案山子（かかし）
　　　作詞／作曲不詳 (明治４４年) 文部省唱歌（２年）

山田の中の一本足の案山子
天気のよいのに蓑笠着けて
朝から晩までただ立ちどおし
歩けないのか山田の案山子

山田の中の一本足の案山子
弓矢で威して力んで居れど
山では烏がかあかと笑う
耳が無いのか山田の案山子

A Scarecrow
(Translated by Sadao Mazuka)

Oh, Dear scarecrow in the mountain rice-field

Are you standing there all the day long?

Wearing a straw raincoat, though it's fine today

Can't you walk around ‘cause you have only one leg?

Oh, Dear scarecrow in the mountain rice-field

Though you startle birds with a bow and arrow

The crows cry, “caw-caw” with laughter on the mountain

Can't you hear them ‘cause the farmer painted no ear?
