Like little children,
let us wander and play,
like butterflies,
let us flutter all around.
Did you tell them at home before coming,
hey little boy?
Drive the vehicle carefully!
Inside is an old beauty,
oh dear golden boy,
an "old is gold" party!
Hey Biskoth youngsters,
there are no watchful eyes here.
Just to speak with love and care,
there is nobody around.
If our grandson smiles,
there is no stress at all.
So what if we have grown old?
Just enjoy life!
Sour candy tastes sour,
cotton candy tastes sweet.
If we have to roam around the town,
it feels bitter and exhausting to us.
Troubles nearby may kick you,
leap over them and you will win.
Once you reach our age,
you too will gasp and falter.
Like little children,
let us wander and play,
like butterflies,
let us flutter all around.
Did you tell them at home before coming,
hey little boy?
Drive the vehicle carefully!
If you give advice, the kids won't listen,
these little bugs won't respect it one bit.
The life experience that us elders share
cannot be found in your computer knowledge.
We are not orphans, and yet
we live all alone.
Love is the only thing
that we search for, deep in our hearts.
Male: Hey Biskoth youngsters,
Female: To look with care... Male: There is no one!
Female: Just to speak with love and care,
Both: there is nobody around.
If our grandson smiles,
there is no stress at all.
So what if we have grown old?
Just enjoy life!
Sour candy tastes sour,
cotton candy tastes sweet.
If we have to roam around the town,
it feels bitter and exhausting to us.
Troubles nearby may kick you,
leap over them and you will win.
Once you reach our age,
you too will gasp and falter.
Like little children,
let us wander and play,
like butterflies,
let us flutter all around.
Did you tell them at home before coming,
hey little boy?
Drive the vehicle carefully!
