In the towns and hills the cherry blossoms are at their best 町も野山も花ざかり Spring has come to the city of Kyoto 京の都に春が来た Spring has come to the city of flowers 花の都に春が来た Miyagawa flowers, Miyagawa flowers 花は宮川 花は宮川 Yooi yooi yoi Kyo Odori ヨーイ ヨーイ ヨイ京おどり The plovers whisper, even the ducks join in 鴨も千鳥がささやいた Whispering my love with you あなた恋しとささやいた Meeting your gaze in the spring wind 仇な目元に春の風 I love Miyagawa, I love Miyagawa 恋は宮川 恋は宮川 Yooi yooi yoi Kyo Odori ヨーイ ヨーイ ヨイ京おどり Dance and beat glamorously ふりも拍子も艶やかに Spring has come to the city of dance 舞の都に春が来た Spring has come, our fans in hand 扇もつ手に春がきた Miyagawa flowers, Miyagawa flowers 花は宮川 花は宮川 Yooi yooi yoi Kyo Odori ヨーイ ヨーイ ヨイ京おどり Flower haze on the river side as the sun rises 明けりゃ河原は花がすみ Last night's dream was a dream of love 夕べ見た夢恋の夢 Hiding in my breast, I'm with my sweetheart むねにたヽんだ二人連 Tthe flowers of Miyagawa, Miyagawa flowers 花は宮川 花は宮川 Yooi yooi yoi Kyo Odori ヨーイ ヨーイ ヨイ京おどり The city's rouge gifts to the country 国へみやげは都紅 Natto, Yatsuhashi and Misuya needle 納豆 八ツ橋 みすや針 Pickled leaves, pickled turnips and five-color beans すぐきしばづけ五色豆 A tale of gifts, a tale of gifts みやげばなしは, みやげばなしは Yooi yooi yoi Kyo Odori ヨーイ ヨーイ ヨイ京おどり
