Songs for Children Sung in Japan/Evening Bell
Evening Bell
Kazumasa Yoshimaru
★
Look, the sun is sinking!
Hark, the bell is pealing!
How tranquil is its sound!
My heart is quiet,
My heart is quiet.
Come gently, my colt, I’m pulling.
To-day is over,
I’m through for the day,
And nothing is left to think about.
Merrily the night is coming,
Merrily the night is coming.
Quietly hurry, my colt, I’m pulling.
