【歌詞翻訳・意味解説】Hippie Sabotage/ヒッピー・サボタージュ Whatcha Say/ホワッチャ・セイ【歌詞翻訳・意味解説】

アメリカの二人兄弟で構成されたアーティスト。
サウンドクラウドで公開されているトラックではelectronic,trap,chill stepやhiphopといた比較的ダウンテンポな曲で幅を利かせている。

この曲の背景について、Jason DeRuloはDigital Spyにこう語っています。
「ある日弟（兄）から電話がかかってきた。
　『浮気しちゃったんだけど、彼女のことが大事だからもう1回やり直せないかって思ってる』
ってことだった。この話に本当に説得力があったから、そのままスタジオに行ってあれこれやってみた。誰にだってこういう経験はよくあるから、この曲には感情移入しやすいと思う。結局彼女も弟を許してくれて今は婚約中。だから最終的には何もかも上手くいった。」

Wha- wha- what did she say
Mmmm whatcha say,
Mmm that you only meant well?
Well of course you did
Mmmm whatcha say, Jason Derulo
Mmmm that it’s all for the best?
Of course it is

[Verse 1]
I was so wrong for so long
Only tryin’ to please myself (myself)
Girl, I was caught up in her lust
When I don’t really want no one else
So, no I know I should’ve treated you better
But me and you were meant to last forever

[Hook:]
So let me in (let me in) give me another chance (another chance)
To really be your man
Cause when the roof caved in and the truth came out
I just didn’t know what to do
But when I become a star we’ll be living so large
I’ll do anything for you
So tell me girl

[Chorus:]
Mmmm whatcha say,
Mmm that you only meant well?
Well of course you did
Mmmm whatcha say (whatcha say)
Mmmm that it’s all for the best?
Of course it is
Mmmm whatcha say,
Mmm that you only meant well?
Well of course you did
Mmmm whatcha say (whatcha say)
Wha- wha- wha- wha- what did she say

[Verse 2]
How, could I live with myself
Knowing that I let our love go (love go)
And ooh, when I do with one chance
I just gotta let you know
I know what I did wasn’t clever
But me and you we’re meant to be together

[Hook]

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Girl, tell me whatcha said (said)
I don’t want you to leave me
Though you caught me cheatin’
Tell me, tell me whatcha said (said)
I really need you in my life
Cuz things ain’t right, girl
Tell me, tell me whatcha said (said)
I don’t want you to leave me
Though you caught me cheatin’
Tell me, tell me whatcha said (said)
I really need you in my life
Cuz things ain’t right

Cause when the roof caved in and the truth came out
I just didn’t know what to do
But when I become a star we’ll be living so large
I’ll do anything for you
So baby watcha say!

[Chorus]
