The English Translated Lyrics to Fairy Tail’s first opening theme song is “Snow Fairy” by Funkist

Fairy, where are you going?
I’m holding, all the light on to your way; this light will shine upon a brand new day!

(Oh yeah!) Now can you hear the voice that’s calling out to you?
(Oh yeah!) Though I know its shouts have caused its overuse.
(Oh yeah!) But will it stay until your heart can hear it through?
(Oh yeah!) OH YEAH!

The sun and moon have joined in celebration;
Have you forgotten our affiliation?
When you’re not here to share your laughter with me,
I just can’t find my inspiration, but now it’s:

Snowing, keep going; be honest and smile as we’re,
Approaching, evoking, the clock to keep repeating over, but,
Fairy, where are you going?
I’m holding, all the light on to your way; this light will shine upon a brand new day!
{(Why?!) x3}

“Don’t say goodbye!”

Lyrics pulled from Fairy Tail Wiki

I recommend giving Fairy Tail a chance if you haven’t watched it yet. It is a lot of fun, full of over the top antics and laughs. While the characters and colour pallet are not overly serious, the series does have serious themes and undercurrents.
