作詞・作曲：椎名林檎／編曲：亀田誠治・椎名林檎

ちっぼけで汚らしい動物　雌
一体生まれてから二十年弱
生きて来たのだろうか 其の上
只　易々と泳いで行くのかしら

chippoke de kitanarashii doubutsu mesu
ittai umarete kara nijuu nen jaku
ikitekita no darou ka　sono ue
tada　yasuyasu to　oyoide yuku no kashira
oyoide yuku no kashira

たったいま頂戴した言葉　其れ
一体どういう意味を持つのですか
「愛している」と云う腕の中で
只 易々と 泳いで行くのかしら

tattaima choudai s___a kotoba sore
ittai dou iu imi o motsu no desu ka
"aishiteiru" to iu ude no naka de
tada　yasuyasu to　oyoide yuku no kashira
oyoide yuku no kashira

あたしが足の指五本　踵一個
不思議もなく此処にへばりつける
此のことを詳しく説明して下さいな
唇ばかりをそう見つめる前に

atashi ga ashi no yubi gohon　kakato ikko　fushigi mo naku koko ni hebaritsukeru
kono koto o kuwashiku setsumei s___ekudasai na
kuchibiru bakari o sou mitsumeru mae ni

はっきりしないあたしの生態　雌
一体　生まれる迄歴史などが
少しでも働いたと　云えるの
只　安々と　泳くだけなら

hakkiri shinai atashi no seitai　mesu
ittai　umareru made rekishi nado ga
sukoshidemo ugoita to　ieru no
tada　yasuyasu to　oyogu dake nara
oyogu dake nara

あたしが届かない雲の彼方に
不思議も無く厳かに構える
日のことを詳しく説明してくださいな
手を取り優しくそう捕らえる前に

atashi ga todokanai k__o no kanata ni fushigi mo naku ogosoka ni kamaeru
hi no koto o kuwashiku setsumei s___ekudasai na
te o tori yasashiku sou tsukamaeru mae ni

あたしが足の指五本　踵一個
不思議もなく此処にへばりつける
此のことを詳しく説明して下さいな
唇ばかりをそう見つめる前に

atashi ga ashi no yubi gohon　kakato ikko　fushigi mo naku koko ni hebaritsukeru
kono koto o kuwashiku setsumei s___ekudasai na
kuchibiru bakari o sou mitsumeru mae ni

_______________________________

I'm a small, dirty female animal
It's just under twenty years since I was born
Have I actually lived those years?
Or am I just swimming idly through them?

Those words I wanted now
What on earth do they mean?
Am I just swimming idly in your arms
Where you'll say "I love you"?

Five of my toes, one of my heels, there's no mystery, they're stuck in this place
Explain this in detail
Before I just stare at your lips

I'm female, my mode of life unclear
Can you say that history
Has moved even a little since I was born
If I'm just idly swimming along?

With no mystery, I solemnly prepare to go beyond the clouds I can't reach
Explain today in detail
Before you take my hand and gently take me prisoner

Five of my toes, one of my heels, there's no mystery, they're stuck in this place
Explain this in detail
Before I just stare at your lips
