[English]

Hey sweetie sweetie

Sweetie sweetie (Hey! Ha!)

That's right, boring everyday

But suddenly your voice

Made the world that had stopped start moving

The lonely time is over

The secret flavor you gave me

Just like candy

Sweet, sweet

Sweet, sweet, love, love, love

Sweet

Lemon, mint, chocolate

Tell me, what flavor is it today?

You're my

Candy candy pop pop, yours

To your honey honey smile

My heart is racing

It won't stop

Hey, why sweetie?

Candy candy pop pop, with you

If I could spend sparkling days

That would be the best

You are candy pop

(Sweet)

Dear dear dear

The feelings are like candy stripes

Spinning around, colorful like a rainbow, hey!

There are sweet times

Sometimes it's bittersweet

(A little bittersweet)

Even if I see you every day, never get enough

I can't get tired of it

I can't get tired of it, one more time

(Sing it)

No matter how spicy, it's fine

I want it, I want it

I want it, I want it, love, love, love

Sweet

Red and white, yellow

Blue is the go sign

Be my

Candy candy pop pop, yours

Honey honey sweet voice

I can't hide my excitement at all

Scream right now

Candy candy pop pop, you

Give me lucky lucky days

Let me stay like this

You are candy pop

Ooo now now now

You're my candy pop

Ooo now now now

You're my candy pop

...

(Sweet)

Hey, I can't imagine days without you

Because when I think of you

Every day is exciting

It lifts my spirits

Makes me smile

I love you so much

You're my

You're my

Candy candy pop pop, yours

To your honey honey smile

My heart is racing

It won't stop

Hey, why sweetie?

Candy candy pop pop, with you

If I could spend sparkling days

That would be the best

You are candy pop

Ooo now now now

You're my candy pop

Ooo now now now

You're my candy pop

...
