[English]

Spreading out on a fresh green carpet

Snow-white fishes are swimming in the skies

It makes me doze off in sweetness

I close my ruby cast eyes for now

I hear you

Run run

As fast as you can

You have no time to lose

You won’t get to anywhere

You have no idea

I'm not losing I'm just trying not to get there super fast

There are too many moments of happiness to just rush

Dwelling on the happy moments

I'm going to stroll

One step two step

Taking every

step nice and gentle

🐰

Resting on the burgundy ground

Floral fishes are swimming in the lake

It makes my mind go blank and

I forget where I was heading to for now

I hear you

Run run

You will fall behind

You have nothing but a dream

You will end up losing

You will be forgotten

You have no idea

I'm not losing I'm just trying not to get there super fast

There are too many moments of happiness to just rush

Dwelling on the happy moments

I'm going to stroll

One step two step

Taking every

step nice and gentle

I'm not losing I'm just trying not to get there super fast

There are too many moments of happiness to just rush

Dwelling on the happy moments

I'm going to stroll

One step two step

Taking every

step nice and gentle

🐰
