雪やこんこ 霰やこんこ。
降つては降つては ずんずん積る。
山も野原も 綿帽子かぶり、
枯木残らず 花が咲く。
雪やこんこ 霰やこんこ。
降つても降っても まだ降りやまぬ。
犬は喜び 庭駈けまわり、
猫はこたつで 丸くなる。

Yuki ya konko Arare ya konko.
Futte wa futte wa zunzun tsumoru.
Yama mo nohara mo wataboshi kaburi,
kareki nokorazu hana ga saku.
Yuki ya konko Arare ya konko.
Futte mo futte mo mada furi yamanu.
Inu wa yorokobi niwa kake-mawari,
neko wa kotatsu de maruku naru.
