A joyful melody
The season to hear it has come
A joyful melody
The season to hear it has come
In the eastern sky
It appears like morning light
A thousand desires
Won't the heart within sing them?
A joyful melody
The season to hear it has come
In hearts leaping with joy
As the gentle breeze brings a message
Everywhere there appear
The happy rhythms of pure delight
The silver mountain sights
And the clouds that gather around them
In the heart that beholds them
Let feelings of warmth and kinship overflow
Without any deceit
As innocent hearts leap up
All the bottled-up
Thoughts slowly fall away
Singing melodies and keeping the beat
Won't they soar across the sky?
A joyful melody, the season to hear it has come
La la la la la la la la la
Colorful thoughts
And the hearts where they alight
Across the open sky
It is a time for them to parade
Little flashes of lightning
And the weaves of imagination
When they come together
A thousand beautiful patterns emerge
From today, happiness will overflow
This heart will wander far and wide
A poetic melody will echo on the breeze
A new season has begun
A joyful melody
The season to hear it has come
In the eastern sky
It appears like morning light
A thousand desires
Won't the heart within sing them?
A joyful melody
The season to hear it has come
La la la la la la la la la
