Japanese English 小さくて　泣き虫で　やかましくて ふしぎなふしぎな生きもの 不器用で　戸惑って　心配ばかり ふしぎなふしぎな気もち “親子”ってなんだ？　“育てる”ってなんだ？ わからないことだらけだなぁ ただひとつ言えるのは キミのために生きるようになった とてもとても嬉しい　とてもとても温かい 生まれてきてくれて　本当にありがとう 本音言っていいなら　ずっといてほしいけど どこにいてもいつでも 俺はキミの父ちゃんだ キミが描いてくれたヘンな絵 ふしぎなふしぎな宝物 どんなこと考えてるの ふしぎなふしぎな命 頼りない足で　歩く姿 今ではもう立派にどこへでも飛んでゆけるさ とてもとても愛しい　とてもとても美しい 生まれてきてくれて　本当にありがとう 本音言っていいなら　ずっといてほしいけど どこにいてもいつでも 俺はキミの父ちゃんだ ヒーローじゃないし　スーパースターじゃないけど 俺はキミの父ちゃんだ 小さくて　泣き虫で　やかましくて ふしぎなふしぎな生きもの 不器用で　戸惑って　心配ばかり ふしぎなふしぎな生きもの 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 You drew me a funny picture It's a strange and wonderful treasure What could you be thinking? You strange and wonderful being The way you walk on those tiny helpless legs Now, you've grown to become a fine boy, leaping off to who knows where 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 If we can be honest with each other, I want to always be with you, but 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
