Let’s dance, Sun
Let’s dance, dazzling
Let’s keep going till we burn out
Until our lives run out
Sweat dripping and flying, sparkling
Ah ha Majority
This is proof that we’re living
Ah ha Minority

We’re dazzling
When you swing your hips, that’s right
It’s Dance Heaven the world over
C’mon, let’s dance Here, stuff your cheeks
with The Forbidden Fruit¹
Living in the moment Impulsively

Mashed potatoes⁴ on these lips

Mashed potatoes on these fingers
Suck on them

Poofy!
How about that kid? They’re dazzling
When you swing your hips, that’s right
It’s Dance Heaven the world over
C’mon, let’s dance Here, stuff your cheeks
with The Forbidden Fruit¹
Notes:
¹ The Forbidden Fruit of the Garden of Eden is known as 禁断の果実 (kindan no kajitsu) in Japanese. Here, the lack of 果 in the phrase doesn’t change the translation into “Forbidden Fruit” because Sakurai pronounces 実 as “mi” rather than “jitsu”. When pronounced as “mi”, 実 refers to fruit, or seed, or pieces of meat/vegetables/ingredients in broth, or content/substances. When pronounced as “jitsu”, 実 refers to truth or reality.
² 諸行無常 is actually a Buddhist concept that say all things must pass. Buddhism teaches that the world and everything in it is illusory. In other words, all worldly things are impermanent, ephemeral, transient.
³ Another Buddhist concept, 色即是空 comes from the Heart Sutra which is the distillation of all teachings on Emptiness. 色即是空 means that all things in this world do not have a permanent substance, but they exist by virtue of their origin. Emptiness in Buddhism refers not to nothingness, but to the opposite: the interdependence of all phenomena, both mental and physical.
⁴ Aside from the obvious food item, mashed potato is also a dance move that was popular during the early-1960s. It sounds a lot like obvious innuendo here though.
