English translation

Like a fairy-tale, but it exists
(Yes!)     at the bottom     (Yes!)     of Lake Akan [1]
(Yes!)     Concealed even now
In an untouched sanctuary
See,     (Yes!)     Left alone     (Yes!)     It’s perfection
But if you want one,     go to a shop
Where they give you the secret

MARIMO MARIMO!
MARIMO MARIMO!
A round old lady that you hold in both hands
MARIMO MARIMO!
MARIMO MARIMO!
Made in a factory
MARIMO MARIMO!

Though you look all over the world, it’s rare to find
(Yes!)     Of the size     (Yes!)     and rotundity
(Yes!)     Producing this much marvellousness
Isn’t it such a special natural souvenir? [2]
(Yes!)     Hokkaido’s     (Yes!)     Pride
Even after leaving, it brings up feelings
Collecting memories in the glass jar [3]

MARIMO MARIMO!
MARIMO MARIMO!
With a carefree upbringing     floating and photosynthesizing
MARIMO MARIMO!
MARIMO MARIMO!
Pretty     fashionable
MARIMO MARIMO!

How pretty!     (Yes!)     How beautiful!     (Yes!)
Rocking on the cruiseferry
How pretty!     (Yes!)     How beautiful!     (Yes!)
In love, love
One!     Two!     Three!
AHHHHH!!!!
