Shake It♥

O-Lailaila O-Lailaila
O-Lailaila O-Lai
(I ♥ girls)

Pure, right, beautiful
Crafty, fickle and loving new things

Easy to understand, difficult to understand –
I absolutely adore those different sides of us

(More) modestly (more) obviously
(More) wild and out of control. Hey, girls!

(Still more) modestly (still more) obviously
(Still more) wild and out of control. Hey, girls!!!

Girls have a magic that only girls know how to use
On the count of four, come with me, to heaven, yes, 1.2.3.4

Shake it (2 more)
Shake it shake it lala (c’mon babe)
Shake it (2 more)
Shake it shake it lala

O-Lailaila O-Lailaila
O-Lailaila O-Lai
(I ♥ girls)

While I admire the talent to make
Easy and simple things look difficult

I love the way we can also make
Difficult and time-consuming things look easy

(More) let me hear you (more) let’s go
(More) we can be free. Hey, girls?

(Still more) let me hear you (still more) let’s go
(Still more) we can be free. Hey, girls???

Girls have secrets that only girls know of
On the count of four, come with me, to heaven, yes, 1.2.3.4

Shake it (2 more)
Shake it shake it lala (one more time)
Shake it (2 more)
Shake it shake it lala

You don’t have to tell me that that girl over there is loved more than me
I already know

Girls have a magic that only girls know how to use
On the count of four, come with me, to heaven, yes, 1.2.3.4

Girls have secrets that only girls know of
On the count of four, come with me, to heaven, yes, 1.2.3.4

Shake it (2 more)
Shake it shake it lala (c’mon babe)
Shake it (2 more)
Shake it shake it lala

Shake it (2 more)
Shake it shake it lala (one more time)
Shake it (2 more)
Shake it shake it lala

O-Lailaila O-Lailaila
O-Lailaila O-Lai
(I ♥ girls)

hmmm I heard this song had quite shocking lyrics. I don't see it =\

Ayu's tribute to gays is kinda disappointing lol I liked Lady Dynamite much better.

edit: THANKS TENSHI!!

Thanks! Well definitely not Ayu-ish lyrics, but other than that: they're not shocking either.

Yeah, I made sure to check for subtext or anything like that but there's none I can find. I guess "go wild and out of control" and "shake it!" is shocking for Ayu's standards? :laugh

another hint of loneliness...
this is quite fun actually hahaha
love the attitude she's got here :)

ahhh was waiting for a translation of this! thanks!

Finally! This and NaNaNa were the songs I waited translations the most! :D I like this new style of her lyrics writing. She really is experimenting new stuff with this album and I like it. A bit this reminds me of my name's WOMEN too~

Thanks for the translation anyway, I really appreciate it~ :yes

Ah, the token girl power song on the album LOL I think this song might have the worst lyrics on the album... but at least the music is pretty decent.

"On the count of four, come with me, to heaven, yes, 1.2.3.4"

Is this the erotic line in the song? o.o

how is that erotic?? LOL
all i think about is probably getting drunk and being on a high

^^ i also see this in a sexual way haha

Lol, these aren't at all erotic :P

Thanks for the translation!!

Maybe she means Heaven the nightclub lol

It would make sense!

i love the comments XD

thank you, tenshi!

I get the feeling the love she's referring to is the kinda love one has with a significant other.

The Days PV exhibited lonely qualities like this, only this time it seems, a bit angrier and spiteful.

Finally! :D

I didn't find the lyrics erotic but sexy :P

Thanks for translating!

Don't really find the lyrics "erotic" but maybe that's just me.

it's matter of perspective
japanese people are shy&pervert in the same time.
they can add pervertion anywhere because of both reason

but for me they are "standard" party-song/mainstream pop lyrics.
it doesn't mean they are bad, ayu never had "oh baby let me touch you oh baby baby love me baby" stuff ;d
this is still good lyrics.

What could be considered even remotely erotic though? Her saying Shake it? Or the "girls have magic/secrets that only girls can use" part?

my version!! ^^ though I swear, I keep hearing Timmy say "tell me more" instead of "2 more"... o_0

Thanks for posting! I was unsure whether to use "we" or "I" in the second verse but your translation shows me "we" fits better :yes *edits own translation*

Maybe erotic in a way like "c'mon girls, on the count of 4, show how sexy you are by going wild and shaking your booties on the dance floor". i often see girls dancing alongside each other in sort of a contest to show who's sexier dancing, and then they go showing of who's better at bootie shaking to the public lol

This is not what I expected... I find these lyrics a bit strange, maybe because I don't really understand the meaning of it all.

But I love this song still :3

Thanks for translations~

I hear Timmy say "Turn me On" during "Shake it".

Me neither. :no that's not a bad thing though. lol

thanks for the translations guys.

thanks for the translations!

obsessed with this song rn.

i swear though, even if the lyrics say "2 more" i will forever hear "tell me more"

We love pure, honest, beautiful,
Sly, fickle and new things

It seems you are misunderstanding a bit in this stanza. "Atarashiimono-zuki" is actually one adjective, though quite long. So this is the enumeration of 6 adjectives indeed.
And "tadashii" and "shoujiki" are different. I think it's better to use "right" or "righteous" instead of "honest".
Also, "sly" is a word of such a negative sense, isn't it? But as you see, she is not using these words as so negative senses. So I think another word which is not so negative would be better in this case.
Putting things together, this is my supposition.

Pure, right, beautiful
Crafty, fickle and loving new things

"Zuki" is the changed form of "suki" and like a postfix. It comes after many nouns and it's very useful. For example, "ongaku-zuki" is "loving music", and "neko-zuki" is "loving cat". "Zuki" itself is neutral. But I think she is using all these adjectives as not in so negative senses here.

So who wants to Shake It♥, Sha-Shake It♥ LALA with me? lol

I actually like it when she goes LALA in the song.
Am I the only one? Lol

Not what I thought from hearin the song.... lolz

want to kill the O-lai-lai thing
