Playing with Papa


Hughes: Elicia, Papa has the day off today but, do you want to go play somewhere?

The park you and papa play at

Elicia: The bicycle papa and I play with

Hughes: Jump towards the smiling sun, good morning


And to the buzzing bees flying to the flowers


Elicia: If you eat icecream
The scratchy beard becomes a white beard

Both: A kiss on the cheek please
#Holding hands tightly

Hughes: The fountain you and papa play at

Elicia: The amusement park papa and I play at

Hughes: The spinning rides are a little scary…


Sparkling matching crowns
Let's make some!

Elicia: Because Papa gives me a piggyback
even the fun sky flies

Both: It's like a picture book heaven
Holding hands tightly

Hughes: Elicia look this way!
Ok…Cheese!
awww so cute!

Both: The park you and papa play at
Playing hide and go seek with papa

Hughes: Being the dreaded 'it'
Let's decided with rock-paper-scissors

Even though we cry when it ends
It's actually only later**

Elicia: Papa heads*** toward the house
And runs really far

Hughes: I wonder how far we'll run
Looking back even a little is a no-no

Elicia: Because Papa gives me a piggyback
even the fun sky flies

Both: A kiss on the cheek please
Holding hands tightly, we'll play again

Elicia: I love you Papa

Hughes: Elicia, Papa loves you too!


* There are a lot of onomatopoeia (AKA sound effects) in this song, which I'm going to explain.
Nikoniko is the sound people make while grinning
Bunbun is the equivalent of 'buzz buzz'
chikuchiku is the sound a scratch surface makes when rubbed against something, in this case Hughes's beard against Elicia's face as he hugs her
Gyutto is the sound of holding onto something tightly
** This part was hard to translate but I think it's something like 'Even though the day of fun is over, it's actually not over because it's always fun, so it's just fun for later'…or something like that…very hard to explain
***'me wo tojite uchi ni' literally means turn your eyes toward home
# There's just no good simple english translation of this line. I guess you'd literally translate it as 'Squeezing tightly, holding hands nicely', but nicely means friendly in this case, but friendly doesn’t really work…

Note: Japanese people like to refer to themselves in the third person sometimes…especially if they're a parent and they're talking to their kids.
