<poem>
さくらの花は いつ開く 山のお里に いつ開く

さくらの花は いつ匂う 笑う七の子 遊ぶ頃

さくらの花は いつ踊る 歌う七の子 眠る頃

さくらの花は いつ朽ちる

死んだ七の子 昇る頃

<poem>
Sakura no hana wa itsu hiraku Yama no o sato ni itsu hiraku

Sakura no hana wa itsu niou Warau nana no ko asobu koro

Sakura no hana wa itsu odoru Utau nana no ko nemuru koro

Sakura no hana wa itsu kuchiru

Shinda nana no ko noboru koro

<poem>
When will the cherry blossoms flower? When will they flower in the mountain village?

When will the cherry blossoms grow fragrant? When the laughing child of seven plays

When will the cherry blossoms dance about? When the singing child of seven goes to sleep

When will the cherry blossoms wilt away?

When the dead child of seven ascends

<poem>
Why do lovely flowers bloom from the cherry tree? Children of seven waking smile at the sun

Why do fragrant blossoms stir in the mountain air? Children of seven laughing run through the woods

Why do crimson branches dance for the village streets? Children of seven singing call down the wind

Why do wilting flowers fall from the cherry tree? Children of seven dying to wake once more
