This filk is based on "Octopus's Garden" by The Beatles, written by Ringo Starr and first published in 1969. I got the original idea on 12th April 2012 and worked out the complete text on 22nd April 2012.

I still maintain that English is a purely foreign language to me, rather than a "second language". Feel free to suggest corrections. However, I cannot guarantee that I shall be able to incorporate them.


Tämä filkki perustuu The Beatlesin kappaleeseen "Octopus's Garden" (tekijä Ringo Starr), joka julkaistiin vuonna 1969. Tekstini lähti syntymään 12:ntena huhtikuuta 2012, ja työstin sen valmiiksi saman kuun 22:ntena päivänä.


Spider-yōkai's Bucket

1.

I swing around
under the ground
in a spider-yōkai's bucket in the dark.
She'd let me in,
knew where I'd been
with her spider-yōkai's bucket in the dark.
Please ask your friends
to come and see
a spider-yōkai's cavern with me.
I swing around
under the ground
in a spider-yōkai's bucket in the dark.

2.

I'd like to eat
more human meat,
but the ones they send down here are tough to beat.
There is a breeze,
could make you sneeze;
when I hear you, I'll hurry down to greet.
We would shoot
and dance awhile,
because, you know, it makes me smile!
I swing around
under the ground
in a spider-yōkai's bucket in a cave.

(Solo/danmaku.)

3.

Swinging by,
I might be shy,
hiding my legs and feeling safe (Darkness makes me feel so safe)
In a twirl,
like any yōkai girl
I'll land by your side and call your name (Call you by your name)
I would be
so happy seeing you,
no one there to tell me what to do.
I swing around
under the ground
in a yōkai's bucket waiting for you,
in a yōkai's bucket waiting for you,
in a yōkai's bucket waiting for you.
