Kon nichi wa akachan Little treasure from Japan Kon nichi wa akachan You are mama's little man With your cheeks of cherry red And your lovely eyes of brown In your own cozy bed Mama lies you safely down Kon nichi wa akachan Tiny laughing baby boy Kon nichi wa akachan You are papa's child of joy So proudly little man Before your cot I bow My treasure from Japan Give the smile to mama now
See the moon lighting high Like a boat in the sky It is carrying the sand man With his song of lullaby Kon nichi wa akachan Mama kiss your tears away Kon nichi wa akachan Be the man your papa said Here's the distant tang of bells Ringing out the magic spell This is the song that they sing To my tiny sleepy king All lasting love my little man Oyasumi akachan Little treasure from Japan
