The English Translation of "Girls' Carnival" from "Making*Lovers"

Sure, here is the English translation of the lyrics:

In droplets sparkling with the morning sun, more than dripping down, I somehow manage my bangs, change my cologne, and if I stretch, I might yawn. One more step, Girls' life.

Lighten up the footwork, bring your favorite music, Hi! Elevate my mood, update myself a bit more until the date.

Ready? Go! Every day is a striving carnival. Girls are fine, even if we're late or fall asleep, Cheers! Recharge and again tomorrow, Yeah!

Ready? Girl! Every morning is a striving carnival. Girls can't just sleep in, studying the tactics to turn heads. Captivate the whole world.

Mix and match, OK. Don't forget about your shoes. Let's go with a competitive bag. Wait, did I forget my pass case? Chaotic Girls' time.

Ah, continue the magic hour to be cuter. Foo… in a situation where you get excited. Today, see you, what do you think, my dear friend? Let's report.

Ready? Fight! Everyone is in a rival carnival. Girls are in a big brawl, even if we fight, Point the camera, Cheers! After a hug, let's play again, Yeah!

Ready? Girl! I'm also in a rival carnival. Girls can't afford to lose. When you turn around, smile more than yesterday. One dream is not enough.

The mirror's Princess asks, "Are you happy?" Yes, don't worry!

Ready? Go! Every day is a striving carnival. Girls are fine, even if we're late or fall asleep, Cheers! Recharge and again tomorrow, Yeah!

Ready? Girl! Eternal striving carnival. I want to enjoy being a girl. When you turn around, that person is also smiling more. Captivate the whole world, Girls' Carnival, let's play passionately.
