Songs for Children Sung in Japan/Let's Play
Let’s Play
Hakushū Kitahara
★
“Come! Let’s play! Let’s play!”
Look! They are coming; they are calling.
Children’s voices I hear.
“Come! Let’s play! Let’s play!”
’Tis a bright, bright sunny day and at noon—
From somewhere, someone already comes calling.
The garden, the chrysanthemums in the garden;
A somewhat bright and cheery day;
A somewhat quiet and dreary day.
“Come! Let’s play! Let’s play!”
Always someone comes to call;
Always from the backyard calls.
