会津磐梯山は宝の山よ
笹に黄金（こがね）がなりさがる

Mount Bandai of Aizu is a treasure mountain
Even the bamboo grass ears are all so golden

何故に磐梯あの様（よ）に若い
湖水鏡（こすいかがみ）で化粧する

Mount Bandai, how come she always looks so young
'Cause she makes up her face on the glassy surface of the lake

北は磐梯　南は湖水
中に浮き立つ翁島（おきなじま）

Mount Bandai is to the north, the lake to the south
And in the lake reigns the Island of Okina

主（ぬし）は笛吹く私は踊る
櫓太鼓（やぐらだいこ）の上と下

You play the festival flute and I dance to the music
High up on the wooden stage and down at its bottom

小原庄助さん　何で身上（しんしょう）潰（つぶ）した
朝寝朝酒朝湯が大好きで　それで身上つぶした
ハアもっともだもっともだ

Ohara Shosuke-san, how did he lose his fortune?
Morning sleep-in, morning sake and morning hot bath, he loved them all,
and ended up broke
Oh, I see. Oh, I see
