Paroles et traduction 矢口真里・柴田あゆみ・前田有紀・藤本美貴 - 背くらべ

背くらべ

柱のきずは おととしの
五月五日の背くらべ
粽たべたべ 兄さんが

計ってくれた 背のたけ
きのうくらべりゃ 何のこと
やっと羽織の紐のたけ
柱に凭れりゃ すぐ見える
遠いお山も背くらべ
雲の上まで顔だして
てんでに背伸びしていても
雪の帽子を ぬいでさえ
一はやっぱり 富士の山
柱のきずは おととしの
五月五日の背くらべ
粽たべたべ 兄さんが

計ってくれた 背のたけ
きのうくらべりゃ 何のこと
やっと羽織の紐のたけ
柱に凭れりゃ すぐ見える
遠いお山も背くらべ
雲の上まで顔だして
てんでに背伸びしていても
雪の帽子を ぬいでさえ
一はやっぱり 富士の山

Size Comparison Game

The scratches on the pillar are from last year's
May 5th size comparison game
My brother ate rice dumplings

And measured our heights
Compared to yesterday, what's the big deal?
Now, I'm finally as tall as the string on my haori
Leaning against the pillar, I can see it clearly
The distant mountains are also playing the size comparison game
Peeking out from above the clouds
Each one stretching their backs as high as they can
Even if they take off their snow caps
The tallest is still Mount Fuji
