==Lyrics==
Japanese Kanji 	Japanese Rōmaji 	English Translation
ある日　熊野古道で バーソロミュー・くまに出会ったら
本物かどうか確かめた方がいい
本物なら　こう聞くだろう
｢旅行するなら　どこに行きたい?｣	Aru hi Kumano Kodō de Bāsoromyū Kuma ni deattara
Honmono ka dō ka tashikameta hō gaī
Honmononara kō kikudarō
"Ryokō surunara doko ni ikitai?"	One day, if you meet Bartholomew Kuma on the Kumano Kodo,
You should check if he is real.
If he is genuine, you will ask
"If you were to go on a trip, where would you like to go?"
伊勢神宮に飛ばされたのなら
鳥居前で一礼　手水舎(ちょうずや)で手を清め
参拝は二拝二拍手一拝
日頃のご加護に感謝を伝え
私欲祈願はやめておけ
鳥居を出た後　振り返っての一礼
私語はなるべく自粛しろ	Ise Jingū ni tobasareta nonara
Torīmae de Ichirei Chōzusha de te o kiyome
Sanpai wa ni hai ni hakushu ittai
Higoro no go kago ni kansha o tsutae
Shiyoku kigan wa yameteoke
Torī o deta nochi furikaette no ichirei
Shigo wa narubeku jishuku shiro	If you were sent to Ise Jingu
Clean your hands at the Ichirei Chozuya in front of the torii
Worship two worships, two clappings, one worship
Thank you for your daily support
Stop praying for selfishness
After leaving the torii, look back and give thanks
Please refrain from speaking as much as possible
おれの言うことを信じろ　約束は守る 	Ore no iu koto o shinjiro yakusoku wa mamoru 	Believe in what I say, keep your promise
ある日　熊野古道で
バーソロミュー・くまに出会ったら
本物かどうか確かめた方がいい
本物なら　こう聞くだろう
｢旅行するなら　どこに行きたい?｣	Aru hi Kumano Kodō de Bāsoromyū Kuma ni deattara
Honmono ka dō ka tashikameta hō gaī
Honmononara kō kikudarō
"Ryokō surunara doko ni ikitai?"	One day, if you meet Bartholomew Kuma on the Kumano Kodo,
You should check if he is real.
If he is genuine, you will hear this.
"If you were to go on a trip, where would you like to go?"
伊賀に飛ばされたのなら
忍者衣装に着替え　忍者屋敷を訪れよ
手裏剣　水蜘蛛　カラクリ
修行は　腹が減るものだ
鳥羽なら　海女が美しい
真珠とともに　輝きその目に焼きつけろ
健気な白き姿を	Iga ni tobasareta nonara
Ninja ishō ni kigae ninja yashiki o otozureyo
Shurikensui kumo karakuri
Shūgyō wa hara ga heru monoda
Tobanara ama ga utsukushī
Shinju totomoni kagayaki sono me ni yakitsukero
Kenagena shiroki sugata o	If you were blown away by Iga
Change into a ninja costume and visit the ninja mansion
It's going to decrease
If it's a torii, the sea maiden is beautiful
Shine with the pearls and burn it into your eyes
おれの言うことを信じろ　約束は守る 	Ore no iu koto o shinjiro yakusoku wa mamoru 	Believe in what I say, keep your promise
ある日　熊野古道で
バーソロミュー・くまに出会ったら
本物かどうか　確かめた方がいい
本物なら　こう聞くだろう
｢旅行するなら　どこに行きたい?｣	Aru hi Kumano Kodō de Bāsoromyū Kuma ni deattara
Honmono ka dō ka tashikameta hō gaī
Honmononara kō kikudarō
"Ryokō surunara doko ni ikitai?"	One day, if you meet Bartholomew Kuma on the Kumano Kodo,
You should check if he is real.
If he is genuine, you will hear this.
"If you were to go on a trip, where would you like to go?"
あの海に戻りたいなら
自力で戻れ
もう二度と会うことはない 	Ano umi ni modoritainara
Jiriki de modore
Mō nidoto au koto hanai	If you want to go back to that sea
Go back on your own
I'll never see you again
だが　おれの言うことを信じろ　約束は守る 	Daga ore no iu koto o shinjiro yakusoku wa mamoru	But what I say, believe in the promise

*The song's name is a pun on the Kumano Kodō, a series of ancient pilgrimage trails in Japan. As it is written, however, it emphasizes Kuma's name and translates to "Kuma's Old Road".
