#Katsunda!

[redfreesias03]

Katsunda! (“Grab the Win!”)

“Since I’m so frustrated, I’ll just grab the win! Grab the win!  Like hell I’ll ever whine how ‘my life didn’t used to be like this’, I ain’t done yet!” 

OR: Even if your life isn’t all sunshine and rainbows, it’s YOUR life and you decide how it ends.

konna ni KITTSUI shigoto shiten no ni 「wa~ kyuuryou    yatsu!」 a~ ore tte nani yatten darou

I’m bustin’ my tail at work and yet   “Ughhh, I get paid squat!” Man, what am I even doing?

hisabisa kanojo ni denwa kaketara 「e~ wakarete hoshii!?」 a~ ore da mon    sorya sou daro

When I call up my girlfriend for the first time in awhile– “What? You wanna break up with me!?” Ah, the problem is me, huh    Of course it is

kyou mo hitori    nigiyaka na TEREBI mite    asu mo hayai kara neyou nanda yo    nasake nee na    kono toshi ni natte    namida ga afurete ki yagatta

Once again, I’m all alone     watching some noisy TV again    Tomorrow I gotta get up early again, so I’ll go to bed¹ What the heck? I’m pathetic   To have the nerve to burst into tears at my age

kurushii nara katsunda    katsunda    ore no jinsei wa 「konna mon ja nakatta」 nado itte tamaru ka! madamada

Since I’m so frustrated, I’ll just Grab the win! Grab the win!  Like hell I’ll ever whine how “My life didn’t used to be like this”, I ain’t done yet!

katsunda    katsunda    amakanee keredo kusari kitta kono jidai nozomu tokoro da!

I’ll grab the win! Grab the win! It ain’t all sunshine and rainbows, but This rotten era  is exactly where I want to be!

WOW WOW HAPPY FOR THE LIFE x3   OH YEAH    ore no jinsei da!

WOW WOW HAPPY FOR THE LIFE x3   OH YEAH    It's MY life!

naka ii AITSU wa kidzukeba ERIITO 「maji de MAIHOOMU!?」 a~ ore wa WAN RUUMU na no ni

By the time I notice it, my pals are already elites     “Seriously? You bought your own house!?” Man, and here I am, living in a one-room apartment

sorosoro oyakoukou shinakya dakedo 「wari~ nanimo dekinee」 a~ mou sukoshi naga ikishite kure

I’ve gotta start being a good son to my parents, but     “My bad, I ain’t good at nothing” Ah, just keep living a little longer, guys

itsu no hi ka ore mo shiawase ni nareta nara    subete no nayami wa kieru ka? oi! mate yo! chigau daro! ore no tatakai wa shinu made tsudzuiteiku ze!

If happiness just came my way as well one of these days, I wonder if all my problems would finally disappear? Hey, wait! That’s wrong! My battle continues until my last dying breath!

ikiru no nara katsunda    katsunda    ore no jinsei ni kitai shite nee yatsura wo mikaeshite yaru ze    mada mada

Since I’m alive, I’ll just Grab the win! Grab the win!  I’ll look back and laugh at those guys who Had no expectations for me in life, I ain’t done yet

katsunda    katsunda    amakanee keredo ichido kiri no kono jinsei makete tamaru ka!

I’ll grab the win! Grab the win! It ain’t all sunshine and rainbows, but You get one shot at life, like hell I’m giving up on mine!

WOW WOW HAPPY FOR THE LIFE x3   OH YEAH    ore no jinsei da!

WOW WOW HAPPY FOR THE LIFE x3   OH YEAH    It's MY life!

kuyashii nara    ikiru no nara... katsunda    katsunda    ore no jinsei wa 「konna mon ja nakatta」 nado itte tamaru ka! madamada

Since I’m so frustrated    Since I’m alive... I’ll grab the win! Grab the win!  Like hell I’ll ever whine how “My life didn’t used to be like this”, I ain’t done yet

katsunda    katsunda    amakanee keredo kusari kitta kono jidai nozomu tokoro da!

I’ll grab the win! Grab the win! It ain’t all sunshine and rainbows, but This rotten era  is where I wanna be!

WOW WOW HAPPY FOR THE LIFE x3 OH YEAH    ore no jinsei da

WOW WOW HAPPY FOR THE LIFE x3   OH YEAH    It's MY life!

WOW WOW HAPPY FOR THE LIFE x3 OH YEAH    ore no jinsei da x3

WOW WOW HAPPY FOR THE LIFE x3   OH YEAH    It's MY life! x3

¹ Edit: I fixed this line thanks to help from this anon. :)

No real notes, but this was apparently the ending theme for the Yatterman cartoon, from the viewpoint of the constantly-losing villains (if you’re not a Yatterman fan, think like, Team Rocket), so that’s pretty cute.

Kizuna fansub re-released Katsunda! 

but this time as a lovely Fudanjuku-through-the-ages type montage. Rediscover this classic, and see how much Fudanjuku has changed - and yet, has stayed the same ^-^

Katsunda anon here; your updated lyrics fixed a lot of the small things I was talking about, and I love it even more 😍 If you're looking for a nitpick though, 明日も早い means something more like "I gotta get up early again tomorrow" and for 仲良いあいつは気付けばエリート I think I'd write that as "Before I knew it, my pals'd already become elites" but really nothing drastically meaning-changing. Good job again!

Omg you're so nice, "I gotta get up early" totally changes the meaning

Thank you for the criticism, I've gone back and fixed it!

Hi! Found your blog after I saw a Fudanjuku tl you did. I wanted to translate Katsunda until I saw that it was already done. There were a few misinterpreted parts but they weren't major and I really loved the translation otherwise! Just wanted to let you know as a fellow translator how much I loved your writing style and the personality you put into it.

Ah, thank you for the kind words! There are a ton of songs with a lot of “personality” in them (see: every early Fudanjuku song by Hanawa ever), and I try my best not to lose that in the translation process, but I’m ridiculously bad at writing casual English, so I’m glad it got through.

I did Katsunda more than 6 years ago and even now I'm still really bad at "rough" speak so I'm not surprised there's a ton of mistakes in there. I've reuploaded a (hopefully?) better translation, but if you ever find you have the time, I'll always appreciate any corrections!

Also, feel absolutely free to translate anything I've ever done, partly because no one has a monopoly on lyrics outside of the actual original songwriters, but partly because I love seeing different translations to great songs out there. :)
