Lyrics:

Sakura sakura
Yayoi no sora wa
Miwatasu kagiri
Kasumi ka kumo ka
Nioi zo izuru
Izaya izaya
Mi ni yu kan Saita sakura
Mina mi te modoro
Yoshino wa sakura
Tatsuta wa momiji
Karasaki no matsu
Tokiwa tokiwa
Iza yukan		 English lyrics:

Sakura, sakura,
Tender blossom born of spring
Sired by winter's gentle snow
Once again you bless my eyes
Would love thus return to me
Sakura, sakura, Would love thus return to me
