Today I decided to do something regrettable. I google translated my favorite song from the school idol anime Love Live. While I haven’t watched the anime, I have played the mobile game, and listened to many of their songs. Over time, I have found that Printemps “Puwa-Puwa-o” is my go-to song. Something about it is so inspiring. It has a very energetic tone, and a nice beat. Very positive all around.
However- I have absolutely no clue what its about. I mean, it could be talking about the 500 ways to walk out of a door wearing gucci flip flops. Unlikely- but possible.
SO! today i want to find the true meaning of the song! and from none other than our 100% accurate, totally reliable, Google Translate.
Here are some of my favorite lines… the ones of which I will attempt to derive some meaning from.
“Scissors Ski Genuine Shake it!
I want to see wings sooner
Please catch me when you find me (Puwakuwakuwakuwa)
Only one LOVE YES!
do not wake me up!
There is nobody BABY”
Some may say this holds no meaning. I beg to differ. This can hold so much meaning and value. For example- “Scissors Ski Genuine Shake it!” can represent someone facing their fears. scissors. Cut through your fears, face them head on with your head held high. Maybe in this case, you are afraid of skiing. Climb your own personal mountains as you climb up the hill you will ski down, and let go. Be genuine, and shake the world. one small hill for you, one giant leap for humanity. Brave, strong, powerful. Scissors ski genuine shake it.
“I want to see wings sooner” can be taken in 2 ways. Perhaps the singer wishes to find a holy meaning in their life, and meet an angel. However this could also represent a better day. When the sun shines, and the birds chirp, many are able to bring that joy into their day, and further their quality of life.
Further down, I would like to highlight the phrase “Do not wake me up.” Which can suggest that the singer wishes to get a full nights sleep. Getting the recommended hours of sleep per night can have many health benefits, and can help one function at a higher rate than what they may usually do.
Therefore, the song “Puwa Puwa-o” is about staying healthy and becoming the best version of yourself. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
wow. what a 100 percent accurate translation. gotta love google!
