Momiji
Aki no yuuhi ni teruyama momiji
Koi mo usui mo kazuaru nakani
Matsu wo irodoru kaede ya tsuta wa
Yama no fumoto no susomoyou
Tani no nagare ni chiriyuku momiji
Nami ni yurarete hanarete yotte
Akaya kiiro no iro samazama ni
Mizu no ueni mo oru nishiki

Autumn leaves
Autumn leaves are visible in the mountains illuminated by the autumn sunset.
There are dark colors, light colors, and various colors.
The maple, ivy, which colors the pine,
It adds color to the foot of the mountain.
Maple leaves fall into the river flowing through the valley.
The waves are shaking, leaving and approaching.
Various colors of red and yellow
Are woven on the water.
