西野カナ / トリセツ (English Cover)

今日は西野カナさんの「トリセツ」を英語でお届けします♪
この曲は「女性の取扱証明書」という面白いコンセプトになっています。
たくさんの女性が共感できると思いますので、男性の方は勉強してくださいね(笑)

Here is an English version of female Japanese singer-songwriter Kana Nishino's "Torisetsu" (Instruction Manual). I found the lyrics quite interesting, since they read as an instruction manual for how to treat a girl. Men, please take note :)

I’d like to take this opportunity
to say thank you for choosing me
to be the partner by your side.
Before we start I will read out to you
the manual for how to use
me best and how to treat me right.

First off, always treat me like you need me
with respect and warmth.
Don’t forget that I’m a one-time-offer
with no exchanges or returns.
I’ll be yours forever more.

Well, there may be times when I am broken down or raise a fuss
but when you ask me why,
don’t expect an answer, but ignoring me will make it even worse.
For this, I apologize.
So I hope that you don’t let that discourage you
‘cause I’ll be counting on your love to see me through.

I’ll have longer durability with frequent compliments,
like saying my nails look good.
And if you notice all the little changes. I will be content.
Pay attention like you should.
Honey, but there are some things you don’t need to say.
You can keep it to yourself if you think I’m gaining weight.

When I get a little older and my hair turns to gray
and the magic is starting to fade,
just close your eyes and think of how we met that day
and all of the precious memories we made.

I look forward to being with you for quite a while.
I’m a mess but please take me as I am
with forgiveness and smile.
And if you always take good care of me,
my love will last forever with a lifetime guarantee.

Well, you may be surprised to hear a single flower that I don’t expect
is sure to make my heartbeat race
and little gifts from time to time will have a positive effect
if they’re chosen in good taste.
But if you want to know the best way to my heart,
writing me a short love letter is the best way to start.

And when I am drowning in sorrow and tears cover my face,
wipe them gently ‘til they’ve gone away.
Wrap your arms around me in a tight embrace,
‘cause no one else but you can make me feel okay.

I look forward to being with you for quite a while.
I’m a mess but please take me the way I am
with a nod and a smile.
And if you always take good care of me,
my love will last forever with a lifetime guarantee.

I’d like it if sometimes you would take me traveling
And for a fancy dinner on our anniversary
Without saying it’s not our scene
Take my arm so I feel like a queen.
Open your heart up wide and love me true and deeply
Take every single part of me

これからもどうぞよろしくね。
kore kara mo douzo yoroshiku ne.
こんな私だけど笑って許してね。
konna watashi dakedo waratte yurushite ne.
ずっと大切にしてね。
zutto taisetsu ni shite ne.
永久保証の私だから。
eikyuu hoshou no watashi dakara.
