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
