English:
If by chance cats could talk,
I wonder what
would they say first?
Fish bones
are way too tough!
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...
I've always wanted to ask you just once:
where do you catch
that "bonito?"
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.
