Lyrics and translation Saori Yuki & Sachiko Yasuda - Ureshii Hinamatsuri

Ureshii Hinamatsuri

あかりをつけましょ ぼんぼりに
おはなをあげましょ もものはな
ごにんばやしの ふえたいこ

きょうはたのしい ひなまつり

おだいりさまと おひなさま
ふたりならんで すましがお
およめにいらした ねえさまに
よくにたかんじょの しろいかお

きんのびょうぶに うつるひを
かすかにゆする はるのかぜ
すこししろざけ めされたか
あかいおかおの うだいじん

きものをきかえて おびしめて
きょうはわたしも はれすがた
はるのやよいの このよきひ
なによりうれしい ひなまつり

Ureshii Hinamatsuri

Let's light the lanterns with light
Let's offer peach blossoms
The five-piece band's flutes and drums

Today is a joyous Hinamatsuri

The Emperor and Empress
Sitting side by side with composed faces
The elder sister, who has become a bride
Her white face is very similar to mine

The golden screen reflects the light
The spring breeze gently sways
Have you had some sake?
The Minister with a red face

I put on my kimono and tied my obi
Today, I'm also dressed in my finest
On this beautiful day in the third month of spring
Hinamatsuri is the most delightful day
