"Wait, let me try one more time..."

一、二、三、go!

I tried to say ありがとう, but it came out wrong,

"Ar-ree-gay-toe," oh no, not the right song.

Tried to greet with a cheerful こんにちは,

But stumbled through it like "KNEE-chee-wah," huh?

Oops, I slipped, and my tongue’s in a twist,

Turning 日本語 to a language of myths.

From 桜 to カラオケ, what did I say?

"SACK-er-rah, CARRY-okie," I butchered away!

I tried to say 可愛い, but said 怖い instead,

The chef gave a smile, but I blushed bright red.

Tried to say すみません to apologize,

It came out "Summy-mah-ZEN," oh, what a surprise!

Every 漢字 looks like a mountain to climb,

Every ひらがな feels like a crime.

But I’ll keep on trying, won’t let it go,

Even if my カタカナ steals the show.

Oops, I slipped, and my tongue’s in a twist,

Turning 日本語 to a language of myths.

From ラーメン to 着物, what did I say?

"RAY-mun, kuh-MOE-no," I lost my way!

So I’ll keep on laughing, embracing the sound,

Learning each mistake as I stumble around.

For every "oof" and "oops," I’ll just carry on,

Turning mispronunciations into my song!

"Was that better?"
