Original lyrics

もみじ

秋の夕日に
照る山もみじ
濃いも薄いも
数あるなかに
松をいろどる
かえでやつたは
山のふもとの
すそもよう
 
谷の流れに
散り浮くもみじ
波にゆられて
はなれて寄って
赤や黄色の
色さまざまに
水の上にも
織る錦
 
English
Translation

Autumn Leaves

In the autumn sunset
The autumn leaves shine bright
Some are richer than others
There are many shades of colors
The pine trees are adorned
With the maple and ivy leaves
At the foot of the mountain
They make a beautiful pattern
 
Down the mountain stream
Fallen autumn leaves float
Moving to and fro on the ripples
Going apart and coming together
They shine in red and gold
Or many shades of them
Drifting away on the water
They weave splendid brocade
