An impromptu song that Reeve invented when putting Pi-tan to bed.

The melody is to Schubert’s Lullaby.¹

I really hate myself

     Watas.h.i.+ wa Jibun ga Tottemo Kiraida

Because everyone hates me

     Nazenara Minna waTas.h.i.+ o kiRaukara

I am probably bad

     Watas.h.i.+ wa warui ko tabun wa rui koda

I do not have anywhere I belong

Watas.h.i.+ wa Dokoni mo Iba shoganainda

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

     Asoko mo Koko demo Watas.h.i.+ wa Nokemono

Everyone looks at me with hatred

     Minna no meSen ga Watas.h.i.+ o Kirau no

That’s why I will torture them

     Dakara waTas.h.i.+ hakaRera o iJimeruno

And eat their arms² and s.h.i.+elds

     Karera n.o.buki toka Yoroi o Taberuno

Then one day a gold girl came

     Aru toki Kiniro Musume ga Kitanda

She showed me a dagger

     Watas.h.i.+ ni Daga– o Sas.h.i.+das.h.i.+Tandayo

I s.n.a.t.c.hed it away and ate

     Watas.h.i.+ wa Daga– o Ubatte Tabetano

The girl looked at me and smiled

     Musume wa Watas.h.i.+ o Mitsumete Hohoemu

     Musume wa Watas.h.i.+ o Mitsumete Hohoemu

Then the girl suddenly hit me

     Musume wa Watas.h.i.+ o Ikinari Nagutta

It didn’t hurt much at all

     Itaku wa Nainda Itami wa Nainda

However it was the first time I was. .h.i.t

     Dakedo waTas.h.i.+ 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

     Watas.h.i.+ wa Musume ga Osoros.h.i.+Ku natta

The girl did nothing but hit me

     Musume wa Hitasura Watas.h.i.+ o Naguruno

My eyes saw nothing but her hitting me

     Watas.h.i.+ no Me o mite Hitasura Naguruno

I protected my head

     Watas.h.i.+ wa Jibun no Atama oKabauno

I protected my head

     Watas.h.i.+ wa Jibun no Atama oKabauno

Then the girl took me in her arms

     Sos.h.i.+tara Musume ga Watas.h.i.+ o Daitano

I am thrilled to be in her heart

     Sokode wa Tokutoku s.h.i.+nzou Natteru

The girl gives me love

     Musume wa Watas.h.i.+ o Ais.h.i.+te Kuretano

I felt love for the first time

     Watas.h.i.+ wa Hajimete Ais.h.i.+te Moraeta

The place I belong is a big basket

     Watas.h.i.+ no Ibasho wa ōkina Kagonano

I like lying here

     Koko de waTas.h.i.+ wa suKina you Ni neruno

Sometimes someone cradles me

     Yoru wa daReka ga waTas.h.i.+ o daKko suru

And then I enjoy a bath

     Sos.h.i.+te waTas.h.i.+ wa oFuro o taNos.h.i.+muno

I am very happy now

     Watas.h.i.+ wa Tottemo s.h.i.+awaseNandayo

Gold, Blue, Red, Black,

     Kiniro Aoiro Akairo Kuroiro

White, everyone pets me gently

     s.h.i.+roiro Minna ga Watas.h.i.+ o Naderuno

I am happy. I am happy.

     Watas.h.i.+ wa s.h.i.+awase Watas.h.i.+ wa s.h.i.+awase

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.
