Mono no awarẽ Murasaki iro no hana Haru no hana To fuyu mo koyuki Harahara (The poignancy of things A purple flower The blossoms of spring And the light snow of winter How they fall) Shizẽn no bi kana Ah! Midori no ha to Aki no iro
(The beauty of nature A green leaf and Autumn colours) Kaze no koe Tori no saezuri Kanashii umi Yorokobino umi Yama Koishi Ayamegusa (The voice of the wind The song of birds A sad sea A joyful sea Mountains Pebbles A wild iris)
