Spring Has Come

Japanese

一、                                               

春が来た　春が来た　どこに来た
山に来た　里に来た　野にも来た


二、                                               

花が咲く　花が咲く　どこに咲く
山に咲く　里に咲く　野にも咲く


三、                                               

鳥が鳴く　鳥が鳴く　どこで鳴く
山で鳴く　里で鳴く　野でも鳴く




1.                                                        

Haru ga kita haru ga kita doko ni kita
Yama ni kita sato ni kita no nimo kita

2.                                                        

Hana ga saku hana ga saku doko ni saku
Yama ni saku sato ni saku no nimo saku

3.                                                        

Tori ga naku tori ga naku doko de naku
Yama de naku sato de naku no demo naku

Spring has come now
Spring has come now
Where has she come?

To the mountains   
To the villages    
Also to the field  


2.                                

Flowers come out   
Flowers come out   
Where do they?     

In the mountains   
In the villages    
Also in the field  


3.                                

Birds are singing  
Birds are singing  
Where are they?    

On the mountains   
On the villages    
Also on the field  

Takano Tatsuyuki (1876-1947) Born in Nagano Prefecture, Japan.
