僧ーちゃん、僧ーちゃん、どこ行くの？
私が田んぼにいめかいり。
私にいっしょうにつめだせ。
お前がつるがじゃまりなる*
このぼうーちゃん、ぼうーちゃん、らんぼうーちゃん、
うしろのしょうめだあれ？
Monk boy, monk boy, where are you going?
I'm going to the rice paddy.
Let me come with you.
You'll get in my way*
You little monk, little monk, you little rascal
Who's that behind you?
Notes
*You will get tangled up in "vines".
