Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Dry ? by Janne Da Arc from Japanese to English.

やけに気やすく声をかけてくるのね

yakeni kiyasuku koe o kaketekuru no ne

You're awfully casual about coming up to talk to me

長い黒髪お気に召しました?

nagai kurokami okinimeshimashita

Long black hair, is it to your liking?

無駄なおしゃべりもそろそろウザイ

mudana oshaberi mo sorosoro uzai

Your pointless chatter's getting annoying now

今夜も冷めた時間に身を委ね

kon'ya mo sameta jikan ni mi o yudane

Tonight again I give myself over to hours gone cold

しらふにさせない理性喰いちぎる

shirafu ni sasenai risei kuichigiru

Won't let me sober up, tearing my reason apart

SEX TIME なのに

SEX TIME nanoni

Even though it's SEX TIME

シルエットは

shiruetto wa

The silhouette

泣いてる少女のまま、、、

naiteru shoujo no mama

Is still a crying girl

静かに激しく舌を舐められても

shizukani hageshiku shita o nameraretemo

Even when you lick my tongue, quietly yet fiercely

ただ残るのは未完成な愛

tada nokoru no wa mikanseina ai

All that's left is an unfinished love

事の後でのお決まりのkissも

koto no ato de no okimari no kiss mo

And even the usual kiss afterwards

目を閉じてるのは

me o tojiteru no wa

The one closing their eyes

あなただけなの、、、

anata dake na no

Is only you

皮肉な裸体

hinikuna ratai

My naked body, ironically

なぜか悪戯に乾いたままで

nazeka itazura ni kawaita mama de

For some reason, it stays teasingly dry

誰か、私のスベテを濡らして、、、

dare ka watashi no subete o nurashite

Somebody, make all of me wet

イカせて!すぐイカせて!

ikasete sugu ikasete

Make me come! Make me come right now!

過去も白くなるくらいに

kako mo shirokunaru kurai ni

So much that even my past fades to white

抱き合って眠れる様な

dakiatte nemureru you na

Enough to fall asleep in each other's arms

少しだけ、安らぎが欲しいの

sukoshi dake yasuragi ga hoshii no

I just want a little peace

乾いてるのは○○○じゃない!!

kawaiteru no wa janai

It's not my ○○○ that's dry!!

もうばかにしないで

mou baka ni shinaide

Don't make a fool of me anymore

からっぽの私の心を

karappo no watashi no kokoro o

My empty heart

誰もまだ覗いてくれないのね

dare mo mada nozoitekurenai no ne

Nobody has looked into it yet, huh

たまにベタなセリフに

tamani betana serifu ni

Once in a while, at some corny line

トキメいてみて

tokimeitemite

I'd let myself get butterflies

少しだけ夢を見てた矢先に

sukoshi dake yume o miteta yasaki ni

Just as I'd started to dream a little

寝言で他の娘の名前を呼ぶ

negoto de hoka no ko no namae o yobu

You call another girl's name in your sleep

ほらごらんあなたも上面ばかり

hora goran anata mo uwatsura bakari

See? You're all surface too

「慌てているの?

awateteiru no

"Are you panicking?

だから別に気にしてないよ」なんて

dakara betsuni ki ni shitenai yo nante

So really, I don't mind" — or so I say

シルエットは

shiruetto wa

The silhouette

泣いてる少女のまま、、、

naiteru shoujo no mama

Is still a crying girl

悲しい恋の結末は

kanashii koi no ketsumatsu wa

The sad endings of love

今でも慣れないね

ima demo narenai ne

I'm still not used to them

向うは遊びのつもり

mukou wa asobi no tsumori

For him it's just a game

間違っても本音は言わないの

machigatte mo honne wa iwanai no

So I'd never tell him how I really feel

誰にも重なることのない

dare ni mo kasanaru koto no nai

That no one else could ever replace

あの人の幻は

ano hito no maboroshi wa

That person's phantom

からっぽの私の心を

karappo no watashi no kokoro o

My empty heart

まだ大人にさせてくれないのね

mada otona ni sasetekurenai no ne

Still won't let my heart grow up, huh

「あなただけの'私'に

anata dake no watashi ni

"To the 'me' that was only yours

別れを告げた

wakare o tsugeta

I said goodbye

あの日から恋はしないと決めた

ano hi kara koi wa shinai to kimeta

Since that day, I decided I'd never fall in love

失ったつらさで潰れてから

ushinatta tsurasa de tsuburete kara

After the pain of losing crushed me

DRYに生きていく事選んだ

DRY ni ikiteiku koto eranda

I chose to live life DRY

初めてのタバコのニガさにも似た

hajimete no tabako no nigasa ni mo nita

Like the bitterness of my first cigarette

初めて'一夜限り'も見てきた

hajimete ichiyakagiri mo mitekita

I went through my first 'one-night stand' too

ここに来て気づいた、、私はただ

koko ni kite kizuita watashi wa tada

Now that I'm here, I've realized... I was just

失う怖さから逃げてただけ」

ushinau kowasa kara nigeteta dake

Running away from the fear of losing"

イカせて!すぐイカせて!

ikasete sugu ikasete

Make me come! Make me come right now!

過去も白くなるくらいに

kako mo shirokunaru kurai ni

So much that even my past fades to white

抱き合って眠れる様な

dakiatte nemureru you na

Enough to fall asleep in each other's arms

少しだけ、安らぎがほしいの

sukoshi dake yasuragi ga hoshii no

I just want a little peace

乾いてるのは○○○じゃない!!

kawaiteru no wa janai

It's not my ○○○ that's dry!!

もうばかにしないで

mou baka ni shinaide

Don't make a fool of me anymore

からっぽの私の心を

karappo no watashi no kokoro o

My empty heart

誰もまだ覗いてくれないのね

dare mo mada nozoitekurenai no ne

Nobody has looked into it yet, huh

Did you like this lyrics translation?

Janne Da Arc sing this one from the point of view of a woman who has decided to stop feeling things. She tells a man who chats her up too easily that his small talk is getting annoying, spends the night with him anyway, and notices that afterwards she still looks like a crying little girl in the mirror. The title word comes straight from her mouth: "DRYに生きていく事選んだ" (I chose to live dry). Dry here means emotionally dry, a life of one-night stands with nothing that can hurt her.

The cracks show fast. She admits "少しだけ、安らぎが欲しいの" (I just want a little peace), and complains that "からっぽの私の心を" (my empty heart) is something "誰もまだ覗いてくれないのね" (nobody has looked into yet). One lover even "寝言で他の娘の名前を呼ぶ" (calls another girl's name in his sleep). In the last verse, written as a quote, she explains herself: after losing someone she swore off love, and she now sees she was only running from the fear of losing again. Watch for 'しらふ' (sober) and 'ウザイ' (annoying, casual slang), and note the song is openly sexual, so some lines are left out of the speaking game.
