She picks a suitable word for each song. It depends on the style of the word and the sound as well as the meaning.

[poker face] makes perfect sense in both English and Japanese. It's the same word. It made sense to put it in English because pookaafeesu doesn't look so great when romanized. On the other hand [you] is simpler than having to cycle through the Japanese words for you and picking out a suitable one (which likely would have been "kimi.")

hanabi has a different set of connotations than fireworks. hanabi are hakanaimono. ^^
