Here are the lyrics to the famous Vocaloid song ‘Gugurekasu’ – Go Google it! The song was created by AaminP (あー民P) using the voices of vocaloid characters Megurine Luka and Kamui Gakupo -【巡音ルカと神威がくぽ】. I’ve also added translation notes and insights into the Japanese language used and slang terms from 2ch at the bottom of this post.
Translation notes follow Japanese and English.

English Lyrics
Please do not ask me why.
All of you wants to know me I think…
Please do not ask me why.
All of you wants to know me.
This is the first time I’ve felt this way.
Newbies should lurk more before making posts.
I want to get closer to you.
If you want to meet up, use the VIP board!
If you’ve got something to say, just say it clearly.
What do you think of me?
How should I know?! “Google it yourself!”
“Go Google it!”
“What’s your email address?” “Just Google it.”
“Where do you live?” “Go and Google it.”
“What’s your type” “Google it at Yahoo!, idiot.”
“When can we meet again?” “Google it yourself”
“Do you like eggplant?” “Upload it.”
“Are you in a relationship?” (You know I’d love to tell you…)
But I can’t be honest with you. It’s no good…
Your voice is playing on repeat in my heart.
Delete it! Mods, do your thing already!
I want to talk about you how wonderful you are.
This place is not your personal diary!
Megurine trolls, go home already! Stop making lame threads!
I want to know how you really feel.
How should I know?! “Google it yourself!”
“Go and Google it.”
“What are your three sizes?” “Google it yourself.”
“What color are your panties?” “Just Google it.”
“Are you wearing any panties?” “Google it at Rakuten, you scum!”
“I’ve always liked you.” “And?”
“I love you.” “Stop spamming.”
“Please understand how I feel.” (I actually do understand…)
But my real feelings are trapped inside my heart…
If I keep up this attitude, I will end up being hated.
I actually love you more than anyone else.
“Why don’t you realise it already, you idiot!”
“Please don’t misunderstand me.
It…It’s nothing personal against you.
My face is red because of red tuna.”
“You won’t be honest with me?” “I can’t!”
“I like you.” “You’re acting stupid.”
Just look up my feelings on Google already.
I’m bumping my topic up so you can find me.
Please do not ask me why.
All of you wants to know me I think…
Please do not ask me why.
All of you wants to know me.
(I promise the truth there.)
(I want to become sweet girl.)
(honest feeling)
You search it with this Google.

Translation Notes
初心者はまずRomってろ
しょしんしゃは まずRomってろ
Newbies should lurk before making posts.
Rom is a 2ch term referring to ‘Read Only Member’. Romってろ means ‘read (before posting)’ – a common feeling among regulars towards new users who do not understand the conversations and ask lots of irritating questions.
馴れ合いならVIPでやれ
なれあいなら VIPでやれ
If you want to meet up, use the VIP board!
VIP is one of the many boards on 2ch, with a section called 馴れ合い for getting to know people and arranging meetups, among other things.
削除しろ運営仕事しろ
さくじょしろ うんえい しごとしろ
Delete it! Mods, do your thing already!
On 2ch, 運営 refers to the moderators of the message boards.
巡音厨は巣に帰れ 駄スレを立てるな
めぐりねちゅうはすにかえれ だスレをたてるな
Megurine trolls, go home already! Stop making lame threads!
厨 is a slang term to refer to trollish or childish users on message boards. In this case, Megurine-tards or trolls (devotees of the vocaloid Megurine) are being told to ‘return to their nest’. 駄スレ comes from 無駄 (muda – useless) and スレ (thread) to become ‘useless thread’ or ‘lame thread’.
「ずっと好きだよ」「でっていう」
「ずっと すきだよ」「でっていう」
“I’ve always liked you” – “And!?”
The term でっていう is slang originating from the noise Yoshi the dinosaur makes in Super Mario World, often when being ditched by Mario to reach a higher jump. On 2ch, it’s often used a a snarky comeback or a way of showing disinterest in what somebody else has said, sometimes jokingly. Broken down, it comes from でそれがどしたのっていう感じ – And? What are you hoping for with that..? The で and っていう parts combine. (Source)
「愛してるんだ」「マルチ乙」
「あいしているんだ。」「マルチおつ」
“I love you.” “Stop spamming!”
マルチ乙 refers to ‘multi posting’, such as spamming lots of posts on message boards or uploading lots of things. On 2ch, 乙 can also be a slang term for お疲れさま.
私をまるごとageちゃう…
わたしを まるごと ageちゃう…
I’m bumping my topic up so you can find me…
On 2ch, ‘age’ refers to 上げ (raise up) and ‘sage’ refers to 下げ (push down). The terms are used to refer to bumping a thread to the top of a list or not bumping it up so that it will become lost or harder to find. In the above sentence, the female singer is saying she will bump up herself (topics in the search engine abut her) completely so that the guy can find out about her.
