Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

曲りくねり　はしゃいだ道

Winding and playful streets

青葉の森で駆け回る

Running wild in the green-leafed forest

遊びまわり　日差しの街

Playing around in the sunny town

誰かが呼んでいる

Someone is calling out

夏が来る　影が立つ

Summer is coming, shadows are looming

あなたに会いたい

I want to see you

見つけたのはいちばん星

The brightest star is what I found

明日も晴れるかな

Will it be sunny again tomorrow?

パプリカ　花が咲いたら

Paprika, once the flowers bloom

晴れた空に種を蒔こう

Let's sow seeds in a clear sky

ハレルヤ　夢を描いたなら

Hallelujah, if you draw your dreams

心遊ばせあなたにとどけ

Let your heart play and send it to you

雨に燻り　月は陰り

In the rain, the moon dims

木陰で泣いてたのは誰

Who was crying in the shade of the trees?

一人一人　慰めるように

Comforting each one of us

誰かが呼んでいる

Someone is calling out

喜びを数えたら　あなたでいっぱい

Counting all the joy, it's all full of you

帰り道を照らしたのは

What lit up our way home

思い出のかげぼうし

The shadow of memories

パプリカ　花が咲いたら

Paprika, once the flowers bloom

晴れた空に種を蒔こう

Let's sow seeds in a bright sky

ハレルヤ　夢を描いたなら

Hallelujah, if you draw your dreams

心遊ばせあなたにとどけ

Let your heart play and send it to you

会いに行くよ　並木を抜けて

I'm coming to see you, passing through the trees

歌を歌って

Singing a song

手にはいっぱいの　花を抱えて

Holding a bunch of flowers in my hands

らるらりら

La la ri la

会いにいくよ　並木を抜けて

I'll come to see you, passing through the trees

歌を歌って

Singing a song

手にはいっぱいの　花を抱えて

Holding a bunch of flowers in my hands

らるらりら

La la ri la

パプリカ　花が咲いたら

Paprika, once the flowers bloom

晴れた空に種を蒔こう

Let's sow seeds in the clear sky

ハレルヤ　夢を描いたなら

Hallelujah, if you draw your dreams

心遊ばせあなたにとどけ

Let your heart play and send it to you

かかと弾ませこの指とまれ

Bounce your heels and stop right here
