06. PUREI BOORU (play ball) Romaji & English translation by: cori Thanks to cocomi for the Japanese lyrics. ^^ Namaikisou to omowareru dai-ichi inshou ki ni shinaide Sou saikou no bougyo wa toki ni kougeki da to iu desho Don't worry about my first impression of you which seemed like cockiness Yeah, they probably say that the best defense is sometimes an attack Matsuri no oto ga yasei yobisamasu Suzushii yoru ni netsu wo sosogu Hayari no uta ga watashi kakitateru (sounds like "play ball") Shoubu dokoro The sound of the celebration awakens my wild nature The enthusiasm pours into the cool night The popular song stirs me up (sounds like "play ball") It's more than a game * Tsukanoma no chinmoku o yaburu question Kyuukai no ura de miseru PITCHAA no you ni I'm throwing my heart Hitori demo tsuzukeru to kimeta mission Dare ni demo suki to ieru wake ja nai Nerai wo sadamete I'm throwing my heart at youA question that breaks the brief silence Like a pitcher that fascinates in the bottom of the 9th (inning), I'm throwing my heart It's a mission that I chose to continue even though I'm alone It's not that I can say that I love you to anyone [but] I take my aim & I'm throwing my heart at you Natsu mo owari no kehai tadayou hachigatsu matsu akiramenaide Zenryoku tsukushitemo DAME dattara sore mo mata fuuryuu ??
