I've noticed the word ルンパッパ (runpappa) is used in the KEMU VOXX series of
songs, but I don't know how to translate it. Using google translate just
returns rumpappa, which isn't an English word. I've tried googling it, but it
just returns Ludicolo, which certainly isn't relevant. The top result says it
means to sin, but it also says their source may be unreliable. The three songs
to use it are [Haikei Dopperugenga](https://youtu.be/grdy6rLbQ-c "Haikei
Dopperugenga"), [Inbijiburu](https://youtu.be/vXSpdipuiFs "Inbijiburu"), and
Kamisama Nejimaki. Thanks!

question
meaning
What is the meaning of ルンパッパ？
Could this be ウンパッパ? In English, "Oom-pah-pah" is a conventionalised
representation of the sound of a large brass musical instrument such as a tuba
or trombone. It is the title of a rousing song in the musical "Oliver!", sung
in the film version by the great Shani Wallis.

answer
That is a mimetic word to feeling the rhythm of a song. So translate it into
"Rum-pa-ppa".

Rumpappa is the word combined "Run-run" and "Um-pa-ppa"

"Run-run" is a mimetic word expressing good/happy mood.

"Um-pa-ppa" is the title of song. This word is familiar with Japanese as they
sing it when in primary school.

"Um-pa-ppa" is "Oom-Pah-Pah" in musical "Oliver!".
