Lyrics by Sasaki Nobutsuna Music by Koyama Sakunosuke 1. On the hedge where the scent of unosama flowers hangs, The cuckoo comes early and cries, its cries secretly. Summer has not come. 2. In the mountain fields where the May rains are pouring, The young maidens, their skirts wet, are planting seedlings. Summer has not come. 3. Near the window by the eaves where the scent of tachibana flowers hangs, Fireflies fly about. They scold the people who are resigned. Summer has not come. 4. The linden trees are falling. At the riverside inn. The gate is far away, the water fowls are crowing, the evening moon is cool, summer has not come. 5 In the darkness of May, fireflies fly about, the water fowls are crowing, unosaka flowers are blooming, the seedlings are planted, summer has not come.
