KANA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Chikukaku chikukaku nanika mitsukete
Tora neko chanto hari ito chanto papichan papipapi...
Hadashi de koko made pipipi kita yo
Ryoute de soba made pipipi sawatte...
Wakaranai no yo. Nani ga taisetsu?
Zaku zaku zaku zaku kowashite kette
Giza giza ishi koro kinka wa doko yo?
Marui chikyuu ni shikakuku sagasu
Tora ni? Omoi? Neko ni? Omoi? (kyuu kyuu papi*)
Tora hari neko ito ana hori papichan
Tora hari neko ito ana hori papichan
(Kyuu kyuu papipi*)
Yubisaki namete wa pipipi papipi
Ashisaki shimete wa pipipi matte...
Iranai no yo nani mo nai yo.
Kechi kechi kechi kechi katate de motte
Mawatte onaji basho wa nai no?
Tomatte uchuu ni kizami nokosu
Tora ni? Kokoro? Neko ni? Kokoro? (kyuu kyuu papi kyuu*)
Tora hari neko ito ana hori papichan
Tora hari neko ito ana hori papichan
Papichan papichan ana hori papichan
Tora hari neko ito ana hori papichan
Papichan papichan ana hori papichan
Tora neko chanto hari ito chanto
Chikukaku chikukaku nanika mitsukete
Tora neko chanto hari ito chanto papichan
Papi papi papichan papipipipi
The lyrics of Kana's song "Papichan" are filled with whimsy and mystery as they detail the adventures of "tora," "neko," and "hari ito" in their search for something important. The song begins with the line "Tora neko chanto hari ito chanto," which roughly translates to "Tiger, cat, needle thread, all in a row." Together, they proceed to "chikukaku chikukaku nanika mitsukete," which can be interpreted as them searching for something while tip-toeing around.
The next lines "Hadashi de koko made pipipi kita yo, ryoute de soba made pipipi sawatte" describe how the singers have arrived at a certain place barefooted, and they explore the area by using both their hands and feet. The following lines "Wakaranai no yo. Nani ga taisetsu? Zaku zaku zaku zaku kowashite kette" express the characters' confusion about what they are searching for and emphasize their focus on breaking things apart in their quest.
The chorus of the song is repetitive and emphasizes several sounds that add to the whimsy of the song. "Kyuu kyuu papi papi" and "Papichan papichan ana hori papichan" are repeated throughout the song, adding to the cheerful and joyful ambiance.

I love her voice this way! It sounds good high-pitched. This is my favorite song by her so far along with Chocolat.
