English term or phrase: I'm just a bachelor, I'm lookin' for a partner

it is a song

lacy

Japanese translation:Dokushin no boku ga, kanojo wo sagashiteirunda

Explanation:
I tried to add a bit of rhyme!
Dokushin no boku ga, kanojo wo sagashite（i）runda
独身の僕が、彼女を探しているんだ
(it's that) batchelor me is looking for a girlfriend

or
dokushin no boku ga
dareka wo sagashiteirunnda

独身の僕が
誰かを探してるんだ

(it's that) batchelor me is looking for someone (a partner is pretty implicit)

or
dokushin no boku ga
dareka wo sagashiterunnda
独身の僕が
相手を探してるんだ

(it's that) batchelor me is looking for a partner.

The translator above is using the loan-word "pa-tona-," whereas I have used the similarly meaning Japanese word - "aite"

Kono dokushin no otoko wa koibito wo sagashiteiru

Explanation:
"This single man is looking for a lover"
I believe is the literal translation of the Japanese phrase I suggest.
In Japanese song lyrics, things do not rhyme, and Japanese songs tend to be a bit more forward about love and matters of the heart than Japanese people acutally allow themselves to be in person.
