Original / Romaji Lyrics - English Translation

okina noppo no furu dokei
ojiisan no tokei
hyakunen itsumo ugoiteita
gojimanno tokei sa

This big tall old clock
is my grandfather's clock
for one hundred years it was always running
My grandfather was always proud of it

ojiisan no umareta asa ni
kattekita tokei sa
ima wa mou ugokanai sono tokei

The morning my grandfather was born
the clock was bought
Now the clock will run no more

hyakunen yasumazuni
chiku-taku chiku-taku
ojiisan to ishhoni
chiku-taku chiku-taku
imawa mou ugokanai sono tokei

One hundred years without stopping
tick tock tick tock
Along with my grand father
tick tock tick tock
Now the clock will run no more

nandemo shitteru furudokei
ojiisan no tokei
kireina hanayome yattekita
sono hi mo ugoiteta

The old clock that knows everything
is grandfather's clock
When a pretty bride arrived
The clock was still running that day

ureshii koto mo kanashii koto mo
mina shitteru tokei sa
imawa mou ugokanai sono tokei

Both happy and sad things
The clock knew all
Now the clock will run no more

ooh grandfather's clock tick-tock tick-tock
ooh grandfather's clock tick-tock tick-tock

ooh grandfather's clock tick-tock tick-tock
ooh grandfather's clock tick-tock tick-tock

ureshii koto mo kanashii koto mo
mina shitteru tokei sa
ima wa mou ugokanai sono tokei

Both happy and sad things
the clock knew all
Now the clock will run no more

mayonaka ni BELL ga natta ojiisan no tokei
owakare no toki ga kitano wo
mina ni oshietanosa
tengoku e noboru ojiisan
tokei to mo owakare
ima wa mou ugokanai sono tokei

In the middle of the night the bell rang
of my grandfather's clock
The time to separate had come
it had shown us all
My grandfather was rising to heaven
Separated from his clock as well
Now the clock will run no more

hyakunen yasumazu ni
chiku-taku chiku-taku
ojiisan to issho ni
chiku-taku chiku-taku
ima wa mou ugokanai sono tokei

One hundred years without stopping
tick tock tick tock
Along with my grandfather
tick tock tick tock
Now the clock will run no more

ima wa mou ugokanai sono tokei

Now the clock will run no more
