Japanese English
とてもとても愛しい
とてもとても美しい
生まれてきてくれて
本当に　ありがとう
本音言っていいなら
ずっといてほしいけど
どこにいてもいつでも
俺はキミの父ちゃんだ

ヒーローじゃないし
スーパースターじゃないけど
俺はキミの父ちゃんだ		 It's very, very dear
It's very, very sweet
Thank you, really
For coming into my life
If we can be honest with each other
I want to always be with you, but
No matter where you are
I will always be your Dada

Though I'm not a hero
Or even a superstar
I will always be your Dada

Movie version
Japanese English
小さくて　泣き虫で　やかましくて
ふしぎなふしぎな生きもの
不器用で　戸惑って　心配ばかり
ふしぎなふしぎな気もち

“親子”ってなんだ？　“育てる”ってなんだ？
わからないことだらけだなぁ
ただひとつ言えるのは
キミのために生きるようになった

とてもとても嬉しい　とてもとても温かい
生まれてきてくれて　本当にありがとう
本音言っていいなら　ずっといてほしいけど
どこにいてもいつでも
俺はキミの父ちゃんだ
ヒーローじゃないし　スーパースターじゃないけど
俺はキミの父ちゃんだ

小さくて　泣き虫で　やかましくて
ふしぎなふしぎな生きもの
不器用で　戸惑って　心配ばかり
ふしぎなふしぎな生きもの		 You're a small, noisy, whimpering thing
What a strange and wonderful creature
You're clumsy, bewildering, and worrisome
Quite a strange and wonderful feeling

What does it mean to be "a parent and a child"? What does it mean to "raise a child"?
There are so many things that I don't understand
But the only thing I know is
I've come to live for you

I am very, very happy, I feel very, very warm inside
Thank you, really, for coming into my life
If we can be honest with each other, I want to always be with you, but
No matter where you are
I will always be your Dada
Though I'm not a hero or even a superstar
I will always be your Dada

You're a small, noisy, whimpering thing
What a strange and wonderful creature
You're clumsy, bewildering, and worrisome
What a strange and wonderful creature

キミが描いてくれたヘンな絵
ふしぎなふしぎな宝物
どんなこと考えてるの
ふしぎなふしぎな命

頼りない足で　歩く姿
今ではもう立派にどこへでも飛んでゆけるさ

とてもとても愛しい　とてもとても美しい
生まれてきてくれて　本当にありがとう

You drew me a funny picture
It's a strange and wonderful treasure
What could you be thinking?
You strange and wonderful being

The way you walk on those tiny helpless legs
Now, you've grown to become a fine boy, leaping off to who knows where

It's very, very dear, it's very, very sweet
Thank you, really, for coming into my life
If we can be honest with each other, I want to always be with you, but
No matter where you are
I will always be your Dada

What a strange and wonderful creature
You're clumsy, bewildering, and worrisome
What a strange and wonderful creature
