Japanese
あれは なんだ?
ヒトかしら?
この島は無人島なのに
ヒトだよ やっぱり
ヒトを見るのは
何百年ぶりだろ
悪いヒト?
それとも いいヒト?
にゃあ にゃあ
おぼえても いないほど
ながい ながい 年月
助け合いながら にゃん にゃん
この島で 生きてきた
空を見てる時だけ
いつか 何かが来ると
なぜか 信じられて にゃん にゃん
肩寄せて
歌って あたため合った
感じる 今 空見上げると
胸いっぱい やさしい
気持あふれて
どこからか 子守歌 きこえてくる
これは何? 懐かしいのは なぜ?
感じる 今 空見上げると
知らないはずなのに
懐かしい世界
抱きしめて もらうって きっとこれね
待ってたんだね 今まで
きっとこれを
にゃおー にゃおー
にゃお
みゃあ
にゃん!

Are wa nanda?
Hito kashira?
Kono shima wa mujintou nano ni
Hito da yo yappari
Hito ga miru no wa
nanbyakunen buri daro
Warui hito?
Sore to mo ii hito?
Nyaa nyaa
Oboete mo inai hodo
Nagai nagai nengetsu
Tasukeai nagara nyan nyan
Kono shima de ikitekita
Sora wo miteru toki dake
Itsuka nanika ga kuru to
Nazeka shinjirarete nyan nyan
Katayosete
Utatte atatameatta
Kanjiru ima sora miageru to
Mune ippai yasashii
kimochi afurete
Doko kara ka komoriuta kikoete kuru
Kore wa nani? natsukashii no wa naze?
Kanjiru ima sora miageru to
Shiranai hazu nano ni
Natsukashii sekai
Dakishimete morautte kitto kore ne
Mattetanda ne ima made
Kitto kore wo
Nyao nyao
Nyao
Myaa
Nyan!

What is that?
I wonder if it’s people?
Though this island is uninhabited
It’s people! Just as I thought!
I wonder how many centuries it’s been
since we saw people?
Are they bad people?
Or else are they good people?
Nyaa Nyaa!
We can’t even remember
The long, long months and years
Where we worked together, Nyan, Nyan
Living on this island
Just when we look at the sky
Someday, something will come
For some reason, we believe that, Nyan, Nyan
Standing together,
Singing together to warm ourselves
Now as we look up at the sky, we feel it
Our hearts fill with a feeling of
overwhelming tenderness
Where is it from? The lullaby we hear
What is this? Why is this familiar?
Now as we look up at the sky, we feel it
Even though we shouldn’t know it…
It’s a familiar world
This is definitely what we want to be hugged by
What we’ve been waiting for until now
This is definitely it
Nyao! Nyao!
Nyao!
Myaa!
Nyan!
