歌を歌って　何かを伝える
小鳥の声を　私にくれた
歌を歌って　何かを伝える
小鳥の声を　私にくれた
小鳥の声は　遥か遠くまで
響き渡って　心にしみた
どこかの誰かも　思わず一緒に
口ずさんだら　小鳥は少しうれしくて
今日も小鳥は　よろこんで
少し自慢げに　歌ってる

uta wo utatte      	nanika wo tsutaeru
kotori no koe wo   	watashi ni kureta
uta wo utatte      	nanika wo tsutaeru
kotori no koe wo   	watashi ni kureta
kotori no koe wa   	haruka tooku made
hibiki watatte     	kokoro ni shimita
dokoka no dareka mo   omowazu issho ni
kuchizusandara      	kotori wa sukoshi ureshikute
kyou mo kotori wa   	yorokonde
sukoshi jimange ni  	utatteru

	singing a song   telling something
	the little bird gave its voice to me
	singing a song   conveying something
	the little bird gave its voice to me
	the little bird's voice, echoing far away
	sounds into my heart
	if somewhere, someone, unconsciously
	hums along, the little bird is a little joyful
	and today the little bird gladly
	with a little pride, sings
