Sakura (Cherry Blossoms) a Japanese Folk Song

Cherry tree!  Cherry tree!
Cherry blossoms everywhere!


These are cherry blossoms, which bloom in the spring.  

Sixth grade is singing a song about Cherry Blossoms for our concert (Thursday, November 5th at 6:30 p.m.).  Here are the English words and the phonetic pronunciation of the Japanese words:

Cherry tree, cherry tree!  Cherry blossoms everywhere.
Far as any eye can see.  Mist and beauty fill the air.
Lovely blossoms scent the breeze. 
Come with me, come with me!  Let us go and see!

Sakura, sakura!  Ya yo i no so ra wa.
Mi watasu kagiri. Kasu mika kumoka.
Nio izo izuru.
Iza ya, iza ya!  Mi ni yu ka N. (hum the "n")
