さくらうた by Mamiko Noto



さくらの花は いつ開く?
山のお里に いつ開く?
when will the cherry blossom flowers unfold? 
when will they unfold in the mountain village? 

さくらの花は いつ匂う?
笑う七の子 遊ぶ頃 
when will the cherry blossom flowers be fragrant? 
when the laughing child of seven plays

さくらの花は いつ踊る?
歌う七の子 眠る頃 
when will the cherry blossom flowers dance? 
when the singing child of seven sleeps

さくらの花は いつ朽ちる?
死んだ七の子 昇る頃 
when will the cherry blossom flowers decay? 
when the dead child of seven rises
