虫のつぶやき [Mushi no tsubuyaki] [English translation]

I'm a mantis, I'm good for hunting

But they don't embrace me tenderly

I'm a spider, I'm good for building homes

But even you get entangled

Ah, I'm depressed

Ah, my worries are everlasting

Ah, if I reincarnate, what would I be?

I'm not a butterfly, but I'm hated

Though nobody can distinguish me

I'm a leaf insect, I keep shaking

For not being eaten by my rivals

Ah, living one knows pain

Ah, but I have to do it tomorrow

From millions of years ago

We're connected with our ancestors

The most beautiful thing in the world

Is to live a new morning

I'm a jewel beetle, everyday

They say I'm beautiful only for my back

I'm a centipede, I'm scary

But I can eradicate strong enemies

Ah, and yet they get rid of me

Ah, just for my appearance you won't understand anything

Tu tu tu ru ru ru　Tu tu tu ru ru ru

Ru ru tu tu tu　Tu tu tu ru ru ru‥
