Translation


O maiden
with a basket,
a pretty basket,
with a scoop,
a pretty scoop,
maiden picking greens
on this hillside:
I want to ask about your house;
I want to be told your name.
In the sky-filling land of Yamato
it is I
who rule everyone
it is I
who rule everywhere,
and so I think you will tell me
where you live,
what you are called


Terjemahan


Keranjangmu,
keranjang mungil
Tajakmu terlalu kecil
Nona, yang menjumput bunga
di gigir bukit
Kepadamu aku bertanya: Siapa namamu?
Seluruh negeri Yamato
Luas nian kuasaku
jauh sungguh pengaruhku
Maka, katakan padaku
Di mana rumahmu, siapa namamu
