Tapping of Shoes

Katsura Shimizu

★

When we trip the wild path hand in hand,
All into sweet little birds change.
And when we sing a song,
The tapping of the shoes
Under the clear sky,
The tapping of the shoes.

When we put the gathered flowers in our hair,
All into sweet little rabbits change.
And when we flip and dance,
The tapping of the shoes
Under the clear sky,
The tapping of the shoes.
