Tombo no megane
Tombo no megane wa mizuiro megane
Aoi osora wo tonda kara tonda kara
Tombo no megane wa pikapika megane
Otento sama wo miteta kara miteta kara
Tombo no megane wa akairo megane
Yuuyake gumo wo tonda kara tonda kara

Glasses of Dragonfly
The glasses worn by the dragonflies are light blue glasses
Because it flies in the blue sky. Because it flies
The glasses worn by the dragonflies are shiny glasses
Because it was watching the glittering sun. Because it was watching
The glasses worn by the dragonflies are autumn colored glasses
Because it flies through the clouds in the sunset. Because it flies
