Jpop Recommend #436 U fu fu by EPO

う、ふ、ふ、ふ、 U fu fu fu 

EPO


Released in February 1983, this is her 5th single.   Looking back 39 years ago, Japan was filled with optimistic mood.  It was a happy era when people believed that their life will change for the better.  The lyrics aren't so sophisticated but if I listen to this music, it brings back memories of happy and carefree mood of the 80s.

EPO was a female singer-song-writer from the 80s whose best-known song would be "DOWN TOWN".  But this time I chose this song to celebrate the arrival of spring.

うららか すぎる 日ざし  の  まやかし     で
uraraka sugiru   hizashi no mayakashi de
By a trick of sunshine too bright and shiny 
街中           何だか  いきづいて  いる
machijyuu nandaka ikizuite      iru
all the town seems to get lively
まばゆい  春    の 南風            は  いたずら に
mabayui haru no minamikaze wa itazura  ni 
South wind of glittering spring is mischievously
ブラウス の そで  に 軽く   そよいで
blouse   no sode ni karuku soyoide
passing lightly through blouse sleeves


うふふふ    ちやほや    されて うふふふ
U fu fu fu    chiyahoya sarete  u fu fu fu
U fu fu fu    When people praise me U fu fu fu   
きれい に なる と うふふふ
kirei    ni naru to  u fu fu fu
When I get prettier U fu fu fu    
うふふふ   悪魔   したく   なる
U fu fu fu   akuma shitaku naru 
U fu fu fu    I feel like playing devil
うふふふ 毎日        誰か    に    うふふふ
U fu fu fu mainichi dareka ni  u fu fu fu
U fu fu fu   everyday by somebody U fu fu fu   
見られる   こと が うふふふ
mirareru koto ga  u fu fu fu
being noticed and appreciated  U fu fu fu 
うふふふ     ビタミン に なる
U fu fu fu     vitamin ni naru
U fu fu fu giving me vitamin


気まま   な  時間 今   は  もう ない けど
kimama na jikan ima wa mou nai kedo
I don't have much leisure time now, but
本当     の   自由  を 手 に 入れた  の ね
hontou no jiyuu wo   te ni ireta   no ne
I can say that I gained true freedom
大人   に なって 何か に  追われ  出して   も
otona ni natte nanika ni oware-dashite mo 
Even if I get older and start to get chased by something
心        の  感度   は 磨いて  いたい
kokoro no kando wa migaite itai
I always want to refine sensitivity of my heart



うふふふ 自分   の  中    に うふふふ
U fu fu fu jibun no naka ni  u fu fu fu
U fu fu fu   Inside of me U fu fu fu    
流行       を  持つ    の  が うふふふ
hayari  wo motsu no ga  u fu fu fu
establishing my own boom U fu fu fu    
うふふふ   今   の オシャレ  なの
U fu fu fu   ima no oshare nano
U fu fu fu is the best way to become fashionable for me right now   
うふふふ ひとつ  や  ふたつ  の  うふふふ
U fu fu fu hitotsu ya futatsu no  u fu fu fu
U fu fu fu  one or two   U fu fu fu 
あやまち  だったら うふふふ
ayamachi dattara  u fu fu fu
mistakes I may have U fu fu fu 
うふふふ プロフィール に なる
U fu fu fu profile         ni naru
U fu fu fu    it will become my profile


たま  に  見せる   涙        を
tama ni miseru namida wo 
tears that I show sometime
優しい    武器 に かえて
yasashii buki ni kaete
can be a gentle weapon for me


うふふふ    ちやほや    されて うふふふ
