“Let’s Walk” Romaji and English lyrics
(HI, DOUZO!)
(Lets’ Go! )
DOKOMADE ARUITANOKA WAKARANAIKEREDO
I don’t know how far we’ve walked,
SUKOSHI NIMOTSUWO OROSHITE MATA ARUITE IKOU (YOI SHOT)
but we’ll put our baggage down a little and start walking again (Yoi-Shot!)
KUMORINOCHI DOSHABURIMO WARUKUWANAITO
Cloudy days followed by heavy rain aren’t so bad,
HARETA ASA KIZUITARA MATA ARUITE IKOU (KORA SHOT)
and when I wake up to a clear morning, we’ll start walking again (Kora-Shot!)
ANATATO SUGOSHITA HIBIWO TAKARABAKONI IRETE
I’ll put the days I spent with you in a treasure chest
HITOTSUMO NAKUSANAIYOU KAGIWO KAKERUYO (HAA DOSHITA)
and lock it so we don’t lose anything (Hi, what’s up?)
ITSUKA MAKUGA ORITARA ANATANI AERUKANA
I wonder if I’ll be able to see you someday when the curtain falls
SONOHIGA KURUTOKIMADE ARUITE IKERU (CHANTO)
Until that day comes, we can walk (properly)
ARUITE IKOU (EN’YA KORA, EN’YA KOHRA)
So Let’s walk (Enya cola, Enya cola)
YAMAARI TANIARI NAITARI WAROTARI MEGADETE HANASAITE
Ups and downs, Tears and laughs, and buds sprout and flowers bloom
(ANTANO BAN DOSU!)
(It’s your turn!)
KURAKU DOUSHIYOUMONAKU SAMISHII YORUWA
On a dark, hopelessly lonely night,
ANATAGA KURETA KOTOBAWO TSUBUYAITEMIRU (HAA DOSHITA)
I’ll try to whisper the words you gave me (Hey, what’s up?)
AITAIYO KONOUTAGA ANATANI TODOKIMASUKA?
I want to see you, and hope this song reach you
KON’YA YUMEDE AETANARA KITSUKU DAKISHIMETE (GYUTTO)
When I see you in my dreams tonight, hold me tight (So tight)
ITSUKA MAKUGA ORITARA ANATANI AERUKANA
I wonder if I’ll be able to see you someday when the curtain falls
SONOHIGA KURUTOKIMADE ARUITE IOKERU (CHANTO)
Until that day comes, we can walk (properly)
ARUITE IKOU
So Let’s walk
ARUITE IKERU (KITTO) ANATANI AUMADE (HI, DOZO! HI DOHZO!)
I can walk (surely) until I meet you (Here you go! Here you go!)
LALALALALA…
