Lyrics - Rōmaji
(Japanese folk song)
Saita, saita
Chūrippu no hana ga
Naranda, naranda
Aka shiro kīro
Dono hana mite mo
Kireida na
English Translation - Tulips
Bloomed, bloomed,
Tulip flowers,
Lining up, lining up,
Red, white, yellow
Every flower looks beautiful!

Japanese - チューリップ
さいた さいた
チューリップのはなが
ならんだ ならんだ
あか しろ きいろ
どの花みても
きれいだな

I would translate “saita” as “blooming” or “have bloomed”
The tulips have bloomed
red, white, yellow
All in a row
Each you behold is beautiful.
or for rhyming in English and keeping the spirit:
Blooming tulips
row after row
of red, white, and yellow
Each beautiful, though.
Thank you!
