Hare detanara

Suteki na 'picnic day'

Tenkiame? sore mo mata tanoshi



English rap



Kaze no naka de kikoeru 'radio'

Soretemo okiniiri no 'cassette tape'



Mizu no naka no 'boat' asobi

Ichinichi-jyuu yurarete tai ne



'ice cream' ga toketatte

Okamainashi de atsu-atsu

Konnnani koi no kibun wa 'mellow'

Mellow mellow mellow mellow



English rap



Umarete kara

Kyou ga ichiban

Shiawase na hi kamone

Futari no



'ice cream' mo toketyau

'love love' ni nattyau

Honto ni koi no kibun ha 'mellow'

Mellow mellow mellow mellow

If it was a clear day,

We'd have a fantastic picnic day

Will it rain? that'd still be fun



English rap



I listen to the radio in the wind

Or my favorite cassette tape



Playing in a boat on the water

Don't you want to play all day?



Our ice cream is melting

But so what, we're in love

This feeling of love is mellow

Mellow mellow mellow mellow



English rap



Maybe

Today is

The happiest day

For us



Our ice cream is melting

We're head over heels in love

This feeling of love is so mellow

Mellow mellow mellow mellow



English rap again
