Koronde surimuita toko

Chi ga nijinde shimiru keredo

Heccharasa sugu naoru kara

Ashita ni wa kasabuta dekiru

Kyou mo mata baka ni sareta yo

Hazukashii shi kuyashii keredo

Heccharasa oboeteoke yo

Ima ni waraikaeshite yaru

Misaki kara fune wo daseba

Kaze wo uke ho ga fukuramu

Boku wa ima tsuchi wo hanare

Nanatsu no umi wo mata ni kakeru

Kenka shite nagurareta toko

Murasakiiro aza ni natta

Hecchara sa kyou no tokoro wa

Maketa koto ni shitoite yaru

Oka ni tachi te wo hirogete

Kaze wo machi habataku no sa

Boku wa ima tsuchi wo hanare

Oozora wataru ichiwa no tori

Minami kara kaze ga fuite

Kyuu ni ame furihajimeta

Haru wa sugu tonari ni iru

Sentakumono torikomanakucha
