そらとぶおばあさん

(There was an old woman tossed up in a basket)

つきよりたかく

かごにのって

そらとぶおばあさん

ほうきかたてに

どこにいくの

そらとぶおばあさん

どこにいくの　おばあさん

つれてってよ　ぼくらも

おそらのくもを　はらうのさ

わるいけど　またこんど

or♪

There was an old woman tossed up in a basket,

Seventeen times as high as the moon;

Where she was going I couldn't but ask it,

For in her hand she carried a broom.

Old woman, old woman, old woman, quoth I,

Where are you going to up so high?

To bruskh the cobwebs off the sky!

May I come with you?

Aye, by-and-by

　原詩ではおばあさんが掃除するのは空の蜘蛛の巣です。
