村川梨衣 (MURAKAWA Rie) - リトライ☆ランデヴー (Retry Rendezvous) (TV size)

Recently I have been helping out with anime insert songs for the show "Show By ROCK!!".
This is an opening to the anime Etotama. For the moment I'll translate the short version of the song only, but I may update later if requested.

Artist: 村川梨衣 (MURAKAWA Rie)
Song title: リトライ☆ランデヴー (Retry Rendezvous)

リトライ☆ランデヴー


ねぇ世に言うツンデレ少女って
こういうのでいいんだっけ？
さぁ心もメイクアップOKです
せっせっせーの よいっよいっよいっ

今日の選択問題 1 2 3
答えは Ｎｏｎ Ｎｏｎ Ｎｏｎ
はぁ、一体全体もう何回
失敗してんだろう

知らない世界があるなら
もう一歩 行こうよ飛び込もうよ
だってまだ（まだ）まだ（まだ）
まだ（まだ）まだ（まだ）ランデヴー

レッツもう一回
まだやだ再挑戦
ドジとかしちゃったって
強引にジョータイ烈破

そうです レッツ純情派
あぁこれじゃないわ
もっと一途になっていいから
ほら準備OK

Retry Rendezvous

Say, what is known as a tsundere
Was that something like this?
Well then, my heart and face are both made up
Here, here, here we Go Go Go!

Today's multiple choice test is 1 2 3
The answers are Non Non Non!
Oh... How many times now
Did I fail completely?

If there is an unknown world
Then, just one more step, let's go, let's jump in!
'Cause, there is still (still) still (still)
Still (still) still (still) a rendezvous

Let's do it once more
I won't give up yet, let's re-challenge
Even when I blundered
I just forcefully blow up the situation

Yes!　Let's devote everything
Ah, not like this
It's okay to become more wholehearted
See, the preparations are done


Notes:

• These lyrics use some very fabricated Japanese that does not translate well to English. I hope the notes help clear up a few things, but if there are more points that sound or look odd in English, feel free to let me know in the comments.

1. You ni iu tsundere shoujo / What is known as a tsundere - Literally: "What the world calls a tsundere girl". Tsundere is a stereotype where a character acts very cold (tsun) to someone they like, but will become very attracted, passionate and devoted (dere) as time passes and their feelings grow.
2. Haa, ittai zentai mou nankai shippai shite n darou /How many times now did I fail completely? - Also holds the nuance of "how in the world did I mess up this many times now?"
3. Junjou ha / Let's devote everything - "Junjou" means something like 'earnest', 'pure-hearted' or 'giving your all'. The "ha"used here refers to belonging to a group, so she's saying something like 'let's join the group of pure-hearted, earnest people'. In the next few lines, she tries to say that it is okay to give it your all, as the preparations are all set.
