守も嫌がる　盆から先にゃ
雪もちらつくし　子も泣くし

盆が来たとて　何嬉しかろ
帷子は無し　帯は無し

この子よう泣く　守をばいじる
守も一日　痩せるやら

早よも行きたや　この在所越えて
向こうに見えるは　親の家
向こうに見えるは　親の家

Mori mo [bad word]  Bon kara saki-nya
Yuki mo chiratsuku-shi, Ko mo naku-shi

Bon ga kita-tote, Nani ureshi-karo
Katabira wa nashi, Obi wa nashi

Kono ko you naku, Mori wo ba [bad word] Mori mo ichi-nichi, [bad word] yara

Hayo-mo yuki-taya, Kono zaisho koete
Mukou ni [bad word] wa, Oya no uchi
Mukou ni [bad word] wa, Oya no uchi

I would hate baby-sitting beyond Bon Festival,
The snow begins to fall, and the baby cries.

How can I be happy even when Bon Festival is here?
I don't have nice clothes or a sash to wear.

This child continues to cry and is mean to me.
Every day I grow thinner.

I would quickly quit here and go back
To my parents' home over there,
To my parents' home over there.
