Japanese English とてもとても愛いとしい とてもとても美うつくしい 生うまれてきてくれて 本当ほんとうに　ありがとう 本音ほんね言いっていいなら ずっといてほしいけど どこにいてもいつでも 俺おれはキミの父とうちゃんだ ヒーローじゃないし スーパースターじゃないけど 俺おれはキミの父とうちゃんだ It's very, very dear It's very, very sweet Thank you, really For coming into my life If we can be honest with each other I want to always be with you, but No matter where you are I will always be your Dada Though I'm not a hero Or even a superstar I will always be your Dada

Movie version

Japanese English 小ちいさくて　泣なき虫むしで　やかましくて ふしぎなふしぎな生いきもの 不器用ぶきようで　戸惑とまどって　心配しんぱいばかり ふしぎなふしぎな気きもち “親子おやこ”ってなんだ？　“育そだてる”ってなんだ？ わからないことだらけだなぁ ただひとつ言いえるのは キミのために生いきるようになった とてもとても嬉うれしい　とてもとても温あたたかい 生うまれてきてくれて　本当ほんとうにありがとう 本音ほんね言いっていいなら　ずっといてほしいけど どこにいてもいつでも 俺おれはキミの父とうちゃんだ ヒーローじゃないし　スーパースターじゃないけど 俺おれはキミの父とうちゃんだ 小ちいさくて　泣なき虫むしで　やかましくて ふしぎなふしぎな生いきもの 不器用ぶきようで　戸惑とまどって　心配しんぱいばかり ふしぎなふしぎな生いきもの You're a small, noisy, whimpering thing What a strange and wonderful creature You're clumsy, bewildering, and worrisome Quite a strange and wonderful feeling What does it mean to be "a parent and a child"? What does it mean to "raise a child"? There are so many things that I don't understand But the only thing I know is I've come to live for you I am very, very happy, I feel very, very warm inside Thank you, really, for coming into my life If we can be honest with each other, I want to always be with you, but No matter where you are I will always be your Dada Though I'm not a hero or even a superstar I will always be your Dada You're a small, noisy, whimpering thing What a strange and wonderful creature You're clumsy, bewildering, and worrisome What a strange and wonderful creature
