Chapter 61

Pi-tan’s Lullaby

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

The melody is to Schubert’s Lullaby.¹

I really hate myself

Watashi wa Jibun ga Tottemo Kiraida

Because everyone hates me

Nazenara Minna waTashi o kiRaukara

I am probably bad

Watashi wa warui ko tabun wa rui koda

I do not have anywhere I belong

Watashi wa Dokoni mo Iba shoganainda

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

Asoko mo Koko demo Watashi wa Nokemono

Everyone looks at me with hatred

Minna no meSen ga Watashi o Kirau no

That’s why I will torture them

Dakara waTashi hakaRera o iJimeruno

And eat their arms² and shields

Karera noBuki toka Yoroi o Taberuno

Then one day a gold girl came

Aru toki Kiniro Musume ga Kitanda

She showed me a dagger

Watashi ni Daga– o SashidashiTandayo

I snatched it away and ate

Watashi wa Daga– o Ubatte Tabetano

The girl looked at me and smiled

Musume wa Watashi o Mitsumete Hohoemu

Musume wa Watashi o Mitsumete Hohoemu

Then the girl suddenly hit me

Musume wa Watashi o Ikinari Nagutta

It didn’t hurt much at all

Itaku wa Nainda Itami wa Nainda

However it was the first time I was hit

Dakedo waTashi 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

Watashi wa Musume ga OsoroshiKu natta

The girl did nothing but hit me

Musume wa Hitasura Watashi o Naguruno

My eyes saw nothing but her hitting me

Watashi no Me o mite Hitasura Naguruno

I protected my head

Watashi wa Jibun no Atama oKabauno

I protected my head

Watashi wa Jibun no Atama oKabauno

Then the girl took me in her arms

Soshitara Musume ga Watashi o Daitano

I am thrilled to be in her heart

Sokode wa Tokutoku Shinzou Natteru

The girl gives me love

Musume wa Watashi o Aishite Kuretano

I felt love for the first time

Watashi wa Hajimete Aishite Moraeta

The place I belong is a big basket

Watashi no Ibasho wa ōkina Kagonano

I like lying here

Koko de waTashi wa suKina you Ni neruno

Sometimes someone cradles me

Yoru wa daReka ga waTashi o daKko suru

And then I enjoy a bath

Soshite waTashi wa oFuro o taNoshimuno

Yoru wa daReka ga waTashi o daKko suru

And then I enjoy a bath

Soshite waTashi wa oFuro o taNoshimuno

I am very happy now

Watashi wa Tottemo ShiawaseNandayo

Gold, Blue, Red, Black,

Kiniro Aoiro Akairo Kuroiro

White, everyone pets me gently

Shiroiro Minna ga Watashi o Naderuno

I am happy. I am happy.

Watashi wa Shiawase Watashi wa Shiawase

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.
