Natsuhiboshi naze akai?
Yuube kanashii yume wo mita.
Naite hanashita.
Akai me yo.
Natsuhiboshi naze mayou?
Kiete warashi wo sagashiteru
Dakara kanashii yume wo miru.

Nenkororo, tsura nikusa.
Nenkororon, nenkororon.
Nenneko shasshari mase,
Kyō wa nijūgo-nichi sa.

Nenkororo, mame na yō ni.
Nenkororon, nenkororon.
