Chikyuu OOKESUTORA (Earth orchestra)
"Ranma 1/2 Nettouhen" opening theme (1991)

mimi o sumaseba  mienai tooku           If you listen closely, far out of sight
utatte iru  koe ga kikoeru              you can hear singing voices.

kono machi no naka  ano koe o dasu      In this city, ...
kikai nante                             the machine sending those voices,
mienai  nai yo                          you can't see it, not at all!

ano koe ga koko made  todokazu ni       Those voices never reached
                                           as far as here;
kaki-kesareta kara                      since they were wiped out,
kikoenai  ano suki-tootta uta           you can't hear that clear song.

kikoete kuru yo  chiisa na oto ga       Listen there!  A little sound--
kimi no tonari  me to hana no saki      next to your eyes and
                                        the tip of your nose

afure-dasu n da  midori no oto ga       The verdant sound starts to overflow,
dareka ga  jama sae shinakerya          so long as no one obstructs it.

kimi mo hitotsu no oto                  You too, are a single sound
hiroi daichi no ue ni umareta           born on this wide world.
kaero-o yo  ano oto no naka e           Let's return!  Into that sound!

natsukashii                             Fondly-remembered --
* yama no jinari de  RIZUMU kizameba    If you mark the rhythm
                                        with the rumbling mountains
  odotte iru chikyuu ga mieru           you can see the dancing earth
  dekkaku aoku  takaku hibike yo        resound vast, blue, and high,
  chikyuu OOKESUTORA                    Earth orchestra.

daisuki na  ano uta ni                  By that well-loved song,
kakomarete  itai na                     I want to be enveloped.

hora ne                                 Look --
* Repeat

kimi mo                                 You too,
* Repeat
