[English Version] 真夜中のシャドーボーイ (Mayonaka no Shadow Boy) - Hey! Say! JUMP
Mayonaka no Shadoo Booi (Midnight Shadow Boy - English Translation)
Please look over here, Cherry
No, not over there, Cherry
My wishes never reach you, is there any use?
Here and over there, Cherry
It's unclear which way, Cherry
Whenever you call my name, I just get confused
I want to be your cowboy in the midnight
No one else but you - I want to snatch away
If it's for the sake of protecting your smile
I don't care if I put my life on the line
I think I like you, Cherry
That is not a lie, Cherry
My feelings for you just grows more everyday
Come here quickly now, Cherry
For I'm waiting, oh Cherry
That bare skin of yours feels so smooth to touch
I hate it when they caress your skin
But you just naively let them flirt you now
I want to let you have that sweet and sour side of yours remain
(Shadow...)
I want to be your cowboy in the midnight
No one else but you - I want to tell you that
If it is what your heart does truly desire
I would take you anywhere you wish to go
Please look over here, Cherry
No, not over there, Cherry
My wishes never reach you, is there any use?
Here and over there, Cherry
It's unclear which way, Cherry
Whenever you call my name, I just get confused
No, please don't cheaply sell yourself
Tease me and make me fight for you
With what you're doing, your bright red round cheeks, to the waste they go
(Shadow...?)
I want to be your cowboy in the midnight
No one else but you - I want to snatch away
If it's for the sake of protecting your smile
I don't care if I put my life on the line
I want to be your cowboy in the midnight
No one else but you - I want to tell you that
If it is what your heart does truly desire
I would take you anywhere you wish to go
I want to love you, dear, just don't hurt me, please...
I want to love you, dear, just don't hurt me, please...
(Thanks to goro_chan of lj and to ndhaa of jpopasia.com ... My friend and I worked worked on this English translation so that it could be sung by the original Mayonaka no Shadow Boy tune. Please enjoy and feel free to comment!)
(By the way, this is the original translation we did or I mean, on my friend's (hsjluv93) presence. The above lyrics is actually the most recent translation that I did after referring to ndhaa's translation. The version below has only goro_chan's translation and our own little nihongo knowledge as references. At least you can tell which of the two versions has the better translation and which lyrics needs to be changed. The different parts are marked with asterisks (*). Thanks!)

*Which do you prefer, Cherry?

Come here quickly now, Cherry
