ペイデイ! — PEIDEI!

Since how many days have I been counting?
I created lists, what else do I want to do?
What will I do as my reward?
My imagination makes me excited
Speaking of which, this month
I really should get paid, for sure
Rustling on and about, I have it!
There is another delay in payment, oh my god
I do some calculations, just to make sure
Oh! My balance is pretty small, oh no no
It seems like I have to wait until another payday
I'll go and buy only the things that can't wait today

Because for the sake of this day,
I shed sweat every day
I overcome every difficult situation
that might arise
I'm being bossed about by the higher-ups,
who are really not that important
Even if I am in a little bit of an uncool position
If I only think about this day...!

This long awaited day,
I'll get all the things I want
I'll go to the places I want to go,
because it's my payday!
Due to my high spirits, I spend too much
I won't regret it after,
I simply don't mind,
enjoy my payday!

It's a payday, I can buy what I want
Favorite CD, records and books,
The gift that I wanted to give you
They all get in my hands, it's a payday
Payday, I can do what I want
Watching the movie I wanted to watch,
going to a baseball game,
the Italian restaurant we've decided to go to
Oh happy payday!

If it's my payday, then it's society's payday as well
I stop by an ATM, and line up behind ladies and gentlemen
Ah, this is a waiting time for happiness
I want to see you, at least today,
just like an unexpected meeting
Whilst watching the glittering nightscape
let's share a cliched love talk
But if I spend everything today,
the next month will be painful, oh no no
That's why, sorry, after all it's gonna be
just like every other day

Because for the sake of this day,
I shed sweat every day
I overcome every difficult situation
that might arise
I'm being bossed about by the higher-ups,
who are really not that important
Even if I am in a little bit of an uncool position
If I only think about this day...!

This long awaited day,
I'll get all the things I want
I'll go to the places I want to go,
because it's my payday!
Due to my high spirits, I spend too much
I won't regret it after,
I simply don't mind,
enjoy my payday!

My hopes were entirely raised;
The thing I ended up doing was,
like always, going with my friends to Izakaya*
If we'll go somewhere after, it'll be to places like a club
But it's fine like that,
We'll pick up and leave luxury on our way
It's good just with this today,
there are enough festivities, because
today is a payday!

This long awaited day,

I'll get all the things I want

I'll go to the places I want to go,

because it's my payday!

Due to my high spirits, I spend too much

I won't regret it after,

I simply don't mind,

enjoy my payday!

It's a payday, I can buy what I want

Favorite CD, records and books,

The gift that I wanted to give you

They all get in my hands, it's a payday

Payday, I can do what I want

Watching the movie I wanted to watch,

going to a baseball game,

the Italian restaurant we've decided to go to

Oh happy payday!

*An izakaya is a type of Japanese drinking establishment which also serves food to accompany the drinks. They are casual places for after-work drinking.
