Words to the Japanese Fish Song



In English...

Here is a mountain..................(draw an arch)
Here is a valley......................(draw an upside down arch)
In between there is
A wide field of wheat............(draw intersecting lines in center of "fish")

Then a sweet potato...............(draw the fish's smiley mouth)
And a little bean...................(draw the fish's eye)
Look, look!
Now you have
A goldfish too!

In Japanese...

Yama ga atte
Tani ga atte
Dan dan batake ni
Mugi batake

Imo ga atte
Mame ga atte
Ara ara
Sakana ni
Na cha ta!
