shikaki kuni no shikakui machi ni ha
shikakui hito ga ippai sunderu
isogashisouni utsumuite aruku
sonna kuni no hazureno hazureno
wasuresarareta doubutsuen ni
mizutamamoyou no kaba ga umareta
azukiiro pinku no mizutama
tachimachi kare ha terebi wo kazatta
minna sassoku kare wo mi ni itta
mizutama no kaba wararesete okure
minna honto ha sabishii
dakara ichido demo ii kara
*tooi tooi machi kara yume wo shotte minna
ai ni yuku ai ni yuku
mizutamamoyou no kaba ha odoridasu
minna waraidasu waraidasu
kare wo mireba warai ga tomaranai
soreha soreha okashi na sugatasa
soshite hontoni kawairashikatta
daremo kaba wo ozakerumomo ha nai
kare ha yume wo noseta heerou
*repeat
shikakui kuni no shikakui machi deha
shikakui hito ga warai atteru
mina waraeba marui hito ni natta
kyoumo ashitamo mizutama no kaba ha
machi he mukatte te wo furi tsuzuketeta yo
In a square town of a square country
square people lives a lot
busily looking down as they walk
At the end of such country
in a zoo forgotten away
a polka-dot hippo was born
Azuki bean pink colored polka-dots,
Immediately he was displayed on television
everyone went to see him
The polka-dotted hippo smiled openly
Everyone was real lonely
Therefore once is enough
* From far far distant town,
dream comes everyone
goes to meet, goes to meet
The polka-dotted hippo
begins to dance
everyone bursts into
laughter, bursts into laughter
If he is seen, laughter will not stop
it is, it is a strange figure
and really cute
Everyone does not ridicule the hippo.
He is the hero who carries the dream.
* repeat
square people laugh at each other
when laughing everyone becomes round person
Today and tomorrow the polka-dot hippo
is continuing across town shaking hands
