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?...
