Hola, Konnichiwa

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I said hola, ¿cómo estás? You waved from the little café I said konnichiwa You smiled and showed me the way [Pre-Chorus] Different words, same open door A laugh we both can understand One small hello, then one more And suddenly we’re making plans [Chorus] Hola, konnichiwa Come a little closer, say it back Hola, konnichiwa Every greeting finds a way to connect From one side of the world to another We can meet in the middle somehow Hola, konnichiwa Say hello right now [Verse 2] You taught me arigatō I tried it twice and got it right I taught you buenos días We traded words across the night [Pre-Chorus] Different words, same open door A laugh we both can understand One small hello, then one more And suddenly we’re making plans [Chorus] Hola, konnichiwa Come a little closer, say it back Hola, konnichiwa Every greeting finds a way to connect From one side of the world to another We can meet in the middle somehow Hola, konnichiwa Say hello right now [Bridge] No perfect accent, no perfect phrase Just a little courage and a friendly face You say your word, I’ll say mine We’ll get the meaning every time [Final Chorus] Hola, konnichiwa Come a little closer, say it back Hola, konnichiwa Every greeting finds a way to connect From one side of the world to another We can meet in the middle somehow Hola, konnichiwa Say hello right now [Outro] Hola, konnichiwa Hello, hello
