卜トロ トトロ トトロ トトロ

だれかが こっそり
小路に 木の実 うずめて
ちっさな芽 生えたら 秘密の暗号
森へのパスポート
すてきな冒険はじまる

となりのトトロ トトロ トトロ トトロ

森の中に むかしから住んでる
となりのトトロ トトロ トトロ トトロ
子供のときにだけ あなたに訪れる
不思議な出会い

雨ふり バス停
ズブヌレ オバケがいたら
あなたの雨ガサ さしてあげましょ
森へのパスポート
魔法の扉 あきます

となりのトトロ トトロ トトロ トトロ

月夜の晩に オカリナ吹いてる
となりのトトロ トトロ トトロ トトロ
もしも会えたなら すてきな しあわせが
あなたに来るわ

卜卜ロ 卜トロ 卜トロ 卜トロ

森の中に むかしから住んでる
となりのトトロ トトロ トトロ トトロ
子供のときにだけ あなたに訪れる

someone secretly
bury a berry in the side road and
when a small sprout grows, the secret code
is the passport to the forest
a wonderful journey will begin

my neighbor to to ro totoro to to ro totoro

living in the forest since the past
my neighbor to to ro totoro to to ro totoro
it visits you only when you are a kid
a very mysterious meeting

raining at the bus stop
if there's a drenched ghost,
let him under your umbrella
the passport to the forest,
the magical door will open

my neighbor to to ro totoro to to ro totoro

it blows upon its ocarina on the night if the moon
my neighbor to to ro totoro to to ro totoro
if you ever meet him, a wonderful happiness will
come to you

my neighbor to to ro totoro to to ro totoro
it visits you only when you are a kid
a very mysterious meeting
