《樱花》是一首日本民歌,创作于江户时代末期,后由日本著名音乐家清水修整理,被誉为“日本民族第一乐”教材中所选的歌谱为日本作曲家清水修编曲,歌词为张碧清译配。这是我国小学音乐课本上的版本,很受小朋友们的欢迎。其歌词如下:
Sakura, sakura,
樱花啊,樱花啊,
March sunny,
阳春三月晴空下,
As far as the eye can see are the cherry blossoms.
一望无际是樱花。
As the clouds bloom,
如霞似云花烂漫,
The aroma is picturesque.
芳香飘荡美如画。
Come on, come on,
快来呀,快来呀,
Go see the flowers together
一同去赏花。
Cherry blossom! Cherry blossom!
樱花啊!樱花啊!
It will be dawn in the late spring,
暮春时节天将晓,
The rays of the sun dazzled her with laughter,
霞光照眼花英笑,
The sky is blue,
万里长空白云起,
Beautiful and fragrant, let the wind drift.
美丽芬芳任风飘。
Go to the flower! Go to the flower!
去看花!去看花!
Look at the flowers early.
看花要趁早。
