Japanese
紫電烈風 馬耳東風 (shidenreppuu bajitoufuu)
例えばアタイの魂を (tatoeba atai no tamashii o)
込めて見せます 太鼓とバチに (komete misemasu taiko to bachi ni)
バチを握りゃあ とんてんしゃん (bachi o nigiryaa ton-ten-shan)
太鼓叩けば どんどかどん (taiko tatakeba dondon ka don)
祭り太鼓で 熱く滾って (matsuridaiko de atsuku tagitte)
達人目指すのさ (tatsujin mezasu no sa)
そりゃ (sorya)
ひとつうち ふたつうち (hitotsu uchi futatsu uchi)
音頭をとれば (ondo o toreba)
あたしゃ (atasha)
太鼓の達人なのさ (taiko no tatsujin na no sa)
English translation
Like purple lightning and blazing gale, or eastern wind to a horse's ear (= turn a deaf ear to other's advice)
Let's see you load your spirits like that
To the Taiko drum and Bachi sticks
Holding Bachi sticks, ton-ten-shan (= shamisen strums)
Hitting the Taiko drum, don-don-kadon
Heated to a boil on the festival Taiko drum
Aiming for true mastery
That is
Hitting once, and hitting twice more
Taking in the ondo
I shall
Become a master of Taiko drums
