The Watanabes - Love Princess Lyrics
I recall the day I came to stay in my beloved Ehime.There wasn’t much I could say to express my confusionAt least in Japanese anyway.I was struck by the smell of the staff-roomAnd the dog-like procedure involved when I went to the bathroom.It was a struggle back then.But now I’ve learned to use the toilet,And now after failing 2-kyu I can speak nihongo, or whatever they call it.Now I can ask a girl for her phone numberAnd after 12 long months I’m pretty bloody good at ikebana.I recall the day I came to stay in my beloved Ehime.There wasn’t much I could say to express my confusionAt least in Japanese anyway.I was struck by the smell of the staff-roomAnd the dog-like procedure involved when I went to the bathroom.It was a struggle back then.When I arrived in my town, they said"There’s a super(market) down the road, and it’s not too far"It took two hours by train and another hour by car.I made a nice group of friends in my town,They were a very friendly bunch,But they didn’t get let out of the old peoples home that much.But now I’ve made friends my own age,And now I can read a menu,Well at least the first page.And now I understand that people don’t mean to be dicks,When they say with a patronizing smile, that I’m good with chopsticks.I have grown to love the love princess,I just wish I had a little more success with the opposite sex,Or if I was gay then with the same sex.
