Tanko Bushi

The moon has risen, the moon has risen, it's good, good
It rose over the mountain behind our house
It's so high that it's hard to see (hey ho)
Hey, Mr. Moon, you're all smoky, good, good

One mountain, two mountains, three mountains, good, good
The land is divided by the Yaetsu River
What a colorful, blooming field (hey ho)
Samachan, you're a good girl, with your flower crown, good, good

The mole's eyes are not good, good
The mountain man is a strange one
He's waiting for the four seasons to change
That cute girl is pulling his sleeve, good, good

If you're going to leave me, it's good, good
I'll accept it and say goodbye
To the daughter of the original village head (hey ho)
If you come back, I'll say goodbye, good, good

If you're going to work in the front mountains, it's good, good
I'll take the lead and set the pace
I'll make you work hard and make you do it
Singing and dancing, let's have fun, good, good
