Dango, dango, dango, dango, a big dango family
Dango, dango, dango, dango, a big dango family

The naughty fried dango, the kind red bean dango
The Mid-Autumn Festival dango tends to dream a little
The prim sesame dango, the four dango on a skewer
Everyone, everyone comes together and it’s a family of 100s

The baby dango is always within happiness
The aged dango has its eyes narrowed

The chummy dango hold their hands together and make a big, round ring
They build a town on the dango planet and everyone laughs together
The rabbit is trying to wave in the sky; the huge moon
Is rounding up everything, happy things and sad things, too

The chummy dango hold their hands together and make a big, round ring
They build a town on the dango planet and everyone laughs together
The rabbit is trying to wave in the sky; the huge moon
Is rounding up everything, happy things and sad things, too

Dango, dango, dango, dango, a big dango family
Dango, dango, dango, dango, a big dango family

Dango, dango, dango, dango, a big dango family
Dango, dango, dango, dango, a big dango family

  1. “minna minna awasete hyakunin daikazoku”

    ‘daikazoku’ should just be ‘kazoku’ in this line, no? 😛

    this song is adorable.

  2. Thanks again!

  4. Hey, I just noticed something about this song…the melody sound a lot like “Chiisana Te no Hira”

  5. Thanks for the lyrics! I love this song. It’s so random yet adorable.

    Such a cute song! Thanks for the lyrics!
    Is the full version of it out yet?

  8. this is not how the song goes the subbed version does the english translation different … it goes

    dango dango dango dango

    a mischivious roasted dango, a kind sweet bean dango

    gather them up its a family of a hundred

    a baby dango cradled in happyness

    an old dango gazes with sqwinty eyes

    the dango freinds will all hold hands and form a circle

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

    the rabbits are waving their hands from the big moon

    roll up all the happy and sad things…

    • nope, the lyrics is right because this is the lyrics for the full song, the lyrics you just said is from the ed version not from the full version,

      the ed version dosent have the
      “Sukoshi yumemigachi na tsukimi-dango
      Osumashi goma-dango yotsugo kushi dango”
      part so thats why its different

  9. That’s from a fansub, isn’t it? It’s not official, so their translation is no more ‘right’ than mine.

  10. The full version came out today. Can you do a translation for it?

  11. yea this song is from Chiisana Te no Hira, but only the chorus part. Nonetheless, this song totally rocks!

  12. Thanks for the translation… but isn’t there six “dango”es in the coda/chorus/whatever line? Even if the official lyrics doesn’t say it, it definitely sounds like it.

  14. thank you for the lyrics and the trans :3 it’s a really cute song~
    btw, the first line of the song should have 6 dango-s instead of 5… =w=;;

  15. hi~

    i really like this song. It’s very touching and cute.

    I used your English translation of the song “Dango Daikazoku” and I posted it in my profile. Of course, citing you as the reference.

    Just send me a message if you disapprove. Thank you!

    *How does Dango taste like? I haven’t eaten one yet I just found the song appealing and touching when I have heard it. 😀

  16. Dangos are soft and chewy. It tastes like sweet dough… Depending on the filling and outer covering, you may or may not like it. I personally prefer sesame dangos and I don’t like red bean dangos.

  17. Yay!!!! Thanks for translading Dango Daikazoku _< I love both versions T.T… Lia´s voice is so peaceful and great ^o^

  18. Dango dango dango dango dango !dango! daikazoku
    Dango dango dango dango dango daikazoku

  19. thanks for the lyrics..Xd…but j a comment…i noticed that the first one of the dango pared lnes are suppose to have six dangos a then daikazoku…so its
    dango dango dango dango dango dango daikazoku
    dango dango dango dango dango daikazoku…

    wahhhhh.aka-cha dango!!….kaai…arigatou

  20. yay! thanks for the lyrics!! this song is so cute! ❤ ^.^

  21. this song is so sweet
    it makes me smile every time i listen to it

  22. To everyone complaining about the number of “dango”s, Atashi doesn’t care. Please see #2 of https://atashi.wordpress.com/about/

    …Any case ^^;; , thanks for typing up a translation of this. Very cute song.

  23. Small comments on your translation about the rabbit: They are referring to the widely popular Asian Folktale about the rabbit on the moon (wiki Jade Rabbit) who pounds the elixir of life, so in my opinion (aka, it isn’t important at all) the translation should be more ‘The Rabbit on the moon is waving in the sky’.

  24. I louv tis song! I always get really spacy after. Veeery claming . . . 😀

  25. The sweetest song ever!

  26. Dango dango dango dango dango daikazuko!!! Love it!!!

  29. The cutest music & lyrics ever ❤

    Totemo kawaii detsu!

  30. Wow I speak English and I totally thought that when I first heard this song that it was all serious and sad and sober and now I know it’s just about a dango. Heh.

    Oh well, it’s still as cute as Hinoi Team chibis 🙂

  31. thanks for translating it! you’re doing us such a great service!

  32. Very very sweet song..Congrulations…

  34. dango dango!!
    what a nice song…
    the mischievous one and the sweet one!!
    how kawaii…!

  35. I bet you wouldn’t think it’s that touching after seeing the Clannad anime 😛

    I heard it once before I watched Clannad, and then after. The difference was really huge

  36. Ah sorry, I was supposed to say BEFORE seeing it. Oh well I hope you get what I meant

    • I completely get you…so sweet and sad…the first time I ever watched it, with the ending animation, for some reason I felt like crying.

      Even though it’s not really a sad song…their still something sad about it…

  37. I cry everytime I hear this in Clannad! T___T
    I LOVE CLANNAD! <33

  38. I love this song very much. It could make me cry…

    Konnichiwa! Awh I love & adore this song, it makes me smile all the time. I love the touch of a sweetness, sadness, & innocence to it but that’s what makes it so kawaii & perfect<3 Thanks for the lyrics, it's fun singing along or playing along with the violin. Π.Π Arigato!

  52. Clannad 4ever love this song so much!!!!(^_^)

  53. There’s another ‘dango’ in the very first line in the full version of the song. I know the official lyrics sheet may not say that, it’s how it goes… just to let you know. 🙂

  54. this song seems to b my lullaby…

  55. Honto ni kawaii >__<

    uhm.. I sing it..

  56. The life, The love, The sweetness, the sadness, the miracle, and struggle for anything that important…
    Clannad is the best one i ever seen until now.
    No matter how many time i see it, it always make me almost cry.

    That’s right that song is looks like wouldn’t touching after before i see the Clannad anime.

    But…
    after see it, i almost can’t sing that song again with good.
    “The difference was really huge”…thats really really right.

  57. I found this song to be cute and sad when I first heard it in Clannad. As episodes went on, I couldn’t feel the cuteness of the dango but always thought of Nagisa-san and I get really teary eyed. Took me 2 nights to watch Clannad and Clannad After Story. I’m glad I have been able to watch and witness this beautiful (but so sad) series. Thank you, Maeda-san for writing such emotional music and stories.

  58. I already knew the larics so haha! AND I KNEW HOW TO SAY THEM! DOUBLE HAHA! PLUS I AM AWESOME! TRIPLE HAHA!

  59. Thanks alot! ( i know the song word for word already, but thanks!)

  60. Nagisa Furukawa

    U-uhm.. The big dumpling family, is so cute, adorable, sweet, lovely family.. I love them dango!

  61. i love this song ^_^

  63. the person whos singing this is nagisa furukawa(from clannad)?

  64. “minna minna awasete hyakunin daikazoku”

    if you look at the lyrics it actually does say “kazoku” and not “daikozoku”

  65. love the song 🙂

  66. Siti Rohanah Cntik

    i love this very much ^_^

  67. I reley reley love this song 🙂

  68. yum yum dango!

  69. i love this song so much 😀 i sing it all the time and the dango family is adorable

  70. Konichiwa!
    This song is so beautiful,it’s lovely,soft n pure. There’s less songs like that in the world. I heard it when I watched Clannad for the first time. My friend told me about it n so I watched…n it touched my heart…

    My friend had the song on her MP3,n everyday I would beg her to let me take it home so I could listen to it before I fell asleep. I didn’t know the lyrics to the song right,but I didn’t care,I just sang it to my heart’s content! I even sang it around school! People who didn’t know Japanese (English school in America) looked at me with a face that said: what the heck is she singing?! XD

    I thought it was such a happy jolly song,but I felt some sadness in it too,but I didnt understand why. As I kept on watching,I finally saw the deep sadness of it,which broke my heart. Until I finished Clannad (a huge waterfall of tears) I kept feeling the sadness more n more.

    Now everytime I hear it or think about it,I sing it,n it makes me happy,but at the same time a deep sadness tights in my chest as I think of the girl who this song calls upon in my mind. N if I concentrate on it,stay still n just listen,my eyes start to fill with tears 😥

    I think I understand why it makes such an impact on all of us after seeing the Anime. The song (theory) is made to do that. Meeting Nagisa,seeing her,hearing her,learning about her story n watching what she goes through makes even the coldest heart shed tears. Then the theme of the song,that represents Nagisa’s favorite thing in the world,is mixed with the happy,gentle feeling of the dango and the sad,nostalgic feeling of knowing who’s this song dedicated to. When you listen to it after watching Clannad,all those feelings n images of Nagisa collies n that’s why the tears fall n sadness come.

    Sorry this is so long,not what I intended XD Love Clannad n the Dango! I want to try some n have lots of plushies of them!!! >///< ❤ Great job on the lyrics,I've been looking for them for a long time n here they are! Keep up the good work 😀

    Sumimasen(apologizes) for the long post v.v

  71. Makes me wanna cry every time.

  72. well… ugh… just got done watchin/listin to it on youtube and sang both english and japanese of it to my nine-year-old little sister and she fell right asleep. i love it sooo much i want to just scream out ai shiteru dango i do. lolzXD but i really wanna. i have yet whatched it in clannad(just heard bout it:( ) im pittiful am i not well im going to go to sleep thinking/ singing it to myself 🙂 dango dango dango dango dango dikazoku i suck at spelling SOMETIMES

  73. some one needs to make a super cute teddy bear, pink bunny and record this song so then you squeeze the stuffed animal it plays it , no one copy me cuz im gong to make one for my brother kids when im old and decrepit
    yes my brothers kids cuz id be a terrible mom XD jk you can copy me its a cute idea right???

  75. I have experienced heart breaks in my life, but whenever i listen to this song, it puts my separate hearts back together.

  76. Do you mind if I use your translation for my choral class? We have to learn a song, and I really like this one…but I don’t know if I can credit you in front of my class…but I would tell my teacher where I got the lyrics from…

  77. Kawaiiiiii….^Q^ i love the big dango family…..:D
    Keep up dangos!! Dango Dango Dango Dango Daikazoku…..:3

  78. Yes we all love Nagisa but… What about Ushio and Tomoya… I love all of them 🙂 dango dango dango dikazuku dango dango dango dango dikazuku!!!!!!
