* arukou  arukou  watashi wa genki
  aruku no  daisuki  don-don ikou
			Let's walk, let's walk, I feel fine.
			I love to walk, let's go quickly.

sakamichi  TONNERU  kusappara
ipponbashi ni  dekoboko jari-michi
kumo no su kugutte  kudari-michi
			An uphill road, a tunnel, a meadow,
			At a log bridge, a bumpy gravel path.
			Passing under a spiderweb, a downhill path.

* Repeat

mitsubachi ga  bun-bun  hana batake
hinata ni tokage  hebi wa hirune
batta ga tonde  magari-michi
			A honeybee buzzes in a field of flowers,
			a lizard in the sunshine, a snake takes a midday nap,
			a grasshopper leaps, along the curving path.

* Repeat

kitsune mo  tanuki mo  dete oide
tanken-shiyou  hayashi no oku made
tomodachi takusan  ureshii na
tomodachi takusan  ureshii na
			Foxes and badgers too, come out!
			Let's go exploring deep into the woods.
			I have lots of friends, I'm so happy.
			I have lots of friends, I'm so happy.

「となりのトトロ」オープニング・テーマ (1987)

※あるこう　あるこう　わたしはげんき
　あるくの　だいすき　どんどんいこう

さかみち　トンネル　くさっぱら
いっぽんばしに　でこぼこじゃりみち
くものすくぐって　くだりみち

※くりかえし

みつばち　ぶんぶん　はなばたけ
ひなたにとかげ　へびはひるね
ばったがとんで　まがりみち

※くりかえし

きつねも　たぬきも　でておいで
たんけんしよう　はやしのおくまで
ともだちたくさん　うれしいな
ともだちたくさん　うれしいな
