上からマリコ (Ue kara Mariko) – Mariko from the top
from Ue kara Mariko single.
—–
You, my senior, are so wild and free
Even I can’t predict your next move
In the crowd, suddenly turning around
You pestered (me)
For a kiss
Mariko from the top, you sadistic person!
So unreasonable, like a tablet of love
Why so sudden? Why do you shut your eyes?
Are you for real? Or is this a joke?
The age gap is a thrill, like a Ferris Wheel
You swayed my heart and made it hammer hard
When I hesitate, to agitate me
You (gently) said
“You coward”
Pestering Mariko, you selfish person!
Such bad behaviour, like you’re just trying out love
Why now? Why here?
Are you for real? Are you a baby?
Acting shy, so teasingly
You pout your lips
Mariko from the top, you sadistic person!
So unreasonable, like a tablet of love
Why so sudden? Why do you shut your eyes?
Are you for real? Or is this a joke?
My senior (my senior), that’s you, but (that’s you, but)
More than anyone else (More than anyone else), you’re just the cutest
My senior (my senior), that’s you, but (that’s you, but)
You’re always (you’re always), a teenager to me

Misa’s note
1) Tablet of love comes from the phrase “愛の踏み絵” or “ai no fumie”. A “fumie” is tablet bearing Christian images. During the Edo period, suspected Christians were forced to step on the fumie to prove that they were not Christians, which was a banned religion in Japan then.

年上の君は 自由奔放で
次の行動が 僕にも読めない
人ごみの中 急に振り向いて
君は（僕に）キスを
せがんだ
上からマリコ サディスティックな奴め!
愛の踏み絵みたい 無茶ぶり
何でいきなり? 何で目を閉じる?
君は本気なのか? Jokeなのか?
年の差はスリル まるで観覧車
心揺らされて ドキッとするんだ
ためらってたら 僕を煽るように
君が(そっと)言った
意気地なし
おねだりマリコ ワガママな奴め!
愛を試すような 仕打ち
なんで今なの? なんでこの場所で?
君は本気なのか? Babyか?
シャイなくせして いたずらっぽく
唇尖らせる
上からマリコ サディスティックな奴め!
愛の踏み絵みたい 無茶ぶり
何でいきなり? 何で目を閉じる?
君は本気なのか? Jokeなのか?
年上の(年上の) 君なのに(君なのに)
誰よりも(誰よりも) 可愛く思える

いつだって(いつだって) 僕にはTeenager
