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
