mureru ijin mite ando shita no 	Seeing great men flock to the same face, I was relieved.
 	 	
駄犬を住まわせたは良いものの 	daken o sumawaseta wa ii mono no 	Housing a cur is a good thing,
餌代が頗る高くつく 	esadai ga sukoburu takaku tsuku 	but the cost of its food is extremely high.
粗末な横槍を押し当てて 	somatsu na yokoyari o oshiatete 	I push against that rude interruption,
絡む事しか能がないわ 	karamu koto shika nou ga nai wa 	as I’m good for nothing but sticking my nose in.
 	 	
me too me too 	me too me too 	me too me too
求めている 	motomete iru 	I’m seeking it out,
me too me too me too 	me too me too me too 	me too me too me too
無い物ねだりね 	nai mono nedari ne 	I suppose that’s asking for too much.
ギブギブそりゃdeep deep 	gibugibu sorya deep deep 	Give give, that’s deep deep
だがチープ淫夫 	da ga chiipu inbu 	but what cheap genitals.いんぶ (陰部) is “genitals” or “private parts,” but here it’s spelled with kanji that mean “lewd husband.”
耐えるのは辞めたのだ！ 	taeru no wa yameta no da! 	I’m done putting up with it!
 	 	
ほうら 君はすべてを無くした 	houra kimi wa subete o nakushita 	See, you’ve lost everything.
僕でさえ捨てられないでしょう 	boku de sae suterarenai deshou 	Not even I can throw you away.
たったひとつ阿漕な純愛 	tatta hitotsu akogi na jun'ai 	It’s a lone and ruthless pure love.
無一文で明日を迎えようや 	muichimon de asu o mukaeyou ya 	We’ll welcome tomorrow completely penniless.
 	 	
今日は僕の瘋癲記念日 	kyou wa boku no fuuten kinenbi 	Today is my insanity anniversary.
すべからくパンピーな出で立ち 	subekaraku panpii na idetachi 	Go right ahead, don some happy attire.
『実に唆るね、そのスカート模様』 	"jitsu ni sosoru ne, sono sukaato moyou" 	“It’s pretty stimulating, that pattern on your skirt.”
まあ三十一谷人 顔チラ見せしてりゃあ 	maa sanjuu ikkokujin kao chiramise shiteryaa	Well, if I let you have a look at Fukuzawa Yukichi's face,三十一谷人 is an alias of Fukuzawa Yukichi, whose face is featured on the Japanese ¥10,000 bill (roughly equivalent to the US $100 bill).
関係無いでしょ 股開くでしよ 	kankei nai desho mata hiraku de shiyo 	then it doesn’t matter, right? You’ll open your legs, won’t you?
 	 	
me too me too 	me too me too 	me too me too
求めないで 	motomenaide 	Don’t seek it out,
me too me too me too 	me too me too me too 	me too me too me too
いつまでもあると 思うな 	itsu made mo aru to omou na 	Don’t think it’ll always be there.
もうね こりゃ前途遼遠だ 	mou ne korya zentoryouen da 	See, we’ve still got a long way to go from here.
反省の色はほら無職だもの 	hansei no iro wa hora mushoku da mono 	Joblessness is the truest sign of remorse, after all.反省の色 is an expression meaning “sign of regret” or “indication of remorse,” though it literally means “the color of regret.” 無職 means “unemployed” or “jobless,” but it’s pronounced the same as 無色, “colorless,” so an alternate translation of this sentence could be something like “Remorse is colorless, after all,” indicating that someone’s “signs of remorse” are colorless, and therefore invisible, possibly nonexistent.
 	 	
駄目駄目もう素寒貧ですわ 	dame dame mou sukanpin desu wa 	No, no! I’m completely destitute.
金金 ばかり気にするあまり 	kane kane bakari ki ni suru amari 	Money this and money that, you’re too obsessed with it.
愛を見殺しにしたのは一体 	ai o migoroshi ni shita no wa ittai 	Who in the world is it that just let my love
誰誰誰誰誰誰誰誰？ 	daredare daredare daredare daredare? 	diediediediediediediedie?
 	 	
法螺 これは喩えの話しさ 	hora kore wa tatoe no hanashi sa 	Come on,法螺 is used in the song as an interjection meaning “come on” or “look,” though it’s written in kanji meaning “bragging” or “big talk” rather than its normal hiragana. this is just a hypothetical, see.
生活に居場所がただ無いだけ 	seikatsu ni ibasho ga tada nai dake 	I simply don’t have a place to belong in life.
たったふたり阿漕な純愛 	tatta futari akogi na jun'ai 	Just the two of us and our ruthless pure love.
倹約した愛に手を出せず 	ken'yaku shita ai ni te o dasezu 	I can’t lay a hand on this budgeted love.
 	 	
ほうら 君はすべてを無くした 	houra kimi wa subete o nakushita 	See, you’ve lost everything.
僕でさえ捨てられないでしょう 	boku de sae suterarenai deshou 	Not even I can throw you away.
また解りかけてた君の事 	mata wakarikaketeta kimi no koto 	I’m starting to understand you,
何も解らないと解りそうです 	nani mo wakaranai to wakarisou desu 	to understand that I don’t understand anything about you.

Alternate Translation =
Japanese 	Romaji 	English
褪せた革財布の裏側で 	aseta kawa saifu no uragawa de 	In the lining of my faded wallet
他人に触られ慣れた紙切れ 	hito ni sawararenareta kamikire 	Are slips of paper accustomed to a stranger's touch
アタシ大事に隠し持ってたの 	atashi daiji ni kakushimotteta no 	I've been carefully keeping it hidden
同じ顔で群れる偉人見て安堵したの 	onaji kao de mureru ijin mite ando shita no 	When I look at this crowd of same-faced bigwigs, I feel relieved
 	 	
駄犬を住まわせたは良いものの 	daken o sumawaseta wa ii mono no 	Although it's nice to keep a mutt
餌代が頗る高くつく 	esadai ga sukoburu takaku tsuku 	The price of pet food is getting too high
粗末な横槍を押し当てて 	somatsu na yokoyari o oshiatete 	Push against me with your crude interference
絡む事しか能がないわ 	karamu koto shika nou ga nai wa 	Because I have no talents other than getting involved絡む means "to be involved with; to be influenced by; to develop a connection with" and "to entangle; to entwine". It also means "to pick a quarrel; to find fault" but that doesn't seem to match the context.
 	 	
me too me too 	me too me too 	me too me too
求めている 	motomete iru 	I'm yearning
me too me too me too 	me too me too me too 	me too me too me too
無い物ねだりね 	nai mono nedari ne 	but I'm wishing for the moon
ギブギブそりゃdeep deep 	gibugibu sorya deep deep 	Give, give, that's it, deep, deep
だがチープ淫夫 	da ga chiipu inbu 	But my cheapskate shaggerCouldn't find 淫夫 in a dictionary. It's made of kanji for "lewdness" and "husband; man", and looks similar in composition to an existing word 淫婦 which means "lewd woman; prostitute". Violet330 suggests it's supposed to mean 陰部 "genitals", and while it fits the theme, I'd like to use the kanji used in the lyrics.
耐えるのは辞めたのだ！ 	taeru no wa yameta no da! 	Stopped putting up with that!
 	 	
ほうら 君はすべてを無くした 	houra kimi wa subete o nakushita 	Look, you've lost everything
僕でさえ捨てられないでしょう 	boku de sae suterarenai deshou 	And can't be thrown away even by me, right?Not sure if this refers to the "you" from the previous line, the "love" from the next line, or something else, but the former seems to be the case.
たったひとつ阿漕な純愛 	tatta hitotsu akogi na jun'ai 	This greedy pure love is one of a kind
無一文で明日を迎えようや 	muichimon de asu o mukaeyou ya 	So let's welcome tomorrow being broke
 	 	
今日は僕の瘋癲記念日 	kyou wa boku no fuuten kinenbi 	Today is my vagabond瘋癲 also translates as "insanity; insane person", and it's a sensitive term. anniversary
すべからくパンピーな出で立ち 	subekaraku panpii na idetachi 	So I ought to wear a commoner's outfit
『実に唆るね、そのスカート模様』 	"jitsu ni sosoru ne, sono sukaato moyou" 	"It really is tempting, that pattern on your skirt"
まあ三十一谷人 顔チラ見せしてりゃあ 	maa sanjuu ikkokujin kao chiramise shiteryaa	Well, if ya show me a peek of Fukuzawa Yukichi’s face The person featured on the 10K yen bill. 三十一谷人 is one of his aliases/nicknames.
関係無いでしょ 股開くでしよ 	kankei nai desho mata hiraku de shiyo 	Then it doesn't matter, right? Open your crotch 股 can mean "thighs" if it's read as "momo". While it's read as "mata" in the lyrics, "spread your legs" is also a possible meaning.
 	 	
me too me too 	me too me too 	me too me too
求めないで 	motomenaide 	Don't yearn for it
me too me too me too 	me too me too me too 	me too me too me too
いつまでもあると 思うな 	itsu made mo aru to omou na 	Don't think it's going to be forever
もうね こりゃ前途遼遠だ 	mou ne korya zentoryouen da 	Hey now, this is the end goal 前途遼遠 is a 4-character idiom, the only meanings I found were "goal" and "destination".
反省の色はほら無職だもの 	hansei no iro wa hora mushoku da mono 	See, the sign of regret Violet330 enlightened me that 反省の色 is a set expression. As mentioned by them as well, 無職 "unemployment" is a homonym of 無色 "colorless", so there indeed might be the double meaning of "The color of regret is transparent" i.e. "There's no regret". is unemployment
 	 	
駄目駄目もう素寒貧ですわ 	dame dame mou sukanpin desu wa 	No good, no good, I'm already penniless
金金 ばかり気にするあまり 	kane kane bakari ki ni suru amari 	I'm worrying this much and it's all about money
愛を見殺しにしたのは一体 	ai o migoroshi ni shita no wa ittai 	Just who let the love die?
誰誰誰誰誰誰誰誰？ 	daredare daredare daredare daredare? 	Who who who who who who who who?
 	 	
法螺 これは喩えの話しさ 	hora kore wa tatoe no hanashi sa 	It's big talk, this was only an analogy
生活に居場所がただ無いだけ 	seikatsu ni ibasho ga tada nai dake 	Just the one that has no place in our livelihood This might be wrong, but the overall meaning seems to be "this was an analogy not grounded in reality".
たったふたり阿漕な純愛 	tatta futari akogi na jun'ai 	This greedy pure love is two of a kind
倹約した愛に手を出せず 	ken'yaku shita ai ni te o dasezu 	And won't touch the love that was thrifted The last two lines might be wrong.
