Hato Popo

Lyrics - Transliteration

(Japanese folk song)

1. Pop pop po
Hato poppo
Mamega hoshiika
Sora yaruzo
Minnnade nakayoku
Tabenikoi

2. Pop pop po
Hato poppo
Mameha umaika
Tabetanara
Ichidoni sorotte
Tonndeyuke

Coo, coo, coo
Pigeon coo, coo
If you like beans
Come down
Let’s eat all together

Coo, Coo Coo
Pigeon coo, coo
If the beans are delicious
Eat one and fly away

ぽっ　ぽっ　ぽ
はと　ぽっぽ
まめが　ほしいか
そら　やるぞ
みんなで　なかよく
たべにこい

ぽっ　ぽっ　ぽ
はと　ぽっぽ
まめは　うまいか
たべたなら
いちどに　そろって
とんでゆけ
