My Neighbour Totoro by Inoue Azumi

Translation: Theresa Martin

Totoro, Totoro, Totoro, Totoro,
Someone stealthily
buries nuts in the path.
When a tiny sprout grows,
[you'll find] a secret password--
the passport to the forest.
A wonderful adventure begins.

My neighbor
* Totoro, Totoro, Totoro, Totoro,
who has lived in the forest
since ancient times.
My neighbor Totoro, Totoro,
Totoro, Totoro,
only in your childhood age,
can one visit you--
a wonderous meeting.

The rain falls at the bus stop,
if the spirit is drenched,
open your umbrella for it.
The passport to the forest
opens the magic door.

My neighbor Totoro, Totoro,
Totoro, Totoro
plays an ocarina on moonlit nights.
My neighbor Totoro, Totoro,
Totoro, Totoro,
if you should ever meet,
wonderful fortune
will come to you.

*Repeat
Totoro, Totoro, Totoro, Totoro,
Totoro, Totoro, Totoro, Totoro.........
