It's the difference 違いがあるから
世界は廻る ひとはそれぞれよ
時には短いのが長くなったり
弱いのが強くなったり それが現実
だから面白いのよ すべて違うから

It's the difference だから面白いのよ
時には甘いのが酸っぱくなったり
弱者が強者になったり 
そしてすべては思い通りに
行かないものなのよ それが現実
だから面白いのよ

-English interlude-
There's all kind of money; they got red, green and blue.
They got big money, they got small money,
they got round and square money too.
その通り

They got money out in China and money out in Timbuktu.
And Clide you know they got plenty of money where the Pope lives.
That's right, you know they got all kinds of people.
They got black, brown people and red;
そう そう yeah

they got blue eyes, they got red eyes,
they got all kinds of hair up on their head.
They got yellow hair, they got nappy hair,
they got hair that's upside down -

だけど どこに行こうと
ひとつだけ確かなことがあるわ
それが 「違い」 って言う 個性なのよ
それが世の中 だから面白いのよ

時には短いのが長くなったり
弱いのが強くなったり それが現実
だから面白いのよ そうよ個性なの

It's the difference だから面白いのよ
時には甘いのが酸っぱくなったり
弱者が強者になったり
最初が最後になったり
遅いのが早くなったり それが現実

だから面白いのよ
個性!個性!個性!

だから世界は廻る!

It's the difference 素敵なことよ
それは個性 みんなそれぞれよ
時には甘いのが酸っぱくなったり
弱者が強者になったり
違いがあるから世界は廻る
ひとはそれぞれ それ 現実

だから面白いのよ
個性!個性!個性!

It’s the difference Because there’s difference
the earth turns* Each person is individual
At times the short becomes long
the weak becomes strong That’s reality
Therefore it’s interesting Because everything’s different

It’s the difference That’s why it’s interesting
At times the sweet becomes sour
the weak become the strong
and everything doesn’t work out
the way one wants That’s reality
