| 大波 小波 さざ波 Ke・Ke・Ke 流れ着いたのは なに? 浜辺でみつけた贈り物 それは扉を開ける カギかもね... 扉の 向こうは 楽しい 風ばかりじゃない だけども しあわせのスウィーツ それさえ あれば なんとかなるもんだよ 大波 小波 さざ波 Ke・Ke・Ke 流れ着いたのは なに? 浜辺でみつけた贈り物 君が呼んだもの かもしれないね |
Onami sazanami sazanami Ke, ke, ke Nagaretsuita no wa nani? Hamabe de mitsuketa okurimono Sore wa tobira o akeru kagi kamo ne... Tobira no mukō wa tanoshī Kaze bakari janai dakedomo shiawase no suuītsu Sore sae areba nantoka naru monda yo Onami sazanami sazanami Ke, ke, ke Nagaretsuita no wa nani? Hamabe de mitsuketa okurimono Kimi ga yonda mono kamo shirenai ne |
A wave, a splash, a ripple Ke, ke, ke At the shore's end, what shall there be? A gift found on the beach This is the key to open the door... Beyond the door a pleasant time waits Not just the wind but also sweets of happiness As long as you have those it'll all be okay A wave, a splash, a ripple Ke, ke, ke At the shore's end, what shall there be? A gift found on the beach It might be calling out to you |
