どんぐり ころころ
“どんぐり ころころ どんぶりこ
おいけに はまって さあ たいへん
どじょうが でてきて こんにちわ
ぼっちゃん いっしょに あそびましょう
どんぐり ころころ よろこんで
しばらく いっしょに あそんだが
やっぱり おやまが こいしいと
ないては どじょうを こまらせた

A Rolling Acorn
An acorn rolled down and down,
Suddenly fell into a pond.
Loaches came by the donburi
And said Let’s play together
The acorn enjoyed their company.
And played with them for a while
The acorn wanted to go back to the mountain.
The loaches were upset
