"Sanpo"

* arukou  arukou  watashi wa genki
  aruku no  daisuki  don-don ikou
  
  Let's walk, let's walk, I feel fine.
  I love to walk, let's go quickly.

sakamichi  TONNERU  kusappara
ipponbashi ni  dekoboko jari-michi
kumo no su kugutte  kudari-michi
                        
An uphill road, a tunnel, a meadow,
At a log bridge, a bumpy gravel path.
Passing under a spiderweb, a downhill path.

* Repeat

mitsubachi ga  bun-bun  hana batake
hinata ni tokage  hebi wa hirune
batta ga tonde  magari-michi
                        
A honeybee buzzes in a field of flowers,
a lizard in the sunshine, a snake takes a midday nap,
a grasshopper leaps, along the curving path.

* Repeat

kitsune mo  tanuki mo  dete oide
tanken-shiyou  hayashi no oku made
tomodachi takusan  ureshii na
tomodachi takusan  ureshii na
                        
Foxes and badgers too, come out!
Let's go exploring deep into the woods.
I have lots of friends, I'm so happy.
I have lots of friends, I'm so happy.
