Lyrics - Rōmaji
(Japanese folk song)
Ame ame fure fure kaasan ga
Janome de o-mukai ureshii na
Pitchi pitchi chappu chappu ran ran ran
English Translation – Rain Rain
Rain, rain, fall fall, Mom
will meet me with an umbrella, it will be fun
Syllables imitate the sounds of rain.

Japanese – あめふり
あめあめ ふれふれ かあさんが
じゃのめで おむかえ うれしいな
