Translator notes:

English is not my first language, so I’m not sure if “do it as your way” makes sense, when I put this on google translator looks ok, the meaning here is “do it like you want/fly as you think you should”. Please, correct me if it’s wrong [not only in this post, I know I write lots of wrong things lol , sorry]

The italic parts are adaptations, and I’m not sure about this adaptations too, but I think it transmits what he is singing well…

eg:

nagasarero yogosarero tobimaware

fly around the dirty that was spilled

Literally: to drain; to pollute/to contaminate; to fly around.

fuck the japanese habit to use verbs as nouns and adjectives x.x
