Sakura ("Cherry Blossoms") is a traditional Japanese
song often played in early spring when the cherry trees are blooming.
Lyrics:
| 1. |
Sakura, sakura
noyamamo satomo
Miwatasu kagiri
Kasumi-ka kumo-ka
asahi-ni niou
Sakura, sakura hanazakari
|
Cherry Blossoms, cherry blossoms.
On mountains, in villages.
As far as you can see.
They look like fog or clouds.
They are fragrant in the morning sun.
Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms. In full bloom.
|
| 2. |
Sakura, Sakura
Yayoi no sora wa.
Miwatasu kagiri
Kasumi ka? Kumo ka?
Nioi zo izuru;
Iza ya! Iza ya!
Mi ni yukan.
|
Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms
under the April sky
as far as you can see,
like mists or clouds
blooming fragrantly.
Let us go! Let us go!
Let us go to see them.
