Japanese lyricsRomanizationTranslation

明日あしたになったら　バナナ食たべようよ
川かわの流ながれのように生いきたいよ

Ashita ni nattara banana tabeyō yo
Kawa no nagare no yō ni ikitai yo

When tomorrow comes, let's eat bananas
I want to live like the flow of the river

誰だれかがどこかで　楽たのしそうに笑わらう
それに合あわせれば　みんなKEEP ON DANCING
誰だれかがどこかで　涙なみだながしてる
そんな時ときは　集あつまろうよ

Dareka ga dokoka de tanoshisō ni warau
Sore ni awasereba minna KEEP ON DANCING
Dareka ga dokoka de namida nagashiteru
Sonna toki wa atsumarō yo

Someone, somewhere, is laughing happily
And if you can keep up with that, everyone will keep on dancing
Someone, somewhere, is shedding tears
In such a case, let's get together

雲くもの隙間すきまから元気げんきが
顔かお出だせば　あっちこっちで
心こころが晴はれてくるから

Kumo no sukima kara genki ga
Kao daseba atchi kotchi de
Kokoro ga harete kuru kara

When cheerfulness peeks out from between the clouds
Here and there
Hearts will brighten

明日あしたになったら　みんなに会あえる
星ほしに願ねがうよ　いい夢ゆめみようよ

Ashita ni nattara minna ni aeru
Hoshi ni negau yo ii yume miyō yo

When tomorrow comes, we'll all get together
We'll wish upon a star, let's have a good dream

Extended version[edit]

Japanese lyricsRomanizationTranslation

静しずかな森もりの中なかで暮くらしたいよ
電車でんしゃがなくても　オイラは大丈夫だいじょうぶ
明日あしたになったら　バナナ食たべようよ
川かわの流ながれのように生いきたいよ

Shizuka na mori no naka de kurashitai yo
Densha ga nakute mo oira wa daijōbu
Ashita ni nattara banana tabeyō yo
Kawa no nagare no yō ni ikitai yo

I want to live in a quiet forest
I can do without trains
When tomorrow comes, let's eat bananas
I want to live like the flow of the river

誰だれかがどこかで　楽たのしそうに笑わらう
それに合あわせれば　みんなKeep On Dancing
誰だれかがどこかで　傷きずついたときも
Sunshine優やさしく　ささやこうよ

Dareka ga dokoka de tanoshisō ni warau
Sore ni awasereba minna Keep On Dancing
Dareka ga dokoka de kizutsuita toki mo
Sunshine yasashiku sasayakō yo

Someone, somewhere, is laughing happily
And if you can keep up with that, everyone will keep on dancing
When someone, somewhere is hurt
Let's whisper sunshine softly to them

きっと変へんなこと　1ひとつじゃ
そりゃないさ　あっちこっちさ
めげたら　バカみるだけねー

Kitto hen na koto hitotsu ja
Sorya nai sa atchi kotchi sa
Megetara baka miru dake nē

It's probably just one weird thing
No, it's not. It's all over the place
If you get discouraged, you'll only make a fool of yourself

山やまをけずったら　仲間なかまがへったよ
人間にんげんさまよ　いつかわかってよ
明日あしたになったら　みんなに会あえる
星ほしに願ねがうよ　いい夢ゆめみようよ

Yama o kezuttara nakama ga hetta yo
Ningen-sama yo itsuka wakatte yo
Ashita ni nattara minna ni aeru
Hoshi ni negau yo ii yume miyō yo

When we eroded the mountains, we lost companions
Humans, someday, you'll understand
When tomorrow comes, we'll all get together
We'll wish upon a star, let's have a good dream

TheDonkey Konga 3 version ends here.

ものがなくってもずっと暮くらして行いけるから
話はなし相手あいてに語かたって悩なやみあれば
海うみに山やまに川かわに自然しぜんの道具どうぐでLife Style
忘わすれてた法則ほうそく
損そんなこと頭あたまで考かんがえる打算ださんは無なし
みんな五感ごかんで勝負しょうぶの価値かち
遊あそびに夢中むちゅう
果はてしない宇宙うちゅうに届とどくほどの想像そうぞうが結集けっしゅう

Mono ga nakutte mo zutto kurashite ikeru kara
Hanashi aite ni katatte nayami areba
Umi ni yama ni kawa ni shizen no dōgu de Life Style
Wasureteta hōsoku
Son na koto atama de kangaeru dasan wa nashi
Minna gokan de shōbu no kachi
Asobi ni muchū
Hateshinai uchū ni todoku hodo no sōzō ga kesshū

You can live without things for a long time
If you talk to a companion and have a problem
Life style through the tools of seas, mountains, rivers, and nature
The forgotten law
Without thinking about losses
Everyone is worth competing with all five senses
Absorbed in playing
Imaginations come together to reach the endless universe

誰だれかがどこかで　忙いそがしそうにしてる
イライラしてたら　ブスになるよ
誰だれかがどこかで　涙なみだながしてる
そんな時ときは　集あつまろうよ

Dareka ga dokoka de isogashisō ni shiteru
Iraira shitetara busu ni naru yo
Dareka ga dokoka de namida nagashiteru
Sonna toki wa atsumarō yo

Someone, somewhere, seems busy
If you get irritated, you'll turn into a hag
Someone, somewhere, is shedding tears
In such a case, let's get together

雲くもの隙間すきまから元気げんきが
顔かお出だせば　あっちこっちで
心こころが晴はれてくるから

Kumo no sukima kara genki ga
Kao daseba atchi kotchi de
Kokoro ga harete kuru kara

When cheerfulness peeks out from between the clouds
Here and there
Hearts will brighten

静しずかな森もりの中なかで暮くらそうよ
仲間なかまがいれば　オイラは大丈夫だいじょうぶ
明日あしたになったら　木き登のぼりしようよ
空そらに届とどくよ　夢ゆめは叶かなうよ

Shizuka na mori no naka de kurasō yo
Nakama ga ireba oira wa daijōbu
Ashita ni nattara ki nobori shiyō yo
Sora ni todoku yo yume wa kanau yo

Let's live in a quiet forest
I'll be fine as long as I have my friends
When tomorrow comes, let's climb a tree
We'll reach the sky, our dreams will come true

Here we go again
まわりくどく　言いわないで
ストレートがBEST
裏うらも表おもてもなく瞳ひとみにKISS
守まもるものが増ふえるほど
大人おとなのモードは
ちょっとシワが増ふえるよきっと
バカでいられる
感性かんせいが大切たいせつ
コンゴボンゴみんなビンゴどこも行列ぎょうれつ
好すきな仲間なかまとリズムはずむ
暮くらす笑わらいがあれば全すべて解決かいけつ

Here we go again
Mawarikudoku iwanaide
Sutorēto ga BEST
Ura mo omote mo naku hitomi ni KISS
Mamoru mono ga fueru hodo
Otona no mōdo wa
Chotto shiwa ga fueru yo kitto
Baka de irareru
Kansei ga taisetsu
Kongo Bongo minna bingo dokomo gyōretsu
Suki na nakama to rizumu hazumu
Kurasu warai ga areba subete kaiketsu

Here we go again
Don't talk around it
Straight (to the point) is the best
A kiss on the eyes with no back or front
The more we have things to protect
Adult mode
Surely causes wrinkles a bit
You can be stupid
Sensitivity is important
Everyone in Kongo Bongo, bingo, everywhere, lines up
Bouncing in rhythm with their favorite friends
If you have laughter in your life, it will solve everything
