Surfin' the crazy deviantdigs boards I found found a thread of funny english<>japaneese translations. On this site there was a TV section which contained the Yatta lyrics (translated of course) I just had to post em here.

I also found out that Yatta = green leaves (which you will understand if you ever watch the video)

Oh-we will be winning the prize!
We will make our nation proud!
We will become a-quite-a healthy guys!
Everybody say: Yatta!

Tomorrow Will Be Wonderful...
Who cares if everybody is unkind? (?)
Why bother sleepin' in? (?)
Queue! Queue! Queue! Queue!
Bus! Bus! Bus! Bus!

Yatta! Yatta! Yatta! Yatta!
Nine hours a night we're sleeping
An' we jump right out of bed!
Do we ever get a lucky feeling
A-when we go to work fresh and fed!

Yatta! Yatta! Yatta! Yatta!
you change-odd-weird me
world change-revise


I FEEL GREAT!!

You know, this song and video has caused severe brain bleeding on my part, and now here are the words... I'm blind, no... really.

Here's the acctual lyrics in their language.

All right! All right!
If there's a change in you
All right! All right!
Then the whole world will change too.
Getting through it unhurt's the best of all. Just stand up straight because it feels greeeaat!!

I drink water that's tasty! (All right!)
I get in the sun and feel toasty! (All right!)
Havin' a belly laugh's fun! (All right! All right!)
Try keeping dogs--they're cute! (All right!)

As we brushed past each other, you favored me with a smile.
It's okay if we never meet again. I'm lucky you were here just for a while!

We've got recession these days...in goverment we've no faith.
Could we hit "reset," that'd be number one! And since we're all here, it's just so much fun!

All right! All right!
In university class
All right! All right!
We've got a movie star!
Long as we've one leaf on, we're doin' fine! We're all together, it's a happy time!

All right! All right!
Long as we still can breathe in...
All right! All right!
Long as we still can breathe out...
We're so healthy, it just makes ya sick!
Everybody say "All right!"

[Repeat]

I torment my friend with that all the time.

Just sent her a tell with "It's so easy! Happy-go-lucky! "

Response?

"Die!"

Yeah these lyrics are the ultimate mindkiller weapon

I'm glad Tristalyn posted a translation Xtrophic because according to one of my Japanese co-workers Yatta is a colloquism that means roughly "ALL RIGHT!" or "WE DID IT!".

And all I had to do was mention the guys in the diapers with the fig leaf and she immediately knew what I was talking about.

/me laughs

The Japanese people are nutz, so I could like come there with a crap song and just be nude and they would all love me hahahah
