みどりのそよ風
清水かつら作詞・草川信作曲

みどりのそよ風　いい日だね
蝶蝶も　ひらひら　豆の花
七色畑に　妹の
つまみ菜　つむ手が　可愛いな

みどりのそよ風　いい日だね
ぶらんこ　ゆりましょう　歌いましょう
巣箱の円窓　ねんね鳥
ときどき　おつむが　のぞいてる

みどりのそよ風　いい日だね
ボールがぽんぽん　ストライク
打たせりゃ二塁の　すべり込み
セーフだおでこの　汗をふく

みどりのそよ風　いい日だね
小川のふなつり　うきが浮く
静かなさざなみ　はね上げて
きらきら金ぶな　うれしいな

みどりのそよ風　いい日だね
遊びにいこうよ　丘越えて
あの子のおうちの　花畑
もうじき苺も　摘めるとさ

　　　

I like the sunny green breezes
(Translated by Sadao Mazuka)

I like the sunny green breezes
How nice is today!
Butterflies are flying around the flowers
My sister is enjoying picking flowers
And we will display them all on the drawers

I like the sunny green breezes
How nice is today!
Shall we sing the songs and swing on the swing?
Little birds are looking down us and singing
From the little birdhouse that we had hung

I like the sunny green breezes
How nice is today!
My brothers are enjoying the ballgames
The hitting sound of the ball makes me cheerful
Their sweat is shining in the sun

I like the sunny green breezes
How nice is today!
My father is enjoying fishing in the stream
And he shouts out to me when he catches one
I grasp it and put it in the creel

I like the sunny green breezes
How nice is today!
My mother says that we are going somewhere;
We are going to her friend’s strawberry field.
And she says "Let's pick the strawberries?"(2006.1.8)
