Lyrics:
くるくると回っては理由（わけ）ない気持ち
kurukuru to mawatte wa wakenai kimochi
My reasonless feelings turn round and round

うすうすと分かるあたしの邪魔な気持ち
usu usu to wakaru umidasenai atashi no jyama na kimochi
I begin to understand my interfering feelings

少し遠いとろまで　誰も知らないあたしたちのこと
sukoshi tooisoi tokomade dare mo shiranai atashitachi no koto
Take me to a place just a little far away where no one knows us

そんな世界へ生きていけるように　連れて行って
sonna sekai he ikite ikeru youni tsurete itte
So that I can go on living in this kind of world


あなたのメロディーにそっと　あたしが奏でる音は
anata no merodi ni sotto atashi no kanaderu oto wa
The note that I play softly in your melody

とろけるような恋しい味　見えるのは知らないトコ
torokeru you na koishii aji ima mieru no wa shiranai toko
Has an almost enchanting, beloved taste I can see an unknown place


海の底泳いで　たどりつけば　つらいことに泣いて
umi no soko oyoide tadoritsukeba tsurai koto ni naite
If I struggle on to the bottom of the sea, crying because of the difficult things

あなたに出会い　誰かを幸せにする喜びがある
anata ni deai dareka wo shiawase ni suru yorokobi ga aru
I'll be glad just to meet you, just to have made someone happy


ねぇ気付かないうちに　あたしのほほはピンク色
nee kizukanai uchi ni atashi no hoho wa pinku iro
Hey, without my noticing, my cheeks turned pink

どぉしてだと思う？
dooshite da to omou?
Why do you think that was?


あなたのメロディーに　そっと揺られてあたしも踊る
anata no merodi ni sotto yurarete atashi mo odoru
Rocked softly in your melody, I also dance

一番きれいな光浴びて　今　いる緑のお皿
ichiban kirei na hikari abite ima iru midori no osara
Basking in the most beautiful light, now, there is a green plate


あなたのメロディーにそっと　あたしが奏でる音は
anata no merodi ni sotto atashi no kanaderu oto wa
The note that I play softly in your melody

とろけるような恋しい味　見えるのは知らないトコ
torokeru you na koishii aji ima mieru no wa shiranai toko
Has an almost enchanting, beloved taste I can see an unknown place


La　La　La ........
La La La.......
La La La...

怖がらず上がれ　光舞台
wagarazu agare hikari butai
Without being afraid, I'll go up to the lit stage

今見えるのは　知らないトコ
ima mieru no wa shiranai toko
Now I can see an unknown place

Translation Notes:
Blue doesn't normally translate the titles of the song so the translated title for this was done by me; vllasko. I translated "Hon Maguro Naka Toro" as "a tasty morsel of raw fish." I believe "Hon Maguro Chuu Toro" is also correct; if not more proper. I've never eaten this thing so I really can't say... It's sort of an interpreted translation since "hon maguro" implies literally "real fish" or a "high grade of fish." "naka toro" is just a type of maguro; one that is more on the fatty side of maguro; therefore more tasty.

The full name of the song is "Hon Maguro Naka Toro 300 Yen (midori iro)." The part in parenthesis, "midori iro" means "green color."
