Aloha

Natsuyasumi wa ’hawaii’ de
Oyoide sawaii de
Yuukyuukyuuka de
Nonbiri sugoshimasho
Tokonatsu no ’paradise’
Omiyage wa ’macadamia nuts’
Yume no ’hawaii’

Kekkon shiki mo ’hawaii’ de
Mochiron kyookai de
Kinen shashin wa
’aloha’ ni ’muu-muu’ de
’honeymoon’ wa ’paradise’
Omiai mo kake ochi mo
Yume no hawaii

’waikiki beach’ ni afururu ’couple’
’pea rukku’
’honolulu’-shinai wa nihongo tsuujiru
’how much? ’

Tokonatsu no ’paradise’
Yume no yoo na ’schedule’

"chotto mattekudasai"

Rougo mo kitto ’hawaii’ de

Moo ichido dekakemasho
La la la la la la

Yume no hawaii

Aloha

For summer break
Let’s idle away the time in hawaii
Swimming and having a good time
On our paid vacation
Our usual summer paradise
A souvenir of macadamia nuts
Our hawaiian dream

A hawaiian wedding
At a church of course
And in the photo
In an aloha shirt and a muu-muu
The honeymoon is paradise
For the eloping or arranged couple
Their hawaiian dream

Waikiki beach is full of couples
In their "pair look"
Japanese is understood in honolulu
"how much? "

Our usual summer paradise
Our schedule’s like a dream

"please wait"

In our old age
Don’t make it a luxury
But for our own good
Let’s return to hawaii one more time
La la la la la la

A dream of hawaii

Aloha
