If by chance cats could talk, I wonder what would they say first? Fish bones are way too tough! [1]
Please stop comparing the length of my tail to other cats' It hurts my feelings, you know.
For you, we keep our bodies in shape and our fur in place. So, please stop brushing us the wrong way.
Even more than gentle people, we like people who are peaceful. That's the kind of basically steady personalities we have.
Just the two of us, dozing together in the afternoon... The winter light stretching out long... If only we could stay close like this for the rest of our lives...
[Instrumental]
I've always wanted to ask you just once: where do you catch that "bonito?" [2]
For you, we catch mice, (catch caterpillars) catch dragonflies, (and frogs and such) so, please stop throwing them out as if they were disgusting.
Though roads are dark in the evening, we can lead you anywhere. That's the kind of basically caring personalities we have.
I had a dream you became a brave white boy-cat coming out to meet me. But, the magic dissolved right away.
Just the two of us, dozing together in the afternoon... The winter light stretching out long... If only we could stay close like this (close to you) for the rest of our lives.
