PRINCESS PRINCESS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ウロウロとオリの中
もつれた髪につきまとう
ハウリングも止まらない
しくじるはずはない
ずっとやってこれたじゃない
退屈なジョークを抜け出す
出口はひとつだけ
あのバスに乗りどこか遠くへ
朝もやの向こう 街が見えた
さあ はじまるよ
Oh yeah! 抱きしめたい
あなたの住む ブリキの城
Oh yeah! 火をつけたい
会いに来たわ
Are you ready tonight?
Oh yeah! 抱きしめたい
あなたの声 もっと聞かせて
Oh yeah! 泳ぎたいの
ライトの海 wow wow, let me go
0ではじまる電話は
ホテルじゃスロットマシーン
おやすみのキスか 大ゲンカ
どちらかは運任せ
昨日の涙は 朝には誰も気づかない
出番を待つコスチュームが
勝手に踊りだす
胸が高なり ちょっと震えてる
指輪外して ベルが鳴れば
Three, two, one, let's go
Oh yeah! 抱きしめたい
あなたの住む ブリキの城
Oh yeah! 火をつけたい
会いに来たわ are you ready tonight?
Oh yeah! 抱きしめたい
あなたの声 もっと聞かせて

Are you ready tonight?
The lyrics of “Oh! Yeah!” by PRINCESS PRINCESS conveys the emotions of a sleepless night where the singer cannot find peace within herself. She finds herself wandering around aimlessly and in the middle of an identity crisis, as indicated by her tangled hair and the persistent howling. However, she reminds herself that she has always made it through tough times and wouldn't fail now. And, she decides to break free from the monotony of life and take a bus to a faraway place where the misty city was visible beyond. From there, she embarks on a new journey of self-discovery, love, and adventure.
The chorus of the song is an indication of the singer's eagerness to connect with her lover. She longs to hold him, visit his tin castle and listen to his voice attentively. She wants to take a dip in the sea of lights, far away from their mundane life, and feel free. The second verse highlights the importance of taking chances and being prepared for uncertainty in life. It's a reminder that tears shed yesterday may go unnoticed tomorrow, and one should be ready to embrace new opportunities, even if they mean throwing caution to the wind.
Overall, the song has an uplifting and energetic feel, inspiring the listeners to take a leap of faith and find the courage to follow their dreams. The upbeat melody and infectious chorus make it a catchy and easy-to-dance-to song that stands the test of time.

A sleepless night followed by wandering around in a cage
Even the howling that haunts tangled hair does not stop
You can't fail to do it, you've been doing it all along
Get out of boring jokes There is only one way out
[0:54]
I took that bus somewhere far away
Through the morning haze I could see the city
Here it comes
[1:12]
OH YEAH! I want to hug your tin castle where you live
OH YEAH! I'm here to light you up and to see you! Are you ready tonight?
OH YEAH! I want to hold you in my arms and I want to hear more of your voice
OH YEAH! I want to swim in the sea of lights and let me go
[1:51]
Telephones that begin with zero are slot machines in hotels
Goodnight kisses or big fights, whichever is more likely
Yesterday's tears will not be noticed by anyone in the morning
Costumes dancing on their own accord, waiting for their turn
[2:19]
Chest high, a little shaky
When the ring is off and the bell rings,
3-2-1 LET'S GO!
[2:37]
OH YEAH! I want to hug your tin castle where you live
OH YEAH! I want to light a fire and I'm here to see you! Are you ready tonight?

OH YEAH! [1990] Princess Princess
Released on April 21, 1990 by Sony Records Japan.
Words: Kanako Nakayama Music: Kaori Okui
Arranged by Princess Princess
The 9th single of Princess Princess
(English translation of the rough meaning of the Japanese lyrics)
I've been having sleepless nights for a while now,
It's like I'm wandering around in a cage
My tangled hair is howling and it's loud like it won't stop
We can't mess up, we've been doing fine for so long
There's only one way out of this boring joke of a day
We'll get on that bus and go somewhere far away
I can see the city through the morning mist.
(OH YEAH!) I wanna hold you in my arms, in the tin castle where you live
(OH YEAH!) I wanna light you on fire, I've come to see you
Are you ready tonight?
(OH YEAH!) I wanna hold you, I wanna hear more of your voice
(OH YEAH!) I wanna swim in the light blue sea Wow wow let me go
Phone numbers that start with a zero are slot machines at the hotel.
We can kiss goodnight or have a big fight, it's up to you.
Yesterday's tears will be gone in the morning and no one will even notice
As I wait for my cue, my costume seems to dance on its own
My heart is racing, I'm shaking a little in anticipation
Take off the ring, and when the bell rings, 3-2-1, LET'S GO
(OH YEAH!) I wanna hold you in my arms, in the tin castle where you live
(OH YEAH!) I wanna light you on fire, I've come to see you
Are you ready tonight?
(OH YEAH!) I wanna hold you, I wanna hear more of your voice
(OH YEAH!) I wanna swim in the light blue sea, Wow wow let me go
(OH YEAH!) I wanna hold you, I wanna hold you this night
(OH YEAH!) I wanna set your heart on fire, I wanna burn us both out
Hey let me go!
(OH YEAH!) I wanna hold you, I wanna be in your arms this night
(OH YEAH!) I wanna set your heart on fire, We're gonna burn up together Hey let me go
(OH YEAH!) I wanna hold you, in the tin castle where you live
(OH YEAH!) I wanna set you on fire, I've come to see you
Are you ready tonight?
