Mori no Tontotachi

The Forest Dwarfs

Mori no Tontotachi

In the forest, on the bridge of the white birchMomi no ki sougen shiro ka ba no hashi
Toys and a waterwheel, oh what a sightOmocha kooba suisha koya
The forest dwarfs love their work so muchMori no tonto wa shigoto ga daisuki
Today, they're busy from the morning lightKyou mo asa kara isogashii
If the workload gets too bigShigoto no yama ga ookikerya
It becomes a source of pride, you knowSore ga jiman no tane ni naru no sa

With a wooden train and an origamiKibori no kisha ya orugooru
Pouring their hearts into what they createKokoro wo kome te horiageru

In the lake, the pasture, the forest so greenMizuumi makiba torooru no mori
Sweets and apples, oh what a sceneOkashi kooba ringo en
If the forest dwarfs can grow that treeMori no tontoga sono ki ni nare ba

Chocolate filled with fruitsKudamono iri no chokoreito
Eating too much, they say, "Watch out!"Tabe sugi da me yo to ii soe te
Stuffed to the brimGyuugyuu tsume teru
In a tin box, no doubtBuriki no hako ni

The swan and the sun in the plazaHakuchoo tonakai taiyou hiroba
Glass and toys, weaving a songGarasu kooba tsumugi uta
The forest dwarfs all get alongMori no tonto wa min'na nakayoshi
Living under the sun, where they belongO hi sama no moto de ikiteiru
Cherishing nature’s rules, they hold dearShizen no kimari wo taisetsu ni
Birds and beasts, all friends gathered nearTori mo ke mono mo nakama ni ire te
