The magic spell I finally found
sukoshi terekusai kedo iu ne

kimi no zenbu ga kokoro kara kokoro kara
All of you, from the bottom of my heart, my heart
daisuki
"I love you"

Lienel's "愛のダバダ" is a love song that refuses to calm down for even one line. It opens with the singer wanting to love "バカみたいに" (like an idiot), and from there everything gets bigger. Shooting stars hit a "大渋滞" (huge traffic jam) because he has so many wishes, and he promises "ワールドクラスの愛をあげる" (I'll give you world-class love).

The best bit is the fake awards show. He announces "僕らの授賞式" (our awards ceremony) and then hands out prizes like "最優秀顔面賞" (Best Face Award) and "最優秀天然賞" (Best Airhead Award). 天然 literally means "natural", but as slang it describes someone sweetly scatterbrained. She wins everything, and then comes the punchline: "「あ 夢か」" (Oh, it was a dream). That line made me laugh.

The chorus is pure overflow. "ダバダ" is just a scat sound, but "もうナイアガラ" (already Niagara) compares his love to Niagara Falls, and "君はヴィーナス 僕はモブ" (you're Venus, I'm a mob character) uses モブ, borrowed from "mob", which in anime talk means a nameless background extra. Later he says fortune telling and "MBTI" (the personality test) don't matter at all, and blames his missing sleep on "セロトニン" (serotonin) and "ドーパミン" (dopamine). It's a bit much, and that's exactly the point. It ends simply, asking her to "ぎゅっと抱きしめて" (hold me tight).
