The Japanese Lyrics of "Nanairo Biyori" from "Non Non Biyori"

魚になって空は海 飛んでるように泳いでる あの山をヒトツ越えたら見えてくる 真っ直ぐに伸びたあぜ道にだれかの小っちゃな忘れ物 片っぽになったクツが示すは晴れ
Sakana ni natte sora wa umi Tonderu you ni oyoideru Ano yama wo hitotsu koetara mietekuru Massugu ni nobita azemichi ni dareka no occhana wasuremono Katappo ni natta kutsu ga shimesu wa hare

ゆるやかに続いてく日々は答えなどない
Yuruyaka ni tsuzuiteku hibi wa kotae nado nai

季節が水を染めて七色に光るよ 息継ぎしたら消えた 絶え間なく降り注いでる笑い声が遠くで歌うように響いてる
Kisetsu ga mizu wo somete nanairo ni hikaru yo Ikitsugi shitara kieta Taemanaku furisoideiru waraigoe ga tooku de utau you ni hibiiteru

逆さになって海の底 深く潜って目を凝らす ふたつ並んだ足跡は続いている 時計は乾いた音を止め世界は今にも消えそうだ 片っぽになったクツを拾いにゆこう

歌うように続いてく
Utau you ni tsuzuiteku

The English Translation of "Nanairo Biyori" from "Non Non Biyori"

Turning into a fish, the sky becomes the sea. Swimming as if flying, once you pass that mountain, you'll see it. Along the straight stretch of embankment, someone's forgotten little item, a lone shoe indicating clear weather.

The days that gently continue have no answers.

The seasons dye the water, shining in seven colors. Once you take a breath, they disappear. Laughter continuously raining down echoes as if singing in the distance.

Turning upside down, into the depths of the sea, diving deep and squinting. Two footprints side by side continue on. The clock stops with a dry sound, and the world seems about to vanish. Let's go pick up the lone shoe.

Night comes, morning comes, repeating and breathing. Gathering treasures, let's swim as if singing.

The seasons dye the water, shining in seven colors. Once you take a breath, they disappear.

When it's clear, let's hold hands. When it rains, let's dive. Let's gaze at the dyed town. Laughter continuously raining down echoes as if singing in the distance.

Continuing on as if singing.
