Pi-tan’s Lullaby

An impromptu song that Reeve invented when putting Pi-tan to bed.
The melody is to Schubert’s Lullaby.¹

I really hate myself
     Watashi wa Jibun ga Tottemo Kiraida
Because everyone hates me
     Nazenara Minna waTashi o kiRaukara
I am probably bad
     Watashi wa warui ko tabun wa rui koda
I do not have anywhere I belong
Watashi wa Dokoni mo Iba shoganainda

I am over there and over here, but I am a monster


     Asoko mo Koko demo Watashi wa Nokemono
Everyone looks at me with hatred
     Minna no meSen ga Watashi o Kirau no
That’s why I will torture them
     Dakara waTashi hakaRera o iJimeruno
And eat their arms² and shields
     Karera noBuki toka Yoroi o Taberuno

Then one day a gold girl came
     Aru toki Kiniro Musume ga Kitanda
She showed me a dagger
     Watashi ni Daga– o SashidashiTandayo
I snatched it away and ate
     Watashi wa Daga– o Ubatte Tabetano
The girl looked at me and smiled
     Musume wa Watashi o Mitsumete Hohoemu

Then the girl suddenly hit me
     Musume wa Watashi o Ikinari Nagutta
It didn’t hurt much at all
     Itaku wa Nainda Itami wa Nainda
However it was the first time I was hit
     Dakedo waTashi wa haJimete naGurareta
But it was the first time someone met my gaze
     Mesen o AwaseraReta no mo Hajimete

I became deeply afraid of the girl
     Watashi wa Musume ga OsoroshiKu natta
The girl did nothing but hit me
     Musume wa Hitasura Watashi o Naguruno
My eyes saw nothing but her hitting me
     Watashi no Me o mite Hitasura Naguruno
I protected my head
     Watashi wa Jibun no Atama oKabauno

Then the girl took me in her arms
     Soshitara Musume ga Watashi o Daitano
I am thrilled to be in her heart
     Sokode wa Tokutoku Shinzou Natteru
The girl gives me love
     Musume wa Watashi o Aishite Kuretano
I felt love for the first time
     Watashi wa Hajimete Aishite Moraeta

The place I belong is a big basket
     Watashi no Ibasho wa ōkina Kagonano
I like lying here
     Koko de waTashi wa suKina you Ni neruno
Sometimes someone cradles me
     Yoru wa daReka ga waTashi o daKko suru
And then I enjoy a bath
     Soshite waTashi wa oFuro o taNoshimuno

I am very happy now
     Watashi wa Tottemo ShiawaseNandayo
Gold, Blue, Red, Black,
     Kiniro Aoiro Akairo Kuroiro
White, everyone pets me gently
     Shiroiro Minna ga Watashi o Naderuno
I am happy. I am happy.
     Watashi wa Shiawase Watashi wa Shiawase

2. Just in case, I wanted to make sure everyone knew that arms here meant weapons. Pi-tan was not eating anyone’s actual arms.
