Tarakihi [English translation]

Clap in unison,

in unison, in unison.

Stamp your feet smoothly

Hands outstretched

then back.

I listen

to the cry

of this flying creature

of the cicada

in the middle

of the night.

Tara ra ta ki ta ki ta

.... cicada noises

Quivering rear end, whirring, whirring

Quivering rear end, whirring, whirring

Knees bent

hips swaying

Ei! Ei! Ha !
