ENGLISH
The Elephant Who Wore Boots
An elephant who was born in Africa
Came to our town
His eyes were so little
Next to his big ears
One morning he opened his eyes to see that winter had begun (Oh!)
A winter of cold, wintry winds
Snow had fallen that morning
It was his first time seeing snow in his entire life (this is snow)
Mr. Elephant was pleasantly surprised
Skiing, snowball fights, sledding
Mr. Elephant played like he was in a dream
But then, ouch, ouch
His skin got all chapped and cracked
Mr. Elephant cried and cried
Our town's kind shoemaker
Made him some boots (I messed up. Hm!?)
Made him some boots and gave them to him
With red straps
The brand new boots looked very nice on Mr. Elephant
And so our town's Mr. Elephant became known as
The elephant, the elephant who wore boots
The elephant, the elephant who wore boots

JAPANESE
ブーツを履いたゾウさん
アフリカ生まれのゾウさんが
僕らの街へやってきた
大きな耳に
小っちゃな眼
ある朝目覚めて冬が来て・・あっ！！
木枯らし吹いて冬が来て
ある朝雪が降りました
生まれて初めて雪をみて（これだ）
ビックリごきげんゾウさんゾウさん
スキー雪投げソリ遊び
夢中で遊ぶゾウさんに
痛い痛いアカギレ
切れちゃった
ポロポロ泣いてるゾウさんに
優しい街の靴屋さん
ブーツを作って（間違えた。ん!?）
ブーツを作ってあげました
赤いかわひもの付いている
ピカピカブーツよく似合う
僕らの街のゾウさんは
ブーツを履いたゾウさんゾウさん
ブーツを履いたゾウさんゾウさん

OPINION
According to this blog, {http://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q146979299} this song was originally sung on a program called みんなのうた（Songs for Everyone) and covered by Fujiwara on the radio program "School of Lock!" So it's not by BUMP, but it's still awesome. It's like a children's folk song. I get the feeling BUMP's members love kids, and they already have many of their own animal story-songs in their albums. I got the lyrics (including Fujiwara's extra comments in parentheses) from {http://allein165.blog47.fc2.com/blog-entry-102.html}. You can listen to the BUMP version at the link below!
