[Verse 1]
She said, “Okay,” and peeled sweet potatoes.
Where should I put this: the pot or the frying pan?
I said, “Whichever you like.”
She said, “Okay,” and put it in both.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
She asked, “Now what should I do?”
As I shredded the cabbage leaves,
[Chorus 1]
We get hungry all the time.
We eat to survive.
That’s why we cook.
We cook delicious food with love.
We eat delicious food together.
And it repeats over and over again.
[Verse 2]
I gave detailed instructions:
“Okay, tear off two Chinese cabbage leaves,
Wash them well under a running tap in that bowl over there,
Shred them, and put them in the pot.”
[Pre-Chorus 2]
She replied, “Okay.”
I added salt and seven-spice chili pepper to the frying pan to season,
[Chorus 2]
We get hungry all the time.
We eat to survive.
That’s why we cook.
We cook delicious food with love.
We eat delicious food together.
And it repeats over and over again.
[Instrumental Solo]
[Verse 3]
Finally, I cracked two eggs and added the lid.
I cut the tofu into squares and put them in the pot, then added a teaspoon each of granulated bonito stock and barley miso.
She asked, “What should I do?”
[Pre-Chorus 3]
I said, “Pour hot water into a coffee cup, and add instant coffee, sugar, and milk.”
As she did as instructed,
[Chorus 3]
We get hungry all the time.
We eat to survive.
That’s why we cook.
We cook delicious food with love.
We eat delicious food together.
And it repeats over and over again.
[Bridge]
She looked suspicious and said, “You know, coffee doesn’t really go well with Japanese food, does it?”
I replied, ” I was thinking of drinking that now while the food is ready.”
She said, “Okay, here you go,” and handed me one of the two cups of coffee she had made.
[Final Chorus]
We get hungry all the time.
We eat to survive.
That’s why we cook.
We cook delicious food with love.
We eat delicious food together.
And it repeats over and over again.
