Lyrics and Translation in Description!
This song is about Tanabata, one of the major festivals in Japan held on July 7th. Some of the words in the song are very old and may not sound familiar so it would be a great song to sing with grandparents!
Japanese Lyrics:
ささのは さらさら
のきばに ゆれる
おほしさま きらきら
きんぎん すなご
ごしきの たんざく
わたしが かいた
おほしさま きらきら
そらから みてる
English Translation:
Bamboo leaves
Are tossed in the wind
The stars are shining
Gold and silver sand
Five different colors of
Wishing strips I wrote
The stars are shining
Watching over us from the sky
