Lyrics - Rōmaji
(Folk song from Japan)
medaka no gakkō wa kawa no naka
sotto nozoite mite goran
sotto nozoite mite goran
minna de o yūgi shiteiruyo
medaka no gakkō no medakatachi
dare ga seito ka sensei ka
dare ga seito ka sensei ka
minna de genki ni asonderu
medaka no gakkō wa ureshi sō
mizu ni nagarete tsu itsui
mizu ni nagarete tsu itsui
mizu ni nagarete tsu itsui
English Translation - The medaka school
The medaka* school is in the river
Peek in and see
Peek in and see
Everyone is dancing
The medakas at the medaka school
Who is the student or the teacher?
Who is the student or the teacher?
Everyone is playing happily
The medaka school looks happy
Flowing in the water, swaying
Flowing in the water, swaying
Flowing in the water, swaying
*medaka = small freshwater fish from Japan
Japanese めだかの学校は
めだかの学校は 川のなか
そっとのぞいて みてごらん
そっとのぞいて みてごらん
みんなで おゆうぎ しているよ
めだかの学校の めだかたち
だれが生徒か 先生か
だれが生徒か 先生か
みんなで げんきに あそんでる
めだかの学校は うれしそう
水にながれて つーいつい
水にながれて つーいつい
水にながれて つーいつい
