Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Asura by King Gnu from Japanese to English.
この人生たった一度切り
kono jinsei tatta ichidokiri
You only get this one life
発火する脳味噌が相方
hakkasuru noumiso ga aikata
My brain on fire is my partner in crime
遊ぶ事も仕事の内
asobu koto mo shigoto no uchi
Playing is part of the job too
君だけの素晴らしき日々
kimi dake no subarashiki hibi
These wonderful days are yours alone
修羅修羅修羅の道
shura shura shura no michi
The path of shura, shura, shura
危険な程に楽しいでしょ
kikenna hodo ni tanoshiidesho
It's dangerously fun, isn't it?
ピュアピュアピュアな君に
pyua pyua pyuana kimi ni
For you, so pure, pure, pure
ドキドキが止まらないわ
dokidoki ga tomaranai wa
My heart won't stop racing
降参です 修羅修羅
kousandesu shura shura
I give up, shura, shura
バッドエンドが迫りくる危機
baddoendo ga semarikuru kiki
A bad ending, a crisis closing in
鼓動がアップテンポに響き
kodou ga apputenpo ni hibiki
My heartbeat pounds at an up-tempo pace
実況が 'ほらっほらっほらっ' と煽り
jikkyou ga hora hora hora to aori
The commentator stirs it up: "Come on, come on, come on"
意地悪なあの娘で台無し
ijiwaruna ano ko de dainashi
That mean girl ruins everything
修羅修羅修羅の道
shura shura shura no michi
The path of shura, shura, shura
狂っている程に魅力的
kurutteiru hodo ni miryokuteki
So attractive it's insane
クタクタクタな日々
kutakuta kutana hibi
Days that leave me worn out
辞めたくても辞められないわ
yametakutemo yamerarenai wa
I can't quit even if I want to
退屈にはお然らばよ '降参です'
taikutsu ni wa osaraba yo kousandesu
Goodbye to boredom, "I give up"
マンネリです '修羅修羅修羅'
manneridesu shura shura shura
I'm stuck in a rut, "Shura shura shura"
輪廻転生都合よく生きるわ '降参です'
rinnetensei tsugouyoku ikiru wa kousandesu
Reincarnation, I'll live however suits me, "I give up"
空回り '修羅修羅修羅'
karamawari shura shura shura
Spinning my wheels, "Shura shura shura"
ハラハラハラが止まらないわ
harahara hara ga tomaranai wa
I can't stop feeling on edge
誰か止めてよ心はまだ
dare ka tomete yo kokoro wa mada
Somebody stop me, my heart is still
ジタバタバタ逆転狙いならば
jitabata bata gyakuten nerai naraba
Flailing around, if you're going for a comeback
付き合うわ何処までも地の果てまでも
tsukiau wa doko made mo chi no hate made mo
I'll go with you anywhere, even to the ends of the earth
迷えど進め
mayoedo susume
Even if you're lost, keep going
バッドエンド越え
baddoendo koe
Past the bad ending
青空の下その名を叫んでよ
aozora no shita sono na o sakende yo
Shout that name under the blue sky
心が途切れ白旗を挙げたって
kokoro ga togire shirohata o agetatte
Even if your heart gives out and you raise the white flag
何度でも始められるわ
nando de mo hajimerareru wa
You can start over as many times as you want
恐れど遊べ
osoredo asobe
Even if you're scared, play
流れるままに
nagareru mama ni
Just go with the flow
涙を流して身体で笑って
namida o nagashite karada de waratte
Cry your tears and laugh with your whole body
ココロノママニトーキョーシティ

As my heart desires, Tokyo City

As my heart desires, I'll play till there's nothing left
