Ikue Asazaki - Obokuri-Eeumi
Arayashikiku no dei
In search of a new land
Harasaku baku no dei
Let's build a new house
Hare fushigyurasa nejyuku
By neatly gathering hay
Surajifushiro yondo
To thatch the roof
Hare fushigyurasa nejyuku
By neatly gathering hay
Fushigyurasa nejyuku
Neatly gathering hay
surajifusero yondo
To thatch the roof
Kirishigaki ku no dei
At the stone walls
Kuganeya be tatei tei
Let's celebrate the golden house
Hare momo tobyuru wakya
That was built
Ya uriba yuwa o yondo
By a hundred carpenters
Hare momo to byuru wakya
That was built
Momo tobyuru wakya
Was built
Ya uriba yuwa o yondo
By a hundred carpenters
Hateigachi ya naryuri
August draws near
Tobibani ya neranu
But I have nothing to wear
Hare utou katabani
I want to dress up
Ya karachitabore
Brothers, lend me a sleeve
Hitotsu aru bani ya
I want to dress the children and those I love
Kanasha se ni kusuitei
With the single kimono I own
Hare wanu ya okuyama
I will wear vines
Nu kazuradasuki
That I picked deep within the mountains
Ojyuugoya no teiki ya
The full moon shines
Kami gyurasa teryuri
Far and wide like the gods / Illuminating the world with its divine light
Hare kana ga jyo ni tataba kumo tei taborei
When my lover comes to visit, I wish the clouds would hide it a little
