さくら さくら
野山も里も
見わたす限り
かすみか雲か
朝日ににおう

花ざかり
さくら さくら
やよいの空は
見わたす限り
かすみか雲か
匂いぞ出ずる
いざや いざや
見にゆかん

Translation:
Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms,
In fields and villages,
As far as you can see,
Is it mist, or are they clouds?
Fragrant in the morning sun,
Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms,
Flowers in full bloom!
Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms,
Across the spring sky,
As far as you can see,
Is it a mist, or are they clouds?
Fragrant in the air,
Come now, come now,
Let's look, at last!
