Lyrics[]

ゾウさんのめは　なぜあおい
とおくはなれた　ふるさとの
大草原を　みてるから?
それともゆうべ　ゆめにみた
おおきなうみが　うつるから?

ゾウさんのめは　なぜほそい
いつもげんきな　こどもたち
おめめほそめて　みてるから?
それともひとり　さびしくて
ないてはおめめ　こするから

ゾウさんのめは　ほしのよう
ひとのこころを　ひきよせる
南十字の　ほしのよう
いつかはきっと　ふるさとへ
かえれるゆめを　みてるよう

Zō san no me wa naze aoi
tōku hanare ta furusato no
dai sōgen o miteru kara ?
soretomo yūbe yume ni mi ta
ōkina umi ga utsuru kara ?

zō san no me wa naze hosoi
itsumo genki na kodomo tachi
o me me hosome te miteru kara ?
soretomo hitori sabishiku te
nai te wa o me me kosuru kara

zō san no me wa hoshi no yō
hito no kokoro o hikiyoseru
minami jū ji no hoshi no yō
itsuka wa kitto furusato e
kaereru yume o miteru yō
