♫ "Ame" (Rain) (雨) [ 童謡 ] (a classic Japanese nursery rhyme)

December 25, 2010: Christmas Day
It's raining in San Francisco, California.

The feeling of wanting to go out but it's raining, reminds me of a certain Japanese kindergarten song I learned years ago, of a little girl who wanted to play outside but it's been raining all day.

AME (雨)
by poet: Hakushu Kitahara

Ame ga furimasu.
Ame ga furu.
Asobi ni ikitashi kasa wa nashi
Beni o no kakko mo o ga kireta

Ame ga furimasu.
Ame ga furu
Iyademo ouchi de asobimashoo
Chiyogami orimashoo tatamimashoo
**
Amega furimasu.
Ame ga furu.
Ken ken kokiji ga ima naita
Kokiji mo samukaro samishii karo.

Ame ga furimasu.
Ame ga furu.
Oningyoo nekasedo mada yamanu
Osenko hanabi mo mina yaita

Amega furimasu.
Ame ga furu.
Hiru mo furu furu.
Yoru mo furu.
Ame ga furimasu.
Ame ga furu.
