Firefly Love
Ho, ho firefly love,
That water over there is bitter -
The water here is sweet -
Ho, ho firefly love,
Ho ho, mountain road love
The father of the firefly is rich
and his butt is shiny
Ho, ho firefly love
It's a mountain road
In the daytime, the shadow of the grass
-at night, the lanterns are lit up -
If you go up to India, you'll be taken away
by a tengu -
Ho, ho firefly love,
That water over there is bitter -
Ho, ho firefly love
The water here is sweet -
Ho, ho firefly love
It's a mountain road
The light of the firefly
just take a look, love -
Ho ho firefly love
Ho, ho, mountain road love,
ho,ho,ho,ho,ho,ho,ho
