もういくつねるとお正月
お正月には 凧あげて
こまをまわして 遊びましょう
はやくこいこいお正月

もういくつねるとお正月
お正月には まりついて
おいばねついて 遊びましょう
はやくこいこいお正月

Translation

 

How many nights to sleep until it's New Year's?
On New Year's Day let's fly kites
and play by spinning tops
Come come fast, New Year's

How many nights to sleep until it's New Year's?
On New Year's Day let's bounce a ball
and play with a shuttlecock
Come come fast, New Year's
