037: Come Again

it's Friday I want to play,
on Saturday don't want to stay, at home
thinking of you so let me party all night long,
it's Friday I want to play,
on Saturday don't want to waste no more time on you
so let me party all night long,

なんども、着信のチェックしてみても you won't appear
こっちからかけてもいいけど、my pride gets in the way

my friends keep telling me you ain't good for me
like 「あんなやつほっときな」
“Girl there's so much to see”
良い人に出会うチャンスはあるし

金曜日のスカラに君を忘れに踊り明かすよ今夜
I'll sing you this song, 届くように
切ないメロディーに涙しないようにクールにね
踊り続けさせて ねえ DJ won't you come again
フロアーをもっと熱く 響かせて
Yeah, 朝までまわし続けて 帰りたくないから止めないで

Bring it to ya live　直通これ Astro
しれてるはず もういわずと ever since　初登場
耳から離れることねえ　flow
from the 滑走路、bow！ 銃弾
突入あらゆる空間、あらゆる周波数
invasion stere-ere-o-phonic 芸術
so tell me who da... ６万ドルのヒューマン
chillin on my 空飛ぶじゅうたん m-flo crew is the 集団、
keepin clubs more ソシアル then アフロ
キューバン　とかしてくぜ道　封鎖
するやつら、蹴飛ばす　これ習慣 ain't nuthin to it, だまらず泣く子
取り巻きくっちゃうフロントアクト

this mic is live (wire) live (wire) live (wire)
this flow is live (wire) live (wire) live (wire)
DJ is live (wire) live (wire) live (wire)
The floor is live (wire) live (wire) live (wire)

こんなに 待ってても君に dissされるし
つまらない関係ならば why don't you let me go

My friends keep telling me I should find someone
つめたくなくて 優しい
a special one who'd treat you respectfully,
だってそれが普通だし

夜中過ぎるころには 君より他の素敵な人と 今夜
we'll sing you this song, そう 素直に
寄り添う二人 体が感じるままにね
踊り続けさせて ねえ DJ won't you come again
フロアーをもっと熱く 響かせて
Yeah, 朝までまわし続けて 帰りたくないから止めないで

おくれるなよ、get down get down
to the floor, party people
until the (Hoot! Hoot!)　ピーポーピーポー
come to bumrush the 営業
清掃してフィエスタ　ウエスタン帽にポリエスタ
シャツ えりだけ巨大 check the スニーカーの素材
わに革 I'm the man of the hour
君たちビリ like Jean and not my
lover, シャバダバ it's past eleven
フリスビーにするぜ ワックな皿
your style's cheesy and gay it's チーカマ
I blanky jet through your city 今日はサタデー
we gets dumb and dumber

踊り続けさせて ねえ DJ won't you come again
フロアーをもっと熱く 響かせて
Yeah, 朝までまわし続けて 帰りたくないから止めないで

it's Friday I want to play,
on Saturday don't want to stay, at home
thinking of you so let me party all night long.

I know, I know. Today is Saturday and not Friday, but the sentiment is the same. I want to play!

Anyways, below is my attempt on the translation. I've pretty much disregarded VERBAL's rap, and just concentrated on LISA's part. It ain't very good, but I tried to maintain the nuance of the lyric.

it's Friday I want to play,
on Saturday don't want to stay, at home
thinking of you so let me party all night long,
it's Friday I want to play,
on Saturday don't want to waste no more time on you
so let me party all night long,

Many times I check my messages but you won't appear
I should call you but my pride gets in the way
my friends keep telling me you ain't good for me
like, “Forget that guy,”
“Girl there's so much to see”
“There’s a chance you’ll meet a good guy”

At Friday’s Scala, I’ll dance the night away to forget you, tonight,
I'll sing you this song, to reach you,
With this sad melody, shedding not a drop of tear, keeping my cool
Let me go on dancing, DJ, won't you come again
Heat up the floor
Yeah, keep on spinning ‘til morning, and don’t stop ‘coz I don’t want to go home.

Even though I wait this long for you, I still get dissed
If I’m a bore why don't you let me go

My friends keep telling me I should find someone
Who’s not cold, but kind
a special one who'd treat you respectfully,
‘coz that’s the way it should be

Before the night is through, someone, who is lovelier than you, and I, tonight,
we'll sing you this song, yes, gently
the two of us as close as can be, our bodies touching
Let me go on dancing, DJ, won't you come again
Heat up the floor
Yeah, keep on spinning ‘til morning, and don’t stop ‘coz I don’t want to go home.

Let me go on dancing, DJ, won't you come again
Heat up the floor
Yeah, keep on spinning ‘til morning, and don’t stop ‘coz I don’t want to go home.

it's Friday I want to play,
on Saturday don't want to stay, at home
thinking of you so let me party all night long.

Well, also, on a side note, today's my birthday. Argh!


Addendum: The night was great fun! Started with a great dinner and ended with me walking out to a bright mid-morning sky after a hard night of dancing. Later on, I did get rained on, though, as soon as I got out of the subway station. (05/22/05)
