**Full Version**
Parippen Pokari Da
(Bringing Life to the Fields)
Gather, brothers, in the fields
Bring your trowels and hoes
Ichi begins his daily climb
Now we must work hard
Cleave the soil
Plant the seed
Use a gentle hand
Draw the water
Cool and sweet
For the thirsty land
Call upon the spirit of sky
Call upon the spirit of earth
Call upon the spirit of water
Umi...
Umi...
Bring forth new life
Ichi shines down upon us
Bringing warmth to the ground
Time to rest and time to eat
Now we must return
Chant the words
Raise the hoe
Keep the rhythm strong
Work together
To the goal
For the day is long
Call upon the spirit of sky
Call upon the spirit of earth
Call upon the spirit of water
Umi...
Umi...
Bring forth new life
Ichi falls, Ni-San rises
Brothers, work is done today
Put away your farming tools
Now we must go home
Bless the land
Guard the crops
Umi, first of kin
With the Dragon
strong and true
For the Namek-jin
Call upon the spirit of sky
Call upon the spirit of earth
Call upon the spirit of water
Umi...
Umi...
Bring forth new life
