Gion-cho

Welcome~, thank you
pleased to meet you
Light red softly,
“Gion-cho”

“Hana kanzashi” colorings
are changing around
It’s in Kyoto,
Where are Cherry Blossoms?
Not yet the season…
Please take care

Straight ahead
Raise your butt up
You have to open up
That’s your life
Bundled Japanese Hair
Two lines on back of your neck
Shining lipstick on your white makeup

It’s so good
Inspired “Darari obi”
Tighten up,
Making the sounds on your feet with Geta
“Karan koron” in my mind

Please take care
Straight ahead
Raise your butt up
You have to open up
That’s your life
Do whatever you want to

In the City I adored
Color the Japanese traditional folding fan
Like you are in a dream, dance gorgeously
Please enjoy your time
What do you wanna do tonight?

It's good thing or bad thing, 
Knowing how to play in the tatami room
Greeting with “senjya fuda”
And hospitality
How about an another cup of sake?

Come again
Please come again
Please take care
Straight ahead
Raise your butt up
You have to open up
That’s your life
Do whatever you want to

In the City I adored
Color the Japanese traditional folding fan
Like you are in a dream, dance gorgeously
My nostalgic home town,
Missing “Gion town” always

I came here alone with my decision
It’s a proud ancient city in the history
Pride to “ware shinobu”
I keep in my mind “erigae” someday
its started again here
Thank you very much,
Thank you.
