はやく　おとなに　なりたいんだ	Hayaku otona ni naritainda
え？　どうして	E? Doushite
はやく　おとなに　なりたいの	Hayaku otona ni naritai no
こどもってたのしいじゃない	Kodomo tte tanoshii janai
でもね　なんだか　なってみたい	Demo ne nanda ka nattemitai
じゃあ　こんどは　わたしのゆめ　いうわね	Jaa kondo wa watashi no yume iu wa ne

もういちど　こどもにもどってみたい	Mou ichido kodomo ni modottemitai
え？なんで	E? Nande
もういちど　こどもにもどってみたいの	Mou ichido kodomo ni modottemitai no
おとなでいいのに	Otona de ii no ni
いちにちだけでも　なれないかな？	Ichinichi dake de mo narenai ka na?
なれっこないよ	Narekkonai yo
うん、もういじわる	Un, mou ijiwaru

むかし　わたしが　まだこどもだったころ	Mukashi watashi ga mada kodomo datta koro
ポケットにいれてた　たくさんの　たからもの	Poketto ni ireteta takusan no takaramono
いまでも　ときどき　かおをのぞかせるのよ	Ima demo tokidoki kao o nozokaseru no yo
それって　もしかして　ピカチュウ？	Sore tte moshikashite Pikachuu?
さあ　なんでしょうね	Saa nan deshou ne

むかしのこども　いまのこども	Mukashi no kodomo ima no kodomo
ポケットのなかみはいつだって	Poketto no nakami wa itsudatte
おとこのこでも　おんなのこでも	Otoko no ko demo on'na no ko demo
ポケットのなかみはだれだってファンタジー	Poketto no nakami wa daredatte fantajii

ラン　ラン　ラン　ラン　ラン　ラン　ラン　ラ　ラン	Ran ran ran ran ran ran ran ra ran
ラララ　ラン　ラン　ラン　ラ　ラン	Rarara ran ran ran ra ran

Translation

The goal of the following translation is to present the meaning of the song in a competent, coherent way. It is not meant to be an English version of the song that can be sung along with the melody.

Girl: I want to hurry up and be a grown up
Woman: Eh? Why?
Girl: I want to hurry up and be a grown up
Woman: Being a child is fun, isn't it?
Girl: Yeah, but there are things I want to try.
Woman: Well, this time I'll tell you about my dream.

Woman: I want to try being a child one more time.
Girl: Eh? How come?
Woman: I want to try being a child one more time.
Girl: But bein' a grown up is nice...
Woman: Can't I become one, one more time?
Girl: No way I could get used to that!
Woman: Come on, I'm only kidding.

Woman: When I was still a child a long time ago
I put a lot of treasures into my pockets
Even now, I want to take a peek in them
Girl: What's in there? Pikachu?
Woman: Well, I wonder...

Both: Yesterday's kids and today's kids
Are always putting things in their pockets
Any boys and any girls
Have inside their pockets, a fantasy.

La la la la la la la la-la
Lalala la la la la-la
