			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just love this song.  One of the best karaoke songs ever.  There are some translations out there, it seems, but I don&#8217;t really agree with how they&#8217;ve done it, so I went ahead and did my own.  I played with some slang to reflect the Kansai dialect of the singer.</p>
<p>This kind of coincides with the previous post about badass-ness.  The Ulfuls definitely are on good terms with their own badass-ness, and singing this song will likely make you feel like a badass.  Check the link to see the video.  Also you can see the Japanese lyrics <a href="http://music.goo.ne.jp/lyric/LYRUTND35913/index.html">here</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5EmN03eDP4">Samurai Soul by Ulfuls</a></p>
<p>One glance must have left you thinkin&#8217;<br />
This guy&#8217;s a hapless clown<br />
I lose my head too easily, and I&#8217;m always down on myself<br />
You just look at me and smile<br />
Don&#8217;t worry girl<br />
I&#8217;m a romantic guy after all<br />
I&#8217;ve got my own baggage behind me,<br />
But I&#8217;m always lookin&#8217; forward</p>
<p>Chorus 1:<br />
Samurai Soul<br />
Even though I might be wrong<br />
Samurai Soul<br />
Ay ay oh~</p>
<p>When we&#8217;re lookin&#8217; to love somebody<br />
What on earth are we lookin&#8217; for<br />
Beauty, or kindness<br />
Or just to be led on<br />
We all need to just quit showin&#8217; off<br />
Gotta know ourselves before desire gets outta control<br />
I can only put up with fools for so long<br />
And that&#8217;s why I wanna be with you, girl</p>
<p>Chorus 2:<br />
Samurai Soul<br />
I&#8217;m cryin&#8217; in the night<br />
Samurai Soul<br />
Ay ay oh~</p>
<p>Ya know, I think the truth about men<br />
Is that we&#8217;re actually samurai<br />
Always fightin&#8217; and comin&#8217; up with our master plans<br />
But I just wanna make you happy, girl<br />
So that&#8217;s where I&#8217;m puttin&#8217; my focus, that&#8217;s where I&#8217;m puttin&#8217; my effort<br />
Don&#8217;t that make me a samurai?</p>
<p>Walking with you over the bridge<br />
Before the neon sign of the station<br />
I may be a little green, but I feel like a samurai<br />
And that&#8217;s the me that I like<br />
And you, girl, I love you<br />
I really seriously love you girl<br />
With you givin&#8217; me that look and that smile<br />
I ain&#8217;t gonna lose to nobody</p>
<p>Repeat chorus 1, 2</p>
