White Strawberry
From Rurouni Kenshin
Makka na ichigo no hatake no naka ni
Shiroi ichigo ga narimasu
Minna tanoshige asonde 'ru no ni
Umaku naka ni hairanai
In the middle of the field of deep-red strawberries
There is a white strawberry
Though everyone's happily playing
They don't go in there
Sono toki itazura ohisama ga
Shiroi ichigo wo mite 'mashita
Kyuu ni poka-poka de kusuguttakute
Karada-juu ga atsui desu
That time, the mischievous sun
Was looking at the white strawberry
Suddenly, it became warm and ticklish
The strawberry went hot all over
Makka na kao de warattara
Tomodachi ippai sugu dekimashita
If you laugh heartily with a red face
You'll quickly gain lots of friends
Makka na ichigo no hatake no naka de
Shiroi shoujo ga asobimasu
Akaku naritate chiisa na ichigo
Oishisou ni mite imasu
In the middle of the field of deep-red strawberries
A white maiden plays
Looking at it deliciously
A strawberry that turned red
Sono toki ichigo wa odoroite
Happa no ushiro e kakuremasu
Shoujo ga genki ni nareru no naraba
Taberarete mo ii kashira
That time, the strawberry got surprised
And it hid behind the leaves
If the maiden gets well
I wonder if she'd be good to eat
Keredo shoujo wa iimashita
Futari issho ni okkiku narou
But the maiden said
Let's grow up together
