"SOUTHPAW"
translation by Tad Park
(Webmaster's notes: Baseball is insanely popular in the Land of the Rising Sun, and I remember having read or heard somewhere that this song was said to be a tribute to Sadaharu Oh, Japan's answer to Babe Ruth who finished his career with an astonishing 856 home runs. Even the title of this song holds a particular significance as Kei is lefthanded----a southpaw!)
Super player with
uniform No.1 is at bat
Lightly raising a leg
like a flamingo
With the super star's appearance
Sign from bench is
"Give an international walk"
But I don't want to
turn my back on
If I were man,
there would be no choice
But woman can't do
such a thing
Refuse the timid sign
Only pitch my best magic ball
Yes, win or lose!
Silence reigns over the stadium
It's a great moment of the century
Heated game is
feeling of love
Hearts beats fast
Feel dizzy
I'm about to lose
I'm about to lose!
* I'm southpaw in pink
I'm southpaw in pink
Give you hectic time
Give you hectic time
The magic ball is
The magic ball is
Hurricane!
Super player is grinning
to me like saying
"Why don't you give me
a nice ball, little girl..."
Say good by to sexy me
for a while
Yes, keep it aside
until catch the big fish!
Suspense suddenly
running through
It's a moment of thrill
If heated eyes meet
White flame crackles
Heart flares up
I'm about to loose
I'm about to loose!
* repeat
