Japanese Children's Song - 童謡 - 3D Mori no Kuma-san - 3D森のくまさん

This song is a very famous Japanese children's song. Japanese kids like singing this song at karaoke. Its original song is an American folk song titled as "The Other Day I Met a Bear" or "Bear Song." In the original song, when a bear met a man and noticed that he didn't have a gun, the bear told him to run away. And he ran away in a big hurry. But, the Japanese lyrics is a bit different. Let's take a listen to it!

Challenge yourself! Use the Japanese you've studied up to this point and see how much you understand! If you've watched our Kantan Kana series you can try to sing along. Making the jump to real-life Japanese is a scary one, but friendly children's songs are a great place to start!

Lyrics:

あるひ もりの なか
くまさんに であった
はな さく もりの みち
くまさんに であった

くまさんの いうことにゃ
おじょうさん おにげなさい
スタコラ サッサッサのサ
スタコラ サッサッサのサ

ところが くまさんが
あとから ついてくる
トコトコ トッコトッコト
トコトコ トッコトッコト

おじょうさん おまちなさい
ちょっと おとしもの
しろい かいがらの
ちいさな イヤリング

あら くまさん ありがとう
おれいに うたいましょう
ラララ ラララララ
ラララ ラララララ
