This version is presented in the album "Minimax Rajzfilmslágerek", and is longer than the main arrangement of the song. It also features different lyrics than the original version.

This is the only time the song was, in a way, dubbed into Hungarian. The dub itself left the song undubbed from the English version in both of its seasons.

Tárd ki szívedet, hogy lásd a színeket. A szív a szemnél tisztábban lát, sose felejts!

Se jó, se rossz ma nincs, ránk is úgy tekints. Az együtt átélt másodperc mind gyönyörű kincs.

Az ég most neked kék. A fű csak neked nő. Az elsuhanó most a fontos, nem a jövő.

Ha félsz, hogy messze mész, s megáll a józan ész. Az ösztönöd, mi kézen fog majd, s itt haza érsz.

Ha véget ér e dal, vidd magadal. Bármikor, ha eldúdolod, ott leszünk majd.

Az ég most neked kék. A fű csak neked nő. Az elsuhanó most a fontos, nem a jövő.

Ha félsz, hogy messze mész, s megáll a józan ész. Az ösztönöd, mi kézen fog majd, s itt haza érsz.
