Outsuebushi, Ooi Oyajidodo - Hey Hey Boss!

“Ooi Ooi Oya-jidono,
Sonokane, kochirae kashite okure!”
Oyajimewa bikkurigyootenshi,
“Ie ie kanedewa gozansenu,
Musumega shitekureta yooino nigirimama,
Dore dore osakie sannjimasho.”
“Yare yare shibutoi oyajime” to,
Nukihanashi,
Nanno kumonaku hitoeguri.
Okaneto inochino
On aiwakarenno futatsudama.

'Hey! Hey! Boss!
Give me that money!'
The astonished Boss then said,
'No, no, this is not money,
It’s a rice ball that my daughter made for me,
Well then, I am going ahead.'
'What a stubborn man!'
Drawing a sward,
Scooped out with no trouble!
The separation of life and money!
Both of them are vitally precious!

Outsuebushi, Ame no Yoni - In a Rainy Night　

Ameno yoni Nippon chikaku
Nebokete nagarekomu karamoyo
Kurofuneni norikomi happyakunin
Oozutsu kodsutsuo uchinarabe
Rasha shojohono tsutsuppo juban
Kuromboga mizusoko shigotosuru
Daishogunwa heyani kamaete
Sumashite majimegao
Nakanimo higedarakeno jagatara toojinga
Umio nagame, dora nyoobachio tataite
Kikurai kikurai kimmooraito
Amerika sashite
Moraishi daikon miyageni
Isogiyuku

In a rainy night, drawing closer to Nippon,
Strangers come half-awake.
Eight hundred sea men ride on a black ship,
Placing guns and canons side by side,
In a scarlet, wool, tight sleeved under-shirt.
Black men wash and do kitchen in the bottom,
Grand general stays in his room,
posing to be serious.
A fully bearded foreign stranger,
Looking at the sea, rings gongs and cymbals,
Shouting “Kick-rai, kick-rai! Kim-mohru!”
Toward America,
With white radish given as a present,
They hurry back!

　　　Asaku-tomo - Although it is shallow　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

Nekoja nekojato Oshamasuga
Nekoga nekoga ashida haite
Shibori no yukata de kuru monoka
Otchokochoi no choi
Otchokotyoi no choi
Choucho Tombo ya Kirigirisu
Yamade yamade nakunoga
Matsumushi suzumushi kutsuwamushi
Otchokochoi no choi
Otchokotyoi no choi

Though you call me a cat
Cats must not come with high clog
Or with spot-dyed yukata
Scatterbrain, scatterbrain!
Scatterbrain, scatterbrain!
Butterfly, dragonfly, and grasshopper
In the mountain, those make sound are
Cricket, pine-cricket, and katydid.
(Refrains that sound somewhat
Scatterbrain or sound of insects)
