Gareki no naka de uzukumaru yô ni boku-ra mezameta
Sute kirenakute zubunure no yume ude ni kakaete
Gareki no yama de mune ni te o ate boku-ra chikatta
Ano ni~tsu no boku ni wakarenokotoba chanto tsugenakya

Makeinu no tôboe no yôna sute neko no mâchi no yôna
Tsugihagi moyô no hata kakage sa~a, hajimeyou ka

Garakuta, yueni mi tôtatsu garakuta, saredo niritsuhaihan (ni ritsu wa ihan)
Kami kuzu-darake no sekai de moyasa rete shimau mae ni
Garakuta, tsumari mikansei garakuta, keredo shichitenhakki (shi chi ten hakki)
Gomibako no naka no omoi o ima buchimakete yo

Yabuketa yume mo kusatta yume mo ude ni kakaete
Ano ni~tsu no kimi ni hontô no koto chanto tsugenakya

Kagami no naka de naite iru kie-sôna yowai jibun o
Itsu made son'nani damasu nda me o akete okure

Garakuta, yueni mi tôtatsu garakuta, saredo niritsuhaihan (ni ritsu wa ihan)
Haiki-mono-mamire no umi de nagasa rete shizumu mae ni
Garakuta, tsumari mikansei garakuta, keredo shichitenhakki (shi chi ten hakki)
Gomibako no naka no omoi o ima buchimakete yo

Garakuta, yueni mi tôtatsu garakuta, saredo niritsuhaihan (ni ritsu wa ihan)
Azawarau koe sae kaki keshita nari yamanu seimei no koe
Garakuta, soredemo boku-ra wa todokanakutomo ashita e to tewonobasu
Gomibako no naka no omoi o ima buchimaketara
Kon'na boku-ra demo itsuka waraemasu ka.
