P: Pa Pa Ya! by Baby Metal

 

Welcome AtoZ-ers and other blog friends! This month I'm participating in the AtoZ blogging challenge, and you'll see a post every day (except Sundays) about one of the Songs of my Heart. Today's edition: Pa Pa Ya! by Baby Metal.  (If my embedded video won't work, you can listen at this link).

 

Overall, I'm more punk than heavy metal, but there are moods, you know. And sometimes only metal will do. Baby Metal is one of my favorites because they intermix cute femininity and bad ass anger in a way that sometimes is just exactly what my brain needed.

Recently I got to go to one of their concerts with the youngest kiddo and damn, but they put on a good stage show, too! It was a really great night.

Since I don't speak any Japanese, it's all just feels and vibe for me. But in case you want to know what the song's words mean, this is what I found:

romanized Japanese lyrics from Genius:  Papa papaya Papa papaya Papa papaya Papa papaya Papa papa papa papaya Papa papa papa papaya Papa papa papa papaya Papa papa papa papaya [Verse 1: Su-Metal, F.HERO] Saikyou de saikou tte sainou ka? You know what? (Papa papa papa papaya) Zenshin to zenrei de onore wo kogase (Papa papa papa papaya) [Pre-Chorus: Su-Metal, F.HERO] Bring it on bring it! (Papa papaya) Bring it on bring it! (Papa papaya) Bring bring bring bring it! (Papa papaya) Bring bring bring bring it! [Chorus: Su-Metal, Moa-Metal] Matsuri da! Matsuri da! SPICY SUMMER SONG SONG Matsuri da! Matsuri da! CRAZY SUMMER DANCE DANCE Sawage! Sawage! Sawage! YO! PA PA YA BOYS Odore! Odore! Odore! PA! PA! PA PA YA GIRLS PAPAYA!! PAPAYA!!

English translation from lyricstranslate:  Is your talent the best yet strongest? You know what? Let yourself lit on fire, all through your body and soul!   Bring it on bring it!
