[English]

Doko ni ikō Hachikō...

Take you anywhere I'm ready

Give you anything I'm carefree

Seems like I'm the only thing that you need

It's easy, not so hard to make you happy

While everybody's screamin' shoutin'

We're so chill out here just vibin'

Tryin' to spread this peacefulness with y'all

Our holiday's just getting started

Just be kind and open hearted

Feel the breeze and let God bless us all

(Doko ni ikō Hachikō...)

You've been patiently waiting for me

You've been patiently waiting for me

Doko ni ikō Hachikō

This time I'll never let you go

Doko ni ikō Hachikō

This time I'll never let you go

You've been patiently waiting for me

Went through everything to reach you

There' so many ways to please you

You can pick whatever you'd like to do

Anything that satisfies your soul

While everybody's screamin' shoutin'

We're so chill out here just vibin'

Tryin' to spread this peacefulness with y'all

Our holiday's just getting started

Just be kind and open hearted

Feel the breeze and let God bless us all

(Doko ni ikō Hachikō...)

You've been patiently waiting for me

You've been patiently waiting for me

Doko ni ikō Hachikō

This time I'll never let you go

Doko ni ikō Hachikō

This time I'll never let you go

You've been patiently waiting for me

Doko ni ikō Hachikō

This time I'll never let you go

We don't need to rush, take it slow

This time, I'll never let you go

Doko ni ikō Hachikō

This time I'll never let you go

We don't need to rush, take it slow

This time, I'll never let you go
