まわれ まわれ まわれよ 水車まわれ

まわって お日さん 呼んでこい

まわって お日さん 呼んでこい

鳥 虫 けもの 草 木 花

春 夏 秋 冬 連れてこい

春 夏 秋 冬 連れてこい

まわれ めぐれ めぐれよ 遥かなときよ

めぐって 心を 呼びかえせ

めぐって 心を 呼びかえせ

鳥 虫 けもの 草 木 花

人の情けを はぐくみて

まつとしきかば 今かへりこむ .

Maware maware maware yo mizu guruma maware

Mawatte ohisan yon de koi

Mawatte ohisan yon de koi

Tori mushi kemono kusa ki hana

Haru natsu aki fuyu tsure te koi

Haru natsu aki fuyu tsure te koi

Maware megure megure yo harukana toki yo

Megutte kokoro o yobikaese

Megutte kokoro o yobikaese

Tori mushi kemono kusa ki hana

Hito no nasake o hagukumite

Matsu to shiki kaba ima kaeri komu

Go round, go round, go round, Waterwheel, go round

Go round, and call Mr. Sun

Go round, and call Mr. Sun

Birds, bugs, beasts, grass, trees, flowers

Spring and summer, autumn, winter, bring them all on

Spring and summer, autumn, winter, bring them all on

Go round, come round distant time, come round, O distant time

Come round, call back my heart

Come round, call back my heart

Birds, bugs, beasts, grass, trees, flowers

Teach people how to feel

If I hear that you pine for me

I will return to you.
