Today’s children’s song is called 海・うみ/Umi .
It is very simple lyrics which easily remember. Why don’t you learn and sing!
Umi (The Sea)
Before I tell you about the song, I just want to tell you that here UK we have a fantastic proper summer this year. As a result of that we have a shortage of water though. I visited the seaside called Whitstable last week. Although I was born in Nagano where is surrounding by mountains, I love sea, I prefer sea.
This big potion of Fish & Chips filled me up. Satisfatory!
Ok now let’s listen the song.
Translation
| Japanese | English |
| 1. Umi wa hiroi na okii na | The sea is wide and big |
| Tsu ki ga noboru shi hi ga shizumu | The moon rises and the sun sets |
| 2. Umi wa oonami aoi nami | The sea has big and blue wave |
| Urete doko made tsuzuku yara | Wonder where is the wave swaying and going |
| 3. Umi ni ofune o ukabasete | Float a boat on the sea |
| Itte mitai na yoso no kuni | want to go to foreign countries |
Now let’s sing!
Hope you will enjoy this song with your children and be able to learn some Japanese words! Please let me know if you enjoyed it or not!
THANK YOU Arigato
