Songs for Children Sung in Japan/Red, Red Shoes
Red, Red Shoes
Ujō Noguchi
★
A little girl in red, red shoes,
With the Westerner
She went.
From the port of Yokohama,
On a boat she sailed
With the Westerner.
Now she’s a blue-eyed girl,
Living in a strange land,
I think.
Whenever I see red shoes, I recall—
Whenever I see foreigners, I recall
That little girl.
