Lyrics

Note: This song has been known as "I'm an Ash Cat" in Western fandom but "I'm a Gray Cat" is a more accurate translation.

Japanese Romaji English
僕は灰猫 boku wa haineko I'm a gray cat
黒くも白くも無ァい kuroku mo shiroku mo na~i Neither black nor white
中途半端ね chuutohanpa ne Who cares a if someone points a finger at me and says
汚い色ねと指差されたって kitanai iro ne to yubisasare tatte "How half baked! What a dirty color!"?
尻尾をひらり shippo o hirari I flick my tail
僕はちっとも悔しくない boku wa chittomo kuyashiku nai I don't care at all

銀色だって僕は思う gin iro datte boku wa omou I believe it's silver
2本の前脚 陽に透かし nihon no mae ashi hi ni sukashi I hold my paws aloft before the sun
(きらきらちらちら) (kirakira chirachira) (glittering, sparkling)
僕は銀色 boku wa gin iro I'm silver

僕は灰猫 boku wa haineko I'm a gray cat
黒くも白くも無ァい kuroku mo shiroku mo na~i Neither black nor white
鼠みたいね nezumi mitai ne Who cares if people whisper
汚れてるのねと囁かれたって yogoreteru none to sasayakare tatte "It looks just like a mouse. How filthy it is!"
尻尾をひらり shippo o hirari I flick my tail
僕はちっとも悲しくない boku wa chittomo kanashiku nai I'm not sad at all

銀色だって僕は思う gin iro datte boku wa omou I believe it's silver
ぴくぴく髭まで日を撥ねて pikupiku hige made hi o hanete The sun illuminates me down to my twitching whiskers
(きらきらちらちら) (kirakira chirachira) (glittering, sparkling)
僕は銀色 boku wa gin iro I'm silver

みっともない陰口なんか mittomonai kageguchi nanka Drive off the ugly backbiting,
はね飛ばせ 胸のメダル hanetobase mune no medal o medal on my chest
かっこ悪い悪口なんて kakkowarui warukuchi nante Can you hear any uncool slander,
聞こえるか 金のピアス kikoeru ka kin no pierce o gold earrings of mine?

黒い猫にも kuroi neko nimo Black cats
白い猫にも shiroi neko nimo White cats
ぶちの猫にも buchi no neko nimo Spotted cats
三毛の猫にも mike no neko nimo Tortoiseshell cats
(もちろん、虎猫にもね) (mochiron tora neko nimo ne) (And of course, even tabby cats)

負けたりしない maketari shinai They can't beat me
お呼びじゃないよ oyobi ja nai yo They're completely unnecessary
カモメよりはやくはやく kamome yori hayaku hayaku Faster, faster than sea gulls
駆け抜けるよ kakenukeru yo I rush through

僕は銀色 boku wa gin iro I'm silver
銀の王様 gin no ousama The silver king
尻尾をひらり shippo o hirari As I flick my tail,
かわしていく kawashite iku I sidestep everything

僕は銀色 boku wa gin iro I'm silver
銀の王様 gin no ousama The silver king
尻尾をひらり shippo o hirari As I flick my tail,
誇らしげ hokorashige I feel proud

灰色は銀色 hai iro wa gin iro Gray is silver
灰色が銀色 hai iro ga gin iro Gray IS silver
銀色が金色 gin iro ga kin iro Silver is gold
金色が灰色 kin iro ga hai iro Gold is gray

…にゃあ! ...nya~! ...meow!

僕は灰猫 boku wa haineko I'm a gray cat
銀の王様。 gin no ousama The silver king
