Yurika go no uta o
Nenneko, nenneko,
Nenneko yo.
Yurika go no uta o,
kanari ya ga uta u yo.
Nenneko, nenneko,
Nenneko yo.

Here's the full version of this lullaby in Japanese. If anyone can provide a translation and/or a transliteration, please email me. Thanks! Mama Lisa

ゆりかごのうたを
カナリヤが歌うよ
ねんねこねんねこ
ねんねこよ

ゆりかごのう たを
カナリヤが歌うよ
ねんねこねんねこ
ねんねこよ

ゆりかごのうえに
枇杷の実が揺れるよ
ねんねこ ねんねこ
ねんねこよ

ゆりかごのつなを
木ねずみが揺するよ
ねんねこねんねこ
ねんねこよ

ゆ りかごのゆめに
黄色い月がかかるよ
ねんねこねんねこ
ねんねこよ
