FIRST HALF

Ripples! Karasaki in Shiga!
You women pounding rice are good!
You here, you there,
let me be your loving husband,
your loving husband!

SECOND HALF

Rice-pounding crab in the paddies by the reed plain!
Is it that you haven't got a bride?
Raising your arms, lowering them,
lowering them and raising them,
doing an exercise like that!
