[B. Ito]

これは、日本文部省唱歌、小学校2年生用のよく知られた「歌」です。
英訳して歌たってみました。　3番に関しては、日本語歌詞/英語歌詞
共私の創作です。 なんなりとコメント頂ければうれしいです。

This is one of Nihon-Monbushou School Songs, which is well known
as a text for 2nd graders. As to the 3rd verse, both the Japanese
lyrics and the English lyrics are written by myself. All those
translations and my trial vocal sample are in my Homepage, Part 4,
item No. 128.

foot of my translations. Any further comments, suggesitons and
corrections of my English are very much appreicated.
