Gotoh Maki: Afurechau...Be In Love

01.10.11
Artist: Gotoh Maki
Title: Afurechau...Be In Love (Gonna Overflow...Be In Love)
Words: Tsunku
Music: Tsunku

Are you saying "love" for real?
Or just trying to decieve me?
You're different than the guys I've been around till now
... love is scary.
CRAZY MY BABY

We've kissed and hugged
but something's missing.
I'm not unhappy about it, put a spell on me
tears are a wonderous thing.
beloved, beloved
gonna overflow... BE IN LOVE

Even though I ask selfishly,
you're the type to easily give in to whatever I want.
If I keep going on this happy,
won't I be scared when it breaks?
CRAZY MY BABY

Words and gestures
just aren't enough
Make me feel like there's nowhere else to go
gimme more gimme more
beloved, beloved
gonna overflow... BE IN LOVE

COME ON! CRAZY MY BABY
Oh CRAZY MY BABY
CRAZY FOR YOU
'CAUSE I'M IN LOVE

Translator's Notes: It was a bitter battle but we finally just went with the dictionary translation of afureru..."overflow". We kept looking for something that might sound better, but in the end... "overflow" has the right ammount of double entendre and fits the feel of the song. If this were truly translated in english, I think it would be "So full of love, so full of love, I'm gonna burst" as it stands it will be "beloved beloved, gonna overflow" Doesn't this song bring out a new side of Gotoh Maki hmmm? Make me feel like there's nowhere else to go!? What kind of damsel-in-distress-fetish is Tsunku touting here!?
