Lyrics[]
人 みんな コップの中の水 氷
溶けて 混ざれば みな同じ
夢は 明日の 心の約束
生きてりゃいいさ 友達さ
きりぎりす 東京きりぎりす
心 落ち葉の人の背に
きりぎりす 東京きりぎりす
歌っておくれよ いつまでも
人生は 砂糖で包む ぶどう粒
甘く 酸っぱい ものなのさ
恋は 淋しい心がするものさ
涙もあるさ 水色さ
きりぎりす 東京きりぎりす
風も 冷たいこの街に
きりぎりす 東京きりぎりす
歌っておくれよ 青い空
きりぎりす 東京きりぎりす
心 落ち葉の人の背に
きりぎりす 東京きりぎりす
歌っておくれよ いつまでも
hito minna KOPPU no naka no mizu koori

We, the human beings, are all like water and ice cubes in a same cup
When we melt and lose our appearances, we are all identical inside
Dreams are a promise to our hearts for the future
All I ask for my friends are to be alive and well
Grasshoppers, Tokyo grasshoppers
Our hearts are like fallen leaves carried on the back of their lonely bodies
Grasshoppers, Tokyo grasshoppers
Please sing for us forever, forever and ever
Life is like a piece of sugar-coated grape
It’s supposed to taste sweet and sour
You are supposed to feel lonely when you’re in love
There are the days when you cry and feel blue
Grasshoppers, Tokyo grasshoppers
In this city where cold wind harshly blows
Grasshoppers, Tokyo grasshoppers
Please sing for us forever, about the bright blue sky
Grasshoppers, Tokyo grasshoppers
Our hearts are like fallen leaves carried on the back of their lonely bodies
Grasshoppers, Tokyo grasshoppers
Please sing for us forever, forever and ever
