Ms. Salazar's and Mr. Alpert's class -- you will be performing two songs for the holiday show together, the first of which is "Hitotsu Toya," a New Year's song from Japan. This track features the Japanese verse and enough room for you to sing the English verse karioke stye against an instrumental background. To really perfect your Japanese pronunciation check the second track posted above.
Hitotsu Toya (Temple Bells)
Japanese Folk Song
Hitotsu toya,
Hitoyo akureba.
Nigiyahka de.
Nigiyahka de.
Okazari tate taru
Matsukazari
Matsukazari
Temple bells will chime, oh
Chime for the bright new year
That comes to us tonight;
Comes to us tonight.
Now on ev’ry door there hangs
A spray of lovely pine;
A spray of lovely pine.
