Lyrics - Rōmaji
(Japanese folk song)
Saita saita
Chūrippu no hana ga
Naranda naranda
Aka shiro kīro
Dono wa na mite mo
Kireida na

Blooming, blooming
tulip flower
lining up
red white yellow
No matter what flower
it’s 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
どのはな みても
きれいだな

2 thoughts on “Churippu”
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!
