Denki o keshite genki o chaaji.

English Translation

Let’s turn off the light and charge ourselves with energy.

Now seems to begin

[[a hilarious ☆ midnight.]]

Let’s write “serious” and read it as “really”.

It’s time to get hyper under the sparkling mirror ball.

Squid, squid. I want to eat squid arms.

I prefer dried squid.

No, no. It makes you like a middle-aged man.

Why don’t we choose cute sweets?

Hey, boys and girls,

packing lots of your sweets and your dreams,

now gather

in my house! It’s a party night.

You and me.
[[You and me.]]

Tonight is a cheerful,
[[hilarious ☆ midnight.]]

Curfew,
[[Closing time,]]

no, no, non.
[[no way!]]

It continues still more.
[[Glittering bright!]]

Let’s turn off the light and charge ourselves with energy.

Now seems to begin
[[a hilarious ☆ midnight.]]

Let’s write “serious” and read it as “really”.

It’s time to get hyper under the sparkling mirror ball.

eating lots of the sweets and the dreams,

now jump out

of my house! It’s a party time.

But now is coming the climax.

My eyes get bleary, I rub them, and “Really?”

Lst’s write “serious” and read it as “really”.

BABYMETAL Uki Uki ☆ Midnight song Fact

• About To Write "Serious" And Read It As "Really"

"To write X and read it as Y" is an idiom. Japanese people usually write "煙草"(lit. kemuri kusa; smoke grass) and read it as "tabako" (= cigarette), and there are many such cases. In a famous violent manga "Hokuto no Ken" (1983-88), the author wrote "強敵" (strong enemy) and read it as "とも" (mate) to express that they felt some sympathy while they fought to death. There are also many such cases.

Then, "honki" means "serious" and "maji" means "serious" or "real". This song's "maji" is attached to "age-poyo", and "maji age-poyo" sounds like "getting really hyper". The phrase "honki to kaite" (= to write "serious" and (read it as) ) is omissible. I guess the lyric writer attached it to emphasize something like the will to get hyper.

• About Dried Squid and Cute Sweets

In the section starting with "Geso" (Squid), the latter two lines are the words of other girl(s) than the girl who likes dried squid. Actually MOAMETAL said something like the former two lines, and SU-METAL & YUIMETAL said something like the latters. In a radio program, they talked about their party with cute sweets and dried squid scattered on the bed at the night of their trip. Someone, hearing of this episode, must have directed the lyric writer to incorporate it.

• About some Japanese terms on lyrics

"Uki uki" represents some joyful state. "Uki" itself means "floating" (on the water, in the air, etc).

"Surume" refers to dried squid. They are supplied as whole body, as shredded pieces, or as bunch of arms. Chewing surume and drinking sake is a traditional style of Japanese old-and-middle-aged men.

"Atashi-n-chi" is a contraction of "watashi no uchi", so thats translated to "in my house"

"Shobo shobo" represents the state of bleary eyes. "Omeme" is a childish form of "me" (= eye)
