蛙の笛
作詞：斎藤信夫　作曲：海沼実

月夜の田んぼで　コロロコロロ
コロロコロコロ　鳴る笛は
あれはね　あれはね
あれは蛙の銀の笛　ささ銀の笛

あの笛きいてりゃ　コロロコロロ
コロロコロコロ　眠くなる
あれはね　あれはね
あれは蛙の子守唄　ささ子守唄

蛙が笛吹きゃ　コロロコロロ
コロロコロコロ　夜が更ける
ごらんよ　ごらんよ
ごらんお月さんも夢見てる　ささ夢見てる

Silver Flutes of Frogs
(Translated by Sadao Mazuka)

From the fields in the moonlit night,
beep cheep, beep cheep, beep cheep-cheep the sounds come
You know what? You know what?
You know these are the silver flutes of frogs, in the rice fields

They play flutes in the fields,
beep cheep, beep cheep, beep cheep-cheep so skillfully
You know what? You know what?
You know they are playing a lullaby for people, to have a nice dream

When they play in the moonlit night,
beep cheep, beep cheep, beep cheep-cheep so skillfully
Look at the moon! Look at the moon!
Look at the moon that is dreaming in the sky, in the deep sky!(2011.8.11)
