Donguri

Donguri korokoro donburiko, O-ike ni hamatte saa taihen. Dojou ga detekite konnichi wa, Botchan issho ni asobimashou!	An acorn rolled down and down, He suddenly fell into a pond. Then came the loaches*, Hi boy! Come play with us!
Donguri korokoro yorokonde, Shibaraku issho ni asonda ga. Yappari o-yama ga koishii to, Naite wa dojou wo komaraseta.	The acorn enjoyed playing with them. But he soon began to cry, I want to go back to the mountain. The loaches didn't know what to do.

どんぐりころころ　どんぶりこ

お池いけにはまって　さあ大変たいへん

どじょうが出でて来きて　今日きょうは

ぼっちゃん一緒いっしょに　遊あそびましょう

２

どんぐりころころ　よろこんで

しばらく一緒いっしょに　遊あそんだが

やっぱりお山やまが　恋こいしいと

泣ないてはどじょうを　困こまらせた
