Lelio Lyrics
 

this song was SUPER HARD to transcribe, keep in mind i did it COMPLETELY from ear and i am in no way fluent in japanese. so there are parts i know are wrong. (if it's in parenthesis like this it means that is what i heard but i'm not sure) ??? < this means i just had no idea. but i hope people enjoy and we all can contribute to it.

I think this is "Mad at yourself". I'm surprised by how much English this song contains, and Ayu sings it surprisingly well. :yes

That's what I hear too :D The English does actually really work. Reminds me of the kind of Namie song I like to listen to.

I've ended up with these bits from yours Tomoyo and listening a lot on repeat

(hyouku wo) ? iijou kita wa, ?? motto (daita) kara madarete
tataku himetaka aru nara ??? wata ja oo

Mad at yourself sonna daka.....
yeah I can tell oh oh oh oh oh

guttai teki ni nani

Teki ichido?? (It's ichi something I think) tame no gisei de sono itsuka ??(itsuku youtei)
ima doko ni ?? ima mou ikiru koko (dete ita)

thank you!

Deep, this song is very deep.

I still have no idea wtf it's about. :D

I think in this part
"i mean it - i mean it - i mean it"

she says "I need it"

Hahaha LMAO

I don't want to sound mean, but then what was the point of this transcription? Too many parts are wrong or just missing.

Lelio Lelio Le-Lelio Lelio DJ

Lelio Lelio Le-Lelio Lelio DJ

Lelio Lelio Le-Lelio Lelio DJ
(nan you michika nara na wa) --> Naru you ni shika naranai wa

maybe just about:

she know what you want,
but she just gonna follow her feeling and dance,
coz she know what she want.
say whatever you want,
mad at yourself while she laugh aha aha aha at you,
she mean it!

LOL my head hurts.

because it's good practice in LISTENING and trying to figure out what she's saying. and it's for fun. if you don't want to read them then don't that's all. but some people want to know what the POSSIBLE lyrics are. sorry if i sound like a bitch saying that but it IS kind of rude to say something like that to someone who is only trying to help. plus it's fun to see how close you actually get!


thanks to all the people who have helped so far!!

I'm pretty fluent in japanese, this is what I hear. Still the quality of the rip doesn't allow to get everything right...hope it helps.

Because with a bit of teamwork, there can be some lyrics to sing along for people who want to. And it is good practice especially if you are learning Japanese as it sharpens your recognition of words and phrases and your listening skills.

Thanks for your hard work !

The last line in a couple of the chorus verses is "kangaeru no (wo) yametara"

I think the first verse is actually:

jump on the scene kimi no choisu
what do you wanna do? oh oh oh oh oh
follow my feelings boku no choisu
that is all i need yeah yeah yeah

Thanks for posting :)


but... what is lelio? lol

I hear:

Lelio Lelio Le-Lelio Lelio DJ
Je t'aime aha aha aha achoo


Is "Lelio" a french word? If it were, it would make sense. Seems like Lelio is a name.

Google says that it is an Italian boy's name meaning "joking, laughing, talkative." and there was a Spanish martyr St. Lelio.
It's also a classical piece of music - Lélio, ou le Retour à la Vie (English: Lélio, or the Return to Life) by French composer Hector Berlioz.
Nothing obvious so far at all but it might become clearer with a song translation and PV.

I hear hyaku oku (百億)　at the start there
and also 'Lelio Lelio Leli Lelio' >,<

Edit: i don't hear the 'tataku hi ga moto aru nara', but "tataku hime toka aru nara" or something very similar to that XD

Edit #2: "Teki ichido??" might be "tatta itsuka no"

^ You're close ;) It's 'hima toka aru nara" which means "If you've got the time to …"

This is what I have so far (with help of everyone in this thread~)

edit: ayu_love03 has done a much better job than me. Check her/his post :laugh

from the lyrics my only thoughts is "what a fucking random song"
Thanks anyway.

A couple of things I hear differently:

kangaeru no wo yameta wa --> kangaeru no (wo) yametara?

yume natta mitai nanimo --> yudanete mita nanimo kamo

Me too

this part
I heard
yea I a aha aha get/at you(?)) ..?

Wow, you guys weren't kidding - this isn't easy at all o_O But I love a challenge so I made my guess. Used some suggestions & guesses I read in this thread as well, I certainly got stuck in a few places.

Translated too. Pretty much your standard ayu "live in the present" fare from what I can tell, pretty good.

Some of the grammar is iffy though - she sings this very nasally and it throws her pronunciation off in places, resulting in some "d"s that sound like they could be "n"s and "e"/"a" mergers and such.

Anyway, here's this!

Jump on the scene, that's your choice
What do you wanna do? (Oh oh oh oh oh)
Follow my feelings, that's my choice
That is all I need

More than ten billion answers have come
And you're rebounding from that
If you have time to waste,
You must totally understand.

Lelio lelio leli-lelio DJ
Yeah there at you
Lelio lelio leli-lelio DJ
Once you stop thinking & planning,

Lelio lelio leli-lelio DJ
Yeah there at you
Lelio lelio leli-lelio DJ
Try handing everything off to someone else.

Mad at yourself in a place like this
Yeah I can tell (Oh oh oh oh oh)
"I wanna feel safe," you say, for instance
You'd like everything to be more concrete.

You're making sacrifices for "someday,"
Expecting this "someday" of yours to eventually come
It's okay to say "Right now,
I'm living for the sake of right now"

Lelio lelio leli-lelio DJ
Yeah there at you
Lelio lelio leli-lelio DJ
What if you threw away everything all at once?

Lelio lelio leli-lelio DJ
Yeah there at you
Lelio lelio leli-lelio DJ
Change for no other reason than to change.

Lelio lelio leli-lelio DJ
Yeah there at you
Lelio lelio leli-lelio DJ
Lelio lelio leli-lelio

I mean it
I mean it
I mean it

You know what you want
You know what you want
And I know what I want
And I know what I want

Lelio lelio leli-lelio DJ
Yeah there at you
Lelio lelio leli-lelio DJ
Once you stop thinking & planning,

Lelio lelio leli-lelio DJ
Yeah there at you
Lelio lelio leli-lelio DJ
Try handing everything off to someone else.

Here's Kanji version of the lyrics and I'm pretty sure this is 95% correct :) I had to listen to this song at least more than 20 times to figure out what she was singing even for me who is a native Japanese speaker so I have no doubt it was really complicated for learners haha

(jump on the scene) 君のチョイスを
what do you wanna do? oh oh oh oh oh

^ thank you! :heart

Is 叩いてから渡れ referring to the expression "石橋を叩いて渡る"?

I'm positive :D

Here's my translation~

edit: It's now based on the official lyrics:

Lelio

Jump out or stay. Your choice
What do u wanna do? (oh oh oh oh oh)
Follow my feelings. My choice
That’s all I need (yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)

I’ve heard it over a hundred million times:
"Knock again before you cross"
If there’s time to knock, I’m just gonna cross

Lelio lelio leli lelio DJ, yeah that's you
Lelio lelio leli lelio DJ, how about we just stop thinking?
Lelio lelio leli lelio DJ, yeah that's you
Lelio lelio leli lelio DJ, try to leave it all to someone else

Mad at yourself, that’s where you’re at
Yeah, I can tell (oh oh oh oh oh)
You say you wanna feel safe
Well, give me a concrete example of what you want

You say “it’s a sacrifice for someday”
But when is that so-called “someday” going to come?
I’m busy enough with just living today for today

Lelio lelio leli lelio DJ, yeah that's you
Lelio lelio leli lelio DJ, how about we just throw everything away once?
Lelio lelio leli lelio DJ, yeah that's you
Lelio lelio leli lelio DJ, whatever will be, will be
Lelio lelio leli lelio DJ, yeah that's you
Lelio lelio leli lelio DJ, lelio lelio leli lelio

I mean it, I mean it, I mean it
You know what you want
You know what you want
And I know what I want
And I know what I want

Lelio lelio leli lelio DJ, yeah that's you
Lelio lelio leli lelio DJ, how about we just stop thinking?
Lelio lelio leli lelio DJ, yeah that's you
Lelio lelio leli lelio DJ, try to leave it all to someone else

T/N: The ‘knock’ and ‘crossing’ thing refers to the Japanese expression “Knocking on a stone bridge before crossing it.” In other words, being overly cautious.

LOVE THE LYRICS!!! it's strong :D
thanks guys for the hard work!

When I put the lyrics on my iphone, I really wanna leave it as 'achoo'. Ayu's best lyrics to date, goes with the whole 'dance songs don't need meaning'.

English sounds weird

Lelio Lelio Leli Lelio DJ Yeah babe a ha a ha a choo

or it would be

Lelio Lelio Leli Lelio DJ Je t'aime a ha a ha a choo

Ayu is so awesome when she can make a stupid sounding song so relatable and deep! :D I love this one♥

I was hearing "worry about yourself" and I like that better lol

I'm very happy this song exists.

"(jump on the scene) kimi no (choice wo)
what do you wanna do? oh oh oh oh oh
follow my feelings boku no (choice wo)
dance all (night) yeah yeah yeah"


Is this part possibly entirely English?
It almost sounds like the first line is Jump on the scene, give me no choice oh.
And the second also could potentially be english too, it's just so hard to hear her engrish.
Almost sounds like she says come and join us now, or something like that.

This is all speculation on my part, but thought I would contribute. Hahah..

Mystery solved

The first line is "Jump out or stay"

And the chorus is "Lelio Lelio Lelio Lelio DJ Yeah That's You"
