All My Friends Are Insects

I have a friend and it's an earthworm

It burrows underground deep within the soil

Sometimes when it rains it comes out

and we talk about our day

I have a friend and she's a butterfly

she flies from flower to flower drinking sweet nectar

With hundreds of friends

they sleep up in the trees at night

I have a friend and he's a dragonfly

he sweeps around all day and hovers in the air

he's colorful and wonderful

his wings are strong and powerful

he's the dragonfly

These are my friends

even though they are bugs

They have a big role in our world

even though they're bugs

I have a friend and it's an earthworm

I have a friend and she's a butterfly

I have a friend and he's a dragonfly

They are my friends and yeah they're all insects

僕にはミミズの友達がいる

いつもは地下深くまで土を掘り進んでるけど

雨の日だけは地上に顔を出して

一緒に世間話をするよ

僕にはチョウの友達がいる

彼女は花を次々飛び回って甘い蜜を吸ってる

そして夜になるとたくさんの仲間と一緒に

木の中で眠っているんだ

僕にはトンボの友達もいる

彼は一日中すいすいと空を舞ったり止まったりしてる

その姿はとてもカラフルで美しくて

羽も丈夫で力強い

それが彼さ

彼らは虫だけど

みんな僕の友達だ

虫にだって

この世界で大きな役目があるんだよ

僕にはミミズの友達がいる

僕にはチョウの友達がいる

僕にはトンボの友達もいる

彼らはみんな友達さ　たとえみんな虫でもね
