Lyrics (in japanese): Ho, ho, hotaru koi! Acchi no mizu wa nigai zo. Kocchi no mizu wa amai zo. Ho, ho, hotaru koi! Yamamichi koi! Ando no hikari de mata koi koi!
Lyrics (English Translation): Ho, ho, ho firefly come, there is some water that's bitter to taste. Come, here is some water that is sweet to your taste; Ho, ho, ho, firefly ho, ho, ho, up this mountain path. Firefly's daddy stuck it rich, so he's got lots of dough, no wonder that his rear end sparkles in the dark. Ho, ho, ho firefly, up this mountain path. In the daytime hiding amongst the dewy blades of grass, but when it's night, his lantern burns bright. Even though we have flown all the way from India, zoom! and those sparrows swarm to swallow us.
