Romanized Lyrics

Warai atte tsunagi atte
Kyou mo dokoka e hitamuki na anata ni

HURRAH!

Nande nande ai wa nande watashitaku naru
Hitori ja tsukurenai irodori wo ima sakaseyou

Urarara ameagari no eki da yo
Itsumo yasashii egao da ne taihen da na
Oikaze dake ja nai sutoorii wo
Hitori hitotsu kurashi tsuzukeru

Wasurenai de (kitto) anata datte (motto)
Dareka no koe wo aiseru hazu da kara ne
Katariaeba (sotto) majiriau kimochi ga
Tobihaneru you ni sekai wo ugokashiteiku

Warai atte tsunagi atte
Kyou mo dokoka e hitamuki na anata ni

HURRAH!

Nande nande ai wa nande tsuzuite yuku no
Hitori ja nai kara da irodori wo ima sakaseyou

NA NA NA NA namidatsubu harahara to
Daremo shirezu koborete ku kuyashii yo ne
Donnani hana ni mizu wo agete mo
Iyashikirenai itami mo aru yo

Tanoshii dake ja (nai ne) ureshii dake ja (nai ne)
Kuzukeru tabi ni okashiku (yasashiku) takumashiku ne
Surechigai mo (chotto) itoshii dekoboko da
Fuzoroi nanda sono te mo hitotsu no yume

Sakebi atte butsuke atte
Soshite yurushite bukiyou na bokura ni

HURRAH!

Nande nande kaze wa nande kokochiyoi mama
Kimochi ga komerareta irodori wa mou kienai

Haruna tsuakifuyu wo koete takusan no negai ga saite
Soredemo nazeka chotto sabishii owari no nai tabi da

Warai atte tsunagi atte
Ashita ga kuru yo kore kara mo anata to

HURRAH!

Nande nande ai wa nande dakishimetai no
Hitori wo tsunaide ku ima ima ima

Warai atte tsunagi atte
Kyou mo dokoka e hitamuki na anata ni

HURRAH!

Nande nande ai wa nande watashitaku naru
Hitori ja tsukurenai irodori wo ima sakaseyou

English Lyrics

Laughing together, hands held tight
Today again, to you, so dedicated, heading somewhere

HURRAH!

Why, why, why, why is it that love makes us want to give it?
Let's make the colors bloom now, the vibrancy we can't create alone!

Ura-rara... It's the station after the rain
Your smile is always gentle, it must be tough sometimes, huh?
We keep living, each with our own story
A tale that isn't just a tailwind

Don't forget (surely), you too (even more)
Must be able to love someone's voice, you see
As we talk together (gently), feelings mingling
They start to move the world, as if they leap and soar

Laughing together, hands held tight
Today again, to you, so dedicated, heading somewhere

HURRAH!

Why, why, why, why is it that love keeps going on?
It's because we're not alone! Let's make the colors bloom now!

Na na na na... Teardrops fall, trembling down...
Falling, known to no one... It's frustrating, isn't it?
No matter how much water you give the flowers
There's pain that can't be fully healed

It's not just fun, is it? Not just happiness, is it?
Each time you get knocked down, you become funny, tender, resilient
Even passing disagreements (just a little) are lovable bumps in the road
Our hands may be mismatched, but even they hold one dream

Shouting at each other, clashing together
And then forgiving... us awkward ones

HURRAH!

Why, why, why, why does the wind feel so good?
The colors born of feeling will never fade now

Crossing over spring, summer, autumn, winter, countless wishes bloomed
Even so, somehow, it's a little lonely, this never-ending journey

Laughing together, hands held tight
Tomorrow will come... from now on, with you

HURRAH!

Why, why, why, why is it that love makes me want to hold it close?
Connecting us, heart to heart, now, now, now

Laughing together, hands held tight
Today again, to you, so dedicated, heading somewhere

HURRAH!

Why, why, why, why is it that love makes us want to give it?
Let's make the colors bloom now, the vibrancy we can't create alone!

Japanese Lyrics

笑いあって つなぎあって
今日もどこかへ ひたむきなあなたに

HURRAH!

なんでなんで 愛はなんで 渡したくなる
ひとりじゃつくれない 彩りを今 咲かせよう

うららら 雨上がりの駅だよ
いつも優しい 笑顔だね 大変だな
追い風 だけじゃないストーリーを
ひとりひとつ 暮らしつづける

忘れないで(きっと)あなただって(もっと)
誰かの声を愛せるはずだからね
語り合えば(そっと)まじりあう気持ちが
飛び跳ねるように 世界を動かしていく

笑いあって つなぎあって
今日もどこかへ ひたむきなあなたに

HURRAH!

なんでなんで 愛はなんで つづいていくの
ひとりじゃないからだ 彩りを今 咲かせよう

NA NA NA NA 涙粒 はらはらと
誰も知れず こぼれてく 悔しいよね
どんなに 花に水をあげても
癒しきれない 痛みもあるよ

楽しいだけじゃ(ないね)嬉しいだけじゃ(ないね)
くじけるたびに 可笑しく(やさしく)たくましくね
すれちがいも(ちょっと)愛しいでこぼこだ
ふぞろいなんだ その手もひとつの夢

さけびあって ぶつけあって
そして許して 不器用な僕らに

HURRAH!

なんでなんで 風はなんで 心地よいまま
気持ちがこめられた 彩りはもう 消えない

春夏秋冬を越えて たくさんの願いが咲いて
それでもなぜか ちょっと寂しい 終わりのない旅だ

笑いあって つなぎあって
明日がくるよ これからもあなたと

HURRAH!

なんでなんで 愛はなんで 抱きしめたいの
ひとりをつないでく いま いま いま

笑いあって つなぎあって
今日もどこかへ ひたむきなあなたに

HURRAH!

なんでなんで 愛はなんで渡したくなる
ひとりじゃつくれない 彩りを今 咲かせよう
