Yuki
Snow
Children's Song
(Transliterated Japanese)
Yuki ya kon kon
Arare ya kon kon
Futte wa futte wa
Zoon zoon tsumoru
Yama mo nohara mo
Wata boshi kaburi
Kareki nokorazu
Hana ga saku.
Children's Song
(English)
Snow is falling, kon kon
Hail is falling, kon kon
Falling, falling
Flies up high with hail and snow.
Snow white cotton caps
All the hills and fields are wearing,
On the bare old trees the little
Snow flowers are in bloom.

Yuki
Yuki ya konko arare ya konko
Futte wa futte wa zunzun tsumoru
Yama mo nohara mo wataboshi kaburi
Kareki nokorazu hana ga saku
Yuki ya konko arare ya konko
Futtemo futtemo mada furiyamanu
Inu wa yorokobi niwa kakemawari
Neko wa kotatsu de maruku naru
The name of this song in Japanese is 雪やコンコン.
Many thanks to Lisa B. for contributing and translating this song. Thanks also to Monique Palomares for the midi tune.
Many thanks to Roxanne Dixon for sending the score and the recording of schoolchildren in Japan singing Yuki. Roxanne collected the recording (along with others) on her trip to Japan as part of the Fulbright Memorial Fund Teacher Exchange Program, a Program of the Japanese government to foster goodwill and understanding between the US and Japan.
