みどりのひとみ美しく
Midori no hitomi utsukushiku

ライヤよ七色の未来へ

Raiya yo

(Translated)

Sparkling eyes are blinking

Laiya appears in a dream

A refreshing and bright wind

envelopes Laiya's heart

Laiya is a wonderful friend

In the jungle, a happy friend

of the jungle

(Interlude)

Her green eyes are beautiful

Oh, Laiya, your future is like a rainbow

An instrumental version of the song plays in episode 7 in the dub. This song was cut completely in the 1993 dub.

In episode 34, Sonia Owens, the voice of Kitty, sings the a dub of this song. The song is directed at Kimba (Leo) as a love song.

Bright sun on high,

Shine down your rays upon my head.

I know your light

Beams down upon my Kimba, too.

But, gentle breeze,

Blow gently to caress his cheek,

And whisper that

I love him with a love that's true.

Sweet Earth, below,

Do not shake lest he trip and fall.

And butterflies,

Tell Kimba that his Kitty loves

Him best of all.
