[English]

A slightly mysterious everyday story

Between my fingertips and the desk, a two-dimensional world

You, who fell behind, and that perfect child

Living in the same dimension under the same cloud

There lies the fourth dimension

Even machines shed tears

Shaking, they would shout courage

So come here, let’s go on an adventure together

Even if you’re nobody, let’s save the world

Someday, as time flows, we will surely arrive

I’ll be able to meet you

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do, Doraemon

The past behind me and the shining future

Let’s connect them in this moment, where red blood flows

Let’s connect, together

You, who sulks, and that quiet child

His song will surely save someone

So come here, let’s go on an adventure together

Even if you’re nobody, let’s save the world

Someday, as time flows, we will surely arrive

I’ll be able to meet you

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do, Doraemon

Even a typhoon feels pain in its heart

With love, it would say goodbye

Continuing to search for what you left behind

From floating fantasies, a new future is born

Come here, let’s go on an adventure together

Even if you’re nobody, let’s save the world

Someday, as time flows, we will surely arrive

I will create you

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do, Doraemon

That’s it

That’s it

That’s it, that’s it, so here we go

Doraemon's new single by Gen Hoshino

[Japanese]

少しだけ不思議な　普段のお話

指先と机の間　二次元

落ちこぼれた君も　出来すぎあの子も

同じ雲の下で　暮らした次元

そこに四次元

機械だって　涙を流して

震えながら　勇気を叫ぶだろう

だから　ここにおいでよ　一緒に冒険しよう

何者でもなくても　世界を救おう

いつか　時が流れて　必ず辿り着くから

君に会えるよ

どどどどどどどどど　ドラえもん

背中越しの過去と　輝く未来を

赤い血の流れる　今で繫ごう

僕ら繫ごう

拗ねた君も　静かなあの子も

彼の歌も　誰かを救うだろう

だから　ここにおいでよ　一緒に冒険しよう

何者でもなくても　世界を救おう

いつか　時が流れて　必ず辿り着くから

君に会えるよ

どどどどどどどどど　ドラえもん

台風だって　心を痛めて

愛を込めて　さよならするだろう

君が遺したもの　探し続けること

浮かぶ空想から　また未来が生まれる

ここにおいでよ　一緒に冒険しよう

何者でもなくても　世界を救おう

いつか　時が流れて　必ず辿り着くから

君をつくるよ

どどどどどどどどど　ドラえもん

それそれ

それそれ

それそれそれそれそーれー
