Big Dango Family

This song translated as "Big Dumpling Family" appears at the end of each eposide of the anime Clannad and I feel isn't just very Kawaii but does capture the feel of what a family is.

Dango, dango, dango, dango, dango daikazoku

Dango, dango, dango, dango, dango, Big Dango Family

Yancha na yaki dango yasashii an dango

A mischievous roasted dango, a kind sweet bean dango

Minna, Minna, awasete hyakunin kazoku

Gather them all up and it’s a family of a hundred

Akachan dango ha itsumo shiawase no naka de

A baby dango is always cradled in happiness

Toshiyori dango ha me wo hosometeru

An old dango gazes with squinty eyes

Nakayoshi dango te wo tsunagi ookina marui wa ni naruyo

The dango friends will all hold hands and form a big circle

Machi wo tsukuri dango boshi no ue minna de warai auyo

They’ll found a village on a dango planet and all smile together

Usagi mo sora de te wo futte miteru dekkai otsuki-sama

The rabbits are waving their hands from the big moon

Ureshii koto kanashii koto mo zenbu marumete

Roll up all the happy and sad things…
