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

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

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

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

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

Arukou arukou watashi wa genki
Aruku no daisuki dondon yukou

Sakamichi tonneru kkusappara
Ippon bashi ni dekoboko jari michi
Kumo no su kugutte kudari michi

Arukou arukou watashi wa genki
Aruku no daisuki dondon yukou

Mitsubachi bun bun hanaba take
Hinata ni tokage hebi wa hirune
Batta ga tonde magari michi

Arukou arukou watashi wa genki
Aruku no daisuki dondon yukou

Kitsune mo tanuki mo dete oide
Tanken shiyou hayashi no oku made
Tomodachi takusan Ureshii na
Tomodachi takusan Ureshii na

Translation

 

Let's walk, let's walk, I'm fine
I like to walk so let's go on

Hills, tunnels, grass
Bridges, and bumpy gravel roads
Crawling under spider webs and downhill

Let's walk, let's walk, I'm fine
I like to walk so let's go on

The honey bee buzzes in the flower field
A lizard in the shade, the snake napping
A grasshopper hops, the turning road

Let's walk, let's walk, I'm fine
I like to walk so let's go on

Come out, foxes and raccoons
Let's explore deep into the woods
Happiness with many friends
Happiness with many friends
