曲りくねり はしゃいだ道
Twisting and turning, a lively path,
青葉の森で駆け回る
I run around in the leafy forest.
遊びまわり 日差しの街
Playing around in the sunlit town,
誰かが呼んでいる
Someone is calling out.
夏が来る 影が立つ あなたに会いたい
Summer is coming, shadows emerge, I want to see you.
見つけたのはいちばん星
What I found was the brightest star.
明日も晴れるかな
Will tomorrow be sunny too?
パプリカ 花が咲いたら
When the paprika flowers bloom,
晴れた空に種を蒔こう
Let's sow seeds in the clear blue sky.
ハレルヤ 夢を描いたなら
Hallelujah, if I've painted a dream,
心遊ばせあなたにとどけ
With my heart set free, I send this to you
雨に燻り 月は陰り
Veiled by rain, the moon is dimmed
木陰で泣いてたのは誰
Who was it that cried under the tree's shade?
一人一人 慰めるように
One by one, as if to comfort them
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
When I count my joys, it's all filled with you
帰り道を照らしたのは
What lit the way home was
思い出のかげぼうし
The shadow of cherished memories
パプリカ 花が咲いたら
When the paprika blooms and blossoms
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've painted a dream
心遊ばせあなたにとどけ
I'll send it to you with my heart set free
会いに行くよ 並木を抜けて
I'm on my way to see you, through the tree-lined path
歌を歌って
Singing a song
手にはいっぱいの 花を抱えて
With my hands filled with a bouquet of flowers
らるらりら
La la la la
会いに行くよ 並木を抜けて
I'm on my way to see you, through the tree-lined path
歌を歌って
Singing a song
手にはいっぱいの 花を抱えて
With my hands filled with a bouquet of flowers
らるらりら
La la la la
パプリカ 花が咲いたら
Paprika, when the flowers bloom
晴れた空に種を蒔こう
Let's sow the seeds in the clear blue sky
ハレルヤ 夢を描いたなら
Hallelujah, if you've painted your dreams
心遊ばせあなたにとどけ
I'll send my heart to you, let it soar
かかと弾ませこの指とまれ
With my heels tapping, let this finger stay
