This was the Opening for the Japanese version of Hamtaro.
Lyrics
Tottoko hashiru yo Hamutaro
Sumikko hashiru yo Hamutaro
Daisuki na no wa himawari no tane
yappari hashiru yo Hamutaro
Tottoko mawaru yo hamutaro
Kassha wo mawaru yo Hamutaro
Daisuki na no wa himawari no tane
Mawaru to ureshii Hamutaro
Tottoko nemuru yo Hamutaro
Dokodemo nemuru yo Hamutaro
Daisuki na no wa himawari no tane
Yappari nemuru yo Hamutaro
Lyrics (Translated)
Trotting, let's run, Hamtaro
Let's run to the corner, Hamtaro
I really like sunflower seeds
Indeed, we are running, Hamtaro
Trotting, let’s turn around, Hamtaro
Turning while painting, Hamtaro
I really like sunflower seeds
Turn around and be happy, Hamtaro
Trotting, let's sleep, Hamtaro
No matter where, let's sleep, Hamtaro
I really like sunflower seeds
Indeed, we are sleeping, Hamtaro
Lyrics (From English manga book)
Oh, watch him run, here and there, it's Hamtaro
He runs for fun in small, dark, places, my Hamtaro
Seeds are what he loves to eat, oh yummy sunflower seeds
Runs from the sun, oh yes he does, my Hamtaro
Oh, watch him go, round and round, my Hamtaro
A whiz-wheel pro, round and round he goes, my Hamtaro
Seeds are what he loves to eat, oh yummy sunflower seeds
He's running so; where will he go, my Hamtaro?
Oh, watch him doze, on and on, my Hamtaro
Anyplace goes for a little sleepy Hamtaro
Seeds are what he loves to eat, oh yummy sunflower seeds
Oh, yes, he knows how to sleep deep, my Hamtaro
