Delightful Hinamatsuri [うれしいひなまつり]
singer: Kuwana Sadako,
lyrics: Satoh Hachiro, music: Kawamura Kouyou
---------------------------------------------------------
Let's light candles in paper lanterns
Let's offer the peach branch with flowers
Five court musicians play flute and tambours
Today is delightful Hinamatsuri (Girls' Day)
Emperor and Empress dolls
keep their countenaces with composure
and sit side-by-side
One of court ladies
with the fair white face
bears a strong resemblance
to my married elder sister
The spring breeze
has a swing at
sunlit gilded folding screens faintly
It may be that Minister of Light
drinks white sake a little
It looks like that
the face of he gets red
I will get respectable dressed
I put on my kimono and tie the obi
Today I have a proud moment
like Her Empress Doll
Today, Hinamatsuri Festival Day,
A pleasing spring day on March 3rd
It will be a good day for little ladies
It will make my day, Hinamatsuri

うれしいひなまつり
歌:桑名貞子 作詞:サトウハチロー 作曲:河村 光陽

灯りを点けましょ 雪洞に
お花を上げましょ 桃の花
五人囃子の笛太鼓
今日は楽しい雛祭
お内裏様とお雛様
二人並んで澄まし顔
お嫁にいらした姉様に
よく似た官女の白い顔
金の屏風に映る日を
幽かに揺する春の風
少し白酒召されたか
赤いお顔の右大臣
着物を着替えて 帯絞めて
今日は私も 晴れ姿
春の弥生の この佳き日
何より嬉しい 雛祭
