SEL= Singable English Lyrics.

Basically, orenji jaro takes the original japanese lyrics of Ayu's songs and count the syllables of each word. he then creates the actual SEL(in english) by using words that fit the original song meaning and the orginal Japanese syllables.

it's not a direct translation. but the syllables are the same, so they're "singable" english lyrics.

For example:

Aisuru hito---> ai su ru hi to (5 syllables)
can be translated to...let's say..."if you be my man" lol
