Matsuda Seiko Lyrics: Wagamama na Kataomoi (わがままな片思い; A Selfish, One-Sided Love)

English translation and romanization below the cut.

ENGLISH

TIC TAC, the clock of my heart Hurries along every time we meet I read the second hand like a rocket My heart is pounding But my pride's getting in my way There’s no way I could ever tell you that I like you

There’s as many nice girls around you As there are stars in the sky Maybe if I act exceptionally indifferent, It’ll catch your eye I feel sad all of a sudden Every time you’ve got another girl with you But I won’t let it show on my face

Beep beep beepーa selfish, one-sided love I love you, I really do

The seat next to you is empty But I’m not gonna sit in it I put on a disinterested face Deep into chit-chatting with someone else Not that I’m shy or anything I just chase after you with sidelong glances I won’t talk to you

Beep beep beepーa selfish, one-sided love I love you, I really do A selfish, one-sided love I love you, I really do

There’s nothing I can do about you hating me I know I’ve got a warped personality I just can’t bring myself to start running towards you

Beep beep beepーa selfish, one-sided love I love you, I really do A selfish, one-sided love I love you, I really do

Failures of Translation

The meeting of the Forerunner’s Friendship Society ended with the vote:

“All in favour of changing the societies name and purpose to Forerunner Freedom Submission signify by banging your head into your desk!” The impassioned cadet’s voice rose as a challenge to the packed classroom.

The sound of banging heads filled the room, as the members pounded themselves into the blessed oblivion of Forerunner one-ness while the executive council met in whispered session.

“Jerome, we don’t even know how to contact a blessed Forerunner, nor how to speak the holy tongue to convey our surrender to the First and Proper folk!” The sharp faced girl had a point, but the beatific smile of her leader calmed her fears as he answered.

“Do not fear, brother Anwar is right now in the unholy bar where a Clan pilot who had once been actually cloned to serve the Holy Crusade is even now supplying us with a translation program to carry our words to the Masters!” Jerome’s voice rang with visions of the Unity with the Forerunners, obscuring the girls whispered rejoinder.

“I still don’t understand how he could bear the holy tatoos of a Thrall and have turned his back on the purity and purpose of the Forerunners. Surely he must have had opportunity to escape by now and return to Drocha’s side?”

---- Dancing Dreadnought Bar and Grill-----

“Buddy, unless you have a batch tattoo like this one” the mecha pilot showed the inside of his left forearm where 7448801 was tattooed and barcoded “you are not one of my batch brothers and sisters, you did not get your ass kicked by the Clans after Faction War and were not lucky enough to crawl from the scrap as one of the 1% that lived to fight another day. I have brothers, three of them, and two sisters.”

The pilot glared at the cadet puppy who had been buying him drinks and food all week. The kid was desperate for stories of the Forerunners, claimed he was writing a paper on their language and would pay for translation help. He wasn’t asking the right questions though, and Kane 24 thought he was one of those sick dweebs who idolized the Forerunners. Like that Bennington creep.

“Listen kid, if I didn’t have to hock everything but my sidearm to pay to level up my damned machines, I wouldn’t be wasting my time with you at all. The tattoos you can copy to your hearts content, you got them wrong by the way, the tattoos denote your unit affiliation, they are not about loyalty, they are a product label on a trade good. You want me to translate your phrases? As long as you are buying the drinks, I will translate your phrases. Now what did you need to say to old Drocha and Benny-boy?”

Cadet Anwar smiled at pilot Kane 24’s forthright answer, and quit dancing around the subject. He extended a data slate with a list of phrases they needed translated. Kane eyed the list and grinned for the first time. A wide happy smile that made Cadet Anwar think he really did still share the joy of submission to the Forerunners.

Kane 24 cracked his knuckles and began typing and chanting into the microphone. It was important to get the inflection right in Forerunner, and getting the right accents on a standard keyboard took most clones about a week to get right. You got recycled if you didn’t so most studied hard. Kane hadn’t forgotten anything.

-----Yomi Reefs-----

The FFS: Forerunner Freedom Submission mecha force was on the move. Their sixteen mecha had crushed the defense squadron on the gates, screaming their war cries in carefully memorized Forerunner.

“Drocha et gadular! Bennington Fly’t yar degra floo!”

The squadron behind its proud leader moved deeper into the reefs until it picked up the holy sign; Forerunner language! Moving to visual range, they opened communication with their carefully recorded introduction.

“Y’bet Drocha, S’lar obvet nar h’kul. Thrall mkoll d’kul”

The response was not expected, the Forerunners immediately opened fire! They were rejected! They were not worthy of submission!

“No, no. It’s a test, it must be a test. The Masters are trying to make us prove we are worthy of being in the Horde. Fight hard, prove we are worthy to surrender to the Forerunners!” The Glorious Leader burned with passion as he triggered his weapons and charged. The war cry was on his lips.

“Drocha et gadular! Bennington Fly’t yar degra floo!”

------Drocha’s base: After action report-----

Bennington slammed the dataslate to the table.

“The Unification Army doesn’t get this kind of disrespect! I want the FFS hunted down and exterminated. No cultist is to talk to them, all transmissions are to be jammed. This ABOMINATION must be stamped out before the Master hears it”

The translations burned on his screen

“Drocha et gadular! Bennington Fly’t yar degra floo!”

Drocha wears garter belts. Bennington rubs lotion on his tush.

It is not Master’s fault that the Forerunner compression hose for keeping blood in the body trunk looks like human female lingerie. No one was supposed to know that Master sustained radiation burns from his failed attempt to use the Chroniode to escape into time. Only Bennington was trusted to administer the burn crème to the parts burned my Master’s seat. No one should have known…..

“Y’bet Drocha, S’lar obvet nar h’kul. Thrall mkoll d’kul”

Screw Drocha, Forerunner’s smell like ass. We are going to kick your Thrall asses!

Master must never suspect that his “nutritional supplements” are Tic-Tacs. No one must ever mention that Forerunner breath is as foul as their words are strong.

Turning to his commanders Bennington delivered the orders:

“Alert all cult members, this FFS wherever it exists must be wiped out. No communications may be accepted, no surrenders accepted, nor parleys offered. This ABOMINATION gets wiped out!”
