I have no idea what LilPri is supposed to be, but apparently it's from a "magical girl" anime based on something called a "card arcade game". Here's a blurb from Wikipedia:
The Fairytale World is in trouble. Its princesses and their respective worlds are disappearing, causing a ripple effect in the human world where their stories are popular. In order to save theFairytale World, the Queen sends three magic animals, Sei, Dai, and Ryoku, to the human world with magic gems to find three girls who can become the "Super Miracle Idols," the princesses Snow White, Cinderella, and Kaguya-hime. Those "princesses" end up being three little girls: Yukimori Ringo, Takashiro Layla, and Sasahara Natsuki. But the gems transform them into older singing superstars, and after their accidental debut at the singer Wish's concert, they become known as "Little Princesses," or "LilPri." Now they must collect Happiness Tones from humans in order to restore the Fairytale World.Dealing with lyrics like these is tough for me because they so often seem fragmented, are hard to hear, and are pronounced (syllabicated) in unnatural ways, but here's a shot:
歌詞 kashi lyrics
アイドルールはキビしいルール アイドルールはキビしいルール
アイドルールはキビしいルール…アイドルール ルルル
AIDORU-RU ha KIBIshii RU-RU (2x)
idol rules are STRICT rules
アイドルとして生きるからには
それはキビシイルールがあるの
AIDORU to shite ikiru kara ni ha
sore ha KIBISHII RU-RU ga aru no
if you want to live as an idol,
there are STRICT rules [you have to follow]
["kara ni" is new for me]
むかしむかしあるところにいた
ヒロインみたく「ごめんあそばせ」
mukashi mukashi aru tokoro ni ita
HIROIN mitaku "gomen asobase"
long ago, [someone?] went to [was on a stage in] in a certain place
[and said,] like a heroine, "Pardon me"
or: like a heroine from a faraway land, long ago, say "Gomen asobase"
[can't tell whether that's あるところにいた, which could be "being in a certain place" or even "a (theatrical) stage in a certain place", or あるところに行った, "went to a certain place". the song does mention stages later, but it uses ステージ, SUTE-JI. "Gomen asobase" is something like "pardon me", a command form; I think somewhere in the video someone sorta curtseys to it, so it may suggest polite behavior, though I don't see how that's heroic. Maybe it makes more sense to run the lines together and think of it as いる..あるところにいたヘロインみたい. But I don't like that, because it seems like it would be いていた or 住んでいた。]
歩く姿は清楚にwalking
話す相手にゃ天使のsmiling
aruku sugata ha seiso ni walking
hanasu aite nya tenshi no smiling
when you're walking, walk brightly/cleanly
when you're speaking, smile like an angel
[清楚の楚 must be ateji, because it means a switch (as in a branch)...unless such things were used for cleaning. i don't know what to do with にゃ.]
パステル色のドレスまとったら
イメージchanging「ごめんあそばせ」
PASUTERU iro no DORESU matottara
IME-JI changing "gomen asobase"
when you put on a dress in pastel colors,
and change your image, say, "Gomen asobase"
[i'm still going with the "here are the rules" structure throughout, though i'm not confident in it.]
何を食べてもバラの息を吐き
寝息はいいけどイビキはダメよ
nani o tabete mo BARA no iki o haki
neiki ha ii kedo, IBIKI ha DAME yo
even when eating something, [your] breath [must be] like a rose
breathing as one asleep (?) is great, but no snoring!
[that's pretty clearly 寝息, 寝る (to sleep) and 息 (breath)]
オナラだなんてとんでもないです!
きっと今のは天使のフルート aiaiaiai
ONARA da nante tonde mo nai desu
kitto ima no ha tenshi no FURU-TO
flatulence is no good (unheard of!)
certainly, the current ... angels' flute
[今 の what? is this a comparison between flatulence and an angel's flute?!]

信じられないですよ。 I guess Art Deco has changed a bit since my day. I think I'd be afraid to be around these idols when that 12 o'clock bell stops ringing. But maybe it'll help if I watch some of the episodes, which I can do here.
