Romaji

Hiiya fuuya miiya youya
Itsu muu nana yaa kokonotsu tou
Temari korogete doko he yuku

Edo no meibutsu kaji ni kenka ni
Iseya ni inari ni inu no fun
Furisode kaji wa honmyouji
Koi no shuunen osoroshiya
Haregi ga hi wo fuki tonda so na

Kaji da kaji da kaji wa chikai
Iori no soba made enshouchuu
Bashou tobikomu mizu no oto

Edo no hikeshi wa irohashijuuhachi
Yagura de hanshou ga jan to narya
Honoo ni matoi no otokodate
Tayorinai no wa ryuudosui
Namae ni maketeru mizudeppou

Senryou bako ga zusshiri omoi
Dorobou kagyou no daigomi da
Tsuki ni hoetara okkochita

Hiiya fuuya miiya youya
Itsu muu nana yaa kokonotsu tou
Hiiya fuuya miiya youya
Itsu muu nana yaa kokonotsu tou
Ton to shubi yoku tsuki agari

English

One, two, three, four
Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten
I roll my temari ball, where will it go?

The Edo Period is famous for fires and fights
And Iseya* and Inari and dog poop
The Furisode Fire happened at Honmyoji Temple
Love’s obsession is a scary thing
They say that a beautiful kimono fanned the flames of the fire

Fire, fire, the fire is getting closer
It’s even spread to the area next to the safe house
Hear the splash as Basho jumps into the water

The Edo fire brigade was divided into the 48 Iroha units**
When the bell rang in the tower
The Date men came with matois for the fires
The ryudosui fire pumps*** are unreliable
They’re just glorified water pistols

Senryo-bako**** are back-breakingly heavy
They’re the high point of thief rings’ lives
I howled to the moon and fell in love

One, two, three, four
Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten
One, two, three, four
Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten
It shoots right up in the air

*There were a huge number of shops and businesses called Iseya in the Edo Period – so many that people apparently really do say that the Edo Period’s biggest things were fires, fights, Iseya, Inari and dog poop.
**Iroha was the alphabet used at the time. So the fire brigade was divided into 48 units according to that.
***An instrument used by Edo firefighters, consisting of a box of water and a pump to spray it at the fire.
****A sturdy money chest, like a safe, that wealthy merchants stored large sums of money in.
