Let's Go!
PURAPURA ika naku cha. Ika naku cha, kumo o kazoe te.
Sorosoro ika naku cha. Ika naku cha,
okure nai youni. Saa.
Hana mo kirei. Sora mo kirei. Honto kireina toko da wa.
Keshiki no ii chiisana oka. Chotto yasun de ikou kana.
Zutto koko ni i tai keredo sonna hima wa nai ne.
Jikan wa suguni sugi chau kedo shikata nai.
PURAPURA ika naku cha. Ika naku cha, kumo o kazoe te.
Sorosoro ika naku cha. Ika naku cha,
michikusa kuwa zu ni. Saa.
Kinou nai te kyou mo nai te namida ga kare te shimat ta.
Kutsu o kat te kami o kit te sukoshi sappari-shita kana?
Zutto kore ja IYAda keredo sonna yoyuu wa nai wa.
akirame ta wake ja nai no yo. Saa, dekake you.
FUWAFUWA ika naku cha. Ika naku cha, sora o watat te.
Nombiri ika naku cha. Ika naku cha,
okure nai youni. Saa.
Zutto koko ni i tai keredo sonna hima wa nai wa.
Kawara nai mono nanka nai wa. Saa, dekake you.
BURABURA ika naku cha. Ika naku cha, ocha o non dara.
Sorosoro ika naku cha. Ika naku cha,
okure nai youni. Saa. Ika naku cha, kaze ni fuka re te.
Yukkuri ika naku cha. Ika naku cha,
michikusa kuwa zu ni. HORA.
Let's Go!
For a stroll I've got to go. I've got to go, counting the clouds.
By and by I've got to go. Now I've got to go
before it's too late.
The flowers are pretty. The sky clears up. What a nice place!
I'll take a rest on this tiny hill commanding a fine view.
I'd like to stay here all day long, but I have no time.
Time flies. It can't be helped.
For a stroll I've got to go. I've got to go, counting the clouds.
By and by I've got to go. Now I've got to go
without hesitation.
I wept yesterday. I wept today, too. My tears ran out.
I bought new shoes and had my hair cut. Did I refresh myself?
I cannot be out of spirits forever. I have no time.
I don't give him up. Now I've got to go.
Floating lightly, I've got to go. I've got to go across the sky.
With a slow pace I've got to go. Now I've got to go
before it's too late.
I'd like to stay here all day long, but I have no time.
Everything changes. Now I've got to go.
For a stroll I've got to go. I've got to go after I have tea.
By and by I've got to go. Now I've got to go
before it's too late. I've got to go, blown in the wind.
With a slow pace I've got to go. I've got to go
without hesitation. Look!
