A Japanese Children’s Song – 童謡 [Tanabata]

Posted on July 7, 2024 by mkchatinjapanese

Today’s children’s song is called [Tanabata sama]

7th of July is Tanabata in Japan. The Japanese write their wishes on a colorful piece of paper and attach it to a bamboo tree. While decorating a bamboo tree they sing this song!

Ok now let’s listen the song with few friends because after you then your friend will follow singing.

Translation

Japanese	English
1.Sasa no ha sarasara Nokiba ni yureru ohoshi sama kira kira kin, gin sunago 2, goshiki no tanzaku watashi ga kaita ohoshi sama kira kira sora kara miteru	１．The bamboo leaves swing at eaves The stars twinkle Gold, silver、sand ２．The Five-colored strips of paper I wrote The stars twinkle Watching from the sky. .

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
