English Lyric
The sunset fades into the Na-no-Hana fields
Looking out over the mountainside, mist envelopes
The spring breeze wafts softly, if you look up at the sky
The evening moon hangs above, a faint floral scent
Firelight shadows of village houses, the color of the forest
A person following the small road through a rice field
A frog’s cry, the (temple) bell’s toll
They all grow hazy in the Misty Moonlit Night
by Minori Suzuki & Iwao Junko

Oborotsukiyo” [Lit: Hazy Moon on a Spring Night]
“Oborotsukiyo” is Japanese choral song composed by Okano Teiichi with lyrics written by Takano Tatsuyuki. It was first published in 1914 (Year 3 of the Taisho Period) as one of the “Jinjo Shogaku Shoka” - or "Common Songs for Elementary School" - with the song (primarily) being used for 6th Graders.
“Oborotsukiyo” is a seasonal word that conjures the image of a spring night where the moon grows slightly hazy.
In addition to “Oborotsukiyo,” other songs born of Okano and Takano’s collaboration are “Furusato (Birthplace)”, ”Haru ga Kita (Spring Has Come)“, ”Haru no Ogawa (Spring Rivulet)“, and ”Momiji (Autumn Colors)“ to name a few.
