Japanese
やわらか戦車の心はひとつ (yawaraka sensha no kokoro wa hitotsu)
生きのびたい 生きのびたい (iki no bitai iki no bitai)
胸にきざむは退却ダマシイ (mune ni kizamu wa taikyaku damashii)
生まれて このかた あとずさり (umarete kono kata atozusari)
パパのかかと ほどにも かたくない (papa no kakato hodo ni mo katakunai)
（蚊にさされたーッ。たいきゃくー！！） (ka ni sasareta. taikyaku!!)
三日に一度 子猫にさらわれる (san nichi ni ichido koneko ni sarawareru)
（兄者ーーーッ！！） (anisha!!)
やわらか戦車 やわらか戦車 (yawaraka sensha yawaraka sensha)
他のツイズイを 許さぬ弱さ (ta no tsuizui o yurusanu yowasa)
指先で つつかれたら (yubisaki de tsutsuka retara)
そこから 腐る (Soko kara kusaru)
やわらか戦車の心はひとつ (yawaraka sensha no kokoro wa hitotsu)
生きのびたい 生きのびたい (iki no bitai iki no bitai)
武器のたぐいは お持ちでないので (buki no tagui wa o mochi denainode)
生まれて このかた 負け戦 (umarete kono kata makeikusa)
小学生にこっそり飼われている (shougakusei ni kossori kawa reteiru)
（生肉だーッ！！！） (seinikuda!!!)
中学男子にマユゲをかかれてる (chuugaku danshi ni mayuge o kakareteru)
（兄者ーーーッ！！） (anisha!!)
やわらか戦車 やわらか戦車 (yawaraka sensha yawaraka sensha)
それでも兵器と言いはる弱さ (soredemo heiki to iiharu yowasa)
武器を持て 武器を持てよ (buki o mote buki o mote yo)
頭に ち・く・わ (atama ni chi・ku・wa)
English translation
The squishy tanks desires are one
To survive, to survive
Engraved in their chest is a retreating soul
Drawing back (from battle) ever since it was born
It's even softer than papa's heel
(We're being bitten by mosquitoes! Retreat!)
It is kidnapped by the kitten once every three days
(Brother!)
Squishy tank, squishy tank
Doesn't allow others to be weaker than itself
If pierced by the tip of a finger
The spot (where it was touched) will rot
The squishy tanks desires are one
To survive, to survive
Because it doesn't have any kind of weapon,
It fights losing battles ever since it was born
It is quietly kept (as a pet) by the primary school child.
(Raw meat!)
It gets eyebrows drawn on its face (with a marker) by a secondary school teenager
(Brother!)
Squishy tank, squishy tank
Even with weapons it insists on its weakness
Want to hold weapons, want to hold weapons
The chikuwa on its head (as a makeshift cannon)
