歌詞

春のうららの隅田川のぼりくだりの船人が

櫂のしずくも

花と散る

ながめを何に

たとふべき

見ずやあけぼの

露浴びて

われにもの言ふ桜木を

見ずや夕ぐれ 手をのべて

われさしまねく

青柳を

錦おりなす長堤に

くるればのぼるおぼろ月

げに一刻も千金の

ながめを何に たとふべ

垣生の宿もわが宿

玉の装いうらやまじ

のどかなりや春の空

花はあるじ

鳥は友

おおわが宿よ

たのしとも

たのもしや

書読む窓もわが窓

るりの床もうらやまじ

きよらなりや秋の夜半

月はあるじ 虫は友

おおわが窓よ

たのしともたのもしや

On the gentle springtime Sumida River

Boats glide up and down

And from the oars, falling drops

Scatter like blossoms in bloom

To what could this view

Ever be compared?

See the dawn—

Bathed in dewy light

The cherry trees seem to speak to me

See the evening glow—

Reaching out their hands

The green willows beckon softly

Along the long embankment

Woven like brocade

The hazy moon rises as night arrives

Truly, each fleeting moment

Is worth a thousand pieces of gold—

To what could this view

Ever be compared?

My humble fence-bound dwelling is my home

I envy no jeweled adornments

How peaceful is the spring sky—

Flowers are my hosts

Birds are my friends

Oh, my dear home

How joyful it is

How reassuring

The window where I read is my own

I envy no lapis-lazuli floors

How pure is the autumn night—

The moon is my host

Insects are my friends

Oh, my dear window

How joyful it is

How reassuring
