Akahana no Tonakai

Makka na ohana no tonakai-san wa

Itsumo minna no waraimono

Demo sono toshi no kurisumasu no hi

Santa no ojisan wa iimashita

Kurai yomichi wa pika pika no

Omae no hana ga yaku ni tatsu no sa

Itsumo naiteta tonakai-san wa

Koyoi koso wa to yorokobimashita

Translation:

Akahana no tonakai
red-nosed reindeer

Makka na ohana no tonakai-san wa
Mr. reindeer with a very red nose...
Itsumo minna no waraimono
was the one everyone always laughed at
Demo sono toshi no kurisumasu no hi
But on that year's Christmas day
Santa no ojisan wa iimashita
Santa said
Kurai yomichi wa pika pika no Omae no hana ga yaku ni tatsu no sa
your shiny nose will be useful on my dark night's journey
Itsumo naiteta tonakai-san wa
The reindeer that was crying all the time
Koyoi koso wa to yorokobi mashita
tonight rejoiced!
