Lyrics – Transliteration
Ame ame fure fure kaasan ga
Janome de o-mukai ureshii na
Pitchi pitchi chappu chappu ran ran ran
Translation – Rain Rain
Rain, rain, fall fall – mom
Will meet me with an umbrella, it will be fun
These 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
ピッチピッチ チャップチャップ
ランランラン
English Singable Version
Raining, raining, how it’s raining
Rain a little more
Mother’s bringing my umbrella
It can rain and pour
Pitter, patter, pitter, patter
Drip, drop, drop
