Dancing: For Celebrations
Rain like tears down
Winds blow: waves high
Let them be; let them be
We dancing see
涙雨
大風津波
吹けよ 吹け
負けず踊るは
われらがダンス
A spring has come
A winter has gone
When we dance together
Gods tumble in thunder
春来る
冬は去りゆき
われ嬉し
われら踊りに
天は轟く
Years go rounding
Months in rotation
When we dance in a ring
The season is laughing
歳月巡り
月日は廻る
今日の日われら
輪になり踊れば
季節は笑う
Cherry blossoms bloom out
They do in full
All over for us smiling
Let’s dance for a ring
さくら咲け
満開に咲け
そこらじゅう
花々嗤い
いざ和のダンス
Take sake wine
Eat our festive foods
Banzai Banzai: we are alive
The season to revive
それ酒よ
花より団子よ
万歳 万歳
われら生きたる
春甦る
Here gods’ wine set
There their foods offered
Flowers in our hands and
Let’s dance for our ronde
御神酒据え
供物供えて
いざ祭り
花々を手に
輪になり踊ろう
See gods smile
Happy they laugh
Now they got drunken
No mischief forgiven
見よ神々
微笑み笑い
ほろ酔いの
今福の神
悪戯（いたずら）せぬ神
We dance in a ring
We dance in harmony
Happiness upon us fall
A shower of laughter roll
丸い輪に
みんな一緒に
いざ踊る
福の神来る
大笑いする
Put away all barriers
Put aside all locks
Let’s together we dance
Jump with Love and Peace
壁壊せ
すべての垣根
取り除け
愛と平和に
ジャンプせよ
Jack and Jill come
Taro and Hanako do
All come join us together
No more tears fall dear
みな来たれ
ジャックもジルも
太郎も花子
共に踊らん
涙よ失せよ
