Japanese

あの交差点で　みんながもしスキップをして
もしあの街の真ん中で　手をつないで空を見上げたら
もしもあの街のどこかで　チャンスがつかみたいのなら
まだ泣くのには早いよね　ただ前に進むしかないわいやいや

PONPON　進む　色々なこと
どんどん　キテる？　あなたのキモチ
POIPOI　捨てる悪い子はだれ？
そうそう　いいコ　ああ
You Make Me Happy

Every Day PON
Every Time is PON
メリーゴーラウンド　のりたいの
Every Day PON
Every Time is PON
たぶん　そんなんじゃ　ダメでしょ

PONPONうぇいうぇいうぇい
PONPONうぇいPONうぇいPONPON
うぇいうぇいPONPONPON
うぇいうぇいPONうぇいPONうぇいうぇい

Romaji

English

If all of us went skipping in that crossing
If we stood holding hands in the center of that town and looked up at the sky
If you want to take a chance somewhere in that city
Then it’s still too early to cry — all you can do is keep moving forward, no, no

All the things bursting and charging ahead
Are they showing up so fast? Your feelings
Poi-poi, who’s the bad one who’d throw them away?
Right, right, you’re a good kid, ah
You make me happy

Every day pon
Every time is pon
I wanna ride a merry-go-round
Every day pon
Every time is pon
That’s probably not such a good idea, is it?

It’s okay for it to come popping out
If that never happens, it gets boring, doesn’t it?
I put on my headphones and get lost in the rhythm
And my own path opens up with a way-way

Pon-pon-way-way-way
Pon-pon-way-pon-way-pon-pon
Way-way-pon-pon-pon
Way-way-pon-way-pon-way-way
