TANGO Swanka Translation


TANGO Swanka
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi/Imai Hisashi
Music: Imai Hisashi

The siren in my brain, outlaw syndrome emergency
Operetta spirits endorphins all flying free
I’m running through yeah, running through like lightning flashing
One, two, high kick whoo!
OH OH R&R

I love those hands of yours
I love that hair of yours
I love that sweet smell that is only yours
Not kidding anymore
Not dreaming anymore
Come on and love me now oh Baby

Let’s back-alley tango
Tangling your legs with mine
Anybody, kiss me
Come on give me love this time

The siren in my brain, pleasure RAZZLE DAZZLE BUBBLE FRAGILE
Petticoat showtime, alibi’s your easy true form
In the blood red moonlit night, the phantom thief comes
One, two, high kick whoo!
OH OH R&R

I love that sin of yours
That darkness of yours
I love that sweet smell that is only yours
Not kidding anymore
Not dreaming anymore
Come on and love me now oh Baby

In your forehead Bang! Bang!
Maybe a little ugly
Don’t anybody touch me
Bestow your love upon me

I love those hands of yours
That darkness of yours
I love that sweet smell that is only yours
No, you think I’m kidding?
It never comes again
Come on and love me now oh Baby

Let’s back-alley tango
Tangling your legs with mine
Anybody, kiss me
Come on give me love this time
In your forehead Bang! Bang!
Maybe a little dirty
Don’t anybody touch me
Bestow your love upon me

Note: Imai wrote the spoken-word parts of these lyrics, and Sakurai wrote all the rest. You can sing both parts of this translation with the original melody/rhythm. Also, it's possible that Sakurai was writing in two voices in this song, as he did for "Cabaret." Some of his diction is very rough and crude, while some is very high-tone. I tried to express this in my translation, as well as a little of the double-entendre behind that phrase "back alley tango." (I thought maybe I was reading it in until I saw the first stop on the live tour, where Sakurai made it abundantly clear with which parts of himself he chose to grab at which times what this song is all about.) The "One two high kick" line is a direct reference to Imai's indiosyncratic style of dancing.
