TAMPOPO (Dandelion)
music, lyrics - Nobuko Miyamoto
The seed of a dandelion scatters in the sky
A windblown weed, a wild flower, watch it fly
Dancing on the wind, spinning from a world it leaves behind
Dancing on wind, new life, new life begins
Okagesama de - Okagesama de (thanks to the unknown forces)
Through all the forces
Through the shadows and the light
The unknown forces, dandelion
Okagesama de - yare yare sore - okagesama de
The seed of a dandelion scatters in the sky
Tampopo, tampopo – tadano tampopo, tampopo
A windblown weed, a wild flower, watch it fly
Tampopo, tampopo – tadano tampopo, tampopo
Dancing on the wind, spinning to a world beyond the eye
Dancing on wind, new life, new life begins
On this night past and present are one
On this night of Obon, dandelions return
On this night, the old and the young
All the dandelions dance, dance as one
Not a rose or an iris, not a bird of paradise
Not an orchid or a lily, just a simple dandelion
We are simple dandelion
Tadano Tampopo - tadano tampopo…
