Old Woman of Iwaki Sings Song Dedicated to God Anba-sama (1)

Winds blowing from God Anba-sama in the offing
How wonderful How wonderful!
Catch sardines, catch sardines
Winds blowing on cedar leaf fragrances
How wonderful! How wonderful! /
The New Year’s God we welcome once a year
How wonderful! How wonderful!
The whole family is here together
And all are harmonious.
How wonderful! How wonderful! /
Sounds like a crane’s voice on the New Year’s Day
That spring well bucket
How wonderful! How wonderful!
Let’s ladle fresh water into the turtle-like jar
How wonderful! How wonderful! /
