あかねに染まる　田のほとり

すすきが揺れる　秋の風

ちいさな影は　列にならんで

あぜ道をゆっくり歩く

ひぐらしの声　遠くひびき

夕やけ空が　赤く燃える

はだしの足で　泥をはねあげ

わらい声が　空にのぼる

かごめかごめで　手をとれば

竹とんぼは　空へ舞い

けん玉まわり　お手玉はずむ

村の広場に　遊びひろがる

ひとつまたひとつ　星が出て

いちばん星を　みんなで探す

指さす空に　光がひとつ

「見つけたよ」と声がひびく

あかとんぼ飛ぶ　夕やけ空

里の灯りが　やさしくともる

「また、あした」と声を合わせ

帰り道には　影がのびて

----- English Lyrics -----

The rice fields glow in sunset red

Tall pampas grass sways in the autumn breeze

Little shadows walk in a line

Slowly along the country path

Cicadas chirp, their voices far away

The evening sky burns a warm orange

Bare feet splash through the soft mud

Laughter rises and drifts into the sky

Holding hands to play "Kagome, Kagome"

Bamboo spinning tops soar into the air

Kendama spins, beanbags bounce

Fun spreads across the village square

One by one, the stars appear

We search together for the first star

Pointing up, a single light shines

“I found it!” our voices ring out

Red dragonflies fly across the sunset sky

Village lights glow softly in the distance

“Meet again tomorrow,” we say together

On the way home, our shadows stretch long
