DescriptionTranslation of lyrics from Japanese, by Kuniko and Kendall Brown:
“Together, together, on the paddy’s black path,
With red sashes, girls all together
Green rice paddies, in the season of planting
Girls together, like flowers blooming
Alright, toss ‘em, bundle and toss ‘em.
Together together, young paddy seedlings,
Joined in song, on the paddy all together
Green rice fields, in morning wind, gentle wind
Girls together, in the water reflecting
Alright, toss ‘em, bundle and toss ‘em.
Together together, in the green fields
Seedlings and girls, lined up together
Paddies, golden rice ears, are waving
Girls together, ready to marry
Alright, toss ‘em, bundle and toss ‘em."
“Together, together, on the paddy’s black path,

Joined in song, on the paddy all together
Green rice fields, in morning wind, gentle wind
Girls together, in the water reflecting
Alright, toss ‘em, bundle and toss ‘em.
Together together, in the green fields
Seedlings and girls, lined up together
Paddies, golden rice ears, are waving
Girls together, ready to marry
Alright, toss ‘em, bundle and toss ‘em."
