Ms. Lopez & Mr. Anderson's Classes -- Lyric for "Hitotsu Toya"

Hi Fifth Grade Magnet. As you know, we are doing two songs for are part in the show. The first one is Hitotsu Toya. I have given your teacher a recording in Japanese and in English. We will be performing one verse in each.

Here are the lyrics as we will perform them:

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 their hangs
A spray of lovely pine;
A spray of lovely pine.

Remember, as part of this song we will be performing our dance/Orff instrument improvisation.

  1. I am looking for a dance to go with this song did you make one up or is there a standard dance to go with it?
