ringo shiina lyrics & translation
Sake to Geko / Sake and the Non-Drinker
Variety

me ni mo misete kodoku na hito
kotoba de yowasete oboreru hodo
tokimeki o kaese tabou na hito
yoku o itaida kasete koboreru hodo

aa, omae-san o seifuku shitai
okuyukashiki kyoukasho o zenbu haiki shobun shiro

“katsute nobiri shi itadaki no keshiki ga yuiitsu no sakana ka na (omae no mita yama to wa taishita koto nai)” to,
iitai boku wa ippo mo ugokanai no sa
  
me ni mo yuwasu kodoku na boku
kotoba wa oboezu ha o ukasu
mimi o sobadate sugu fusagu boku
mune mo kogasarezu ni akogareru
  
aa, omae-san o boutoku shitai
kono yo no kenson to shikijou ni massatsu sarero
Show me your eyes, too, lonely person
So drunk on words you’re drowning
Get back what excited you, busy person
So forced to hold greed it’s overflowing

Oh, I want to conquer you
Do away with every refined textbook

“I wonder if the scenery you get after the one time you climb to the very top is the only side dish (it’s nothing compared to the mountain you saw)”
I want to say that but I’m frozen stiff

My eyes say it too, I who am lonely
I save my teeth by not remembering words
Straining my ears will soon stop them up
I long for you without letting it burn my heart

Oh, I want to desecrate you
Make me ignore the modesty and lust of this world
