[日本語]

[English]

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

人生は海のように

Life is like the ocean

寄せては返す波

Waves come crashing in

心揺れる時もあるけど

Sometimes our hearts are shaken

(Don’t worry you will see)

(Don’t worry you will see)

大丈夫、めげないで

It’s okay, don’t be discouraged

Don’t you give up don’t you give in

Don’t you give up, don’t you give in

漕ぎ出そう here we go!

Let’s set sail, here we go!

Enjoy the ride

Enjoy the ride

少しの勇気出したら be happy

If you have just a little courage, be happy

海の中に

Deep inside the sea

Oh let me take you there

Oh, let me take you there

潜ればそこに広がるファンタジー

Dive in, and a world of fantasy unfolds

Our happiness is here

Our happiness is here

届けていこう

Let’s share it

Let’s get to dancing

Let’s get to dancing

誰でも心に海より深い愛がある

Everyone’s got a love deeper than the sea in their heart

So keep on dreaming

So keep on dreaming

みんなで飛び出そう

Let’s all jump out together

夢を掴もう let’s catch the wave

Grab your dream, let’s catch the wave

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Throw your hands in the air

Throw your hands up high

その手 右から左へ

From right to left with your hands

音の波に乗って like your just don’t care

いま声を聞かせて
