| ■Transliteration Let's pick up Hatsune-san this timeAnd toss her up into the air.
 But be careful, not to keep her up too long
 While it's fairly dangerous. Ala!
 Wait, let's stop it.
 Hhm, she's run away already
 Having heard of our conversation.
 I am thinking how to catch her.
 Neh, A! I hit a good idea now!
 Hatsune-san
 Is such a glutton woman. Drop
 And scatter this orange's (peels *)
 Here around. You
 Shall be a lure now
 And pretend to
 Pick them up.

                (retainer), their vassals and citizen dusted soot around this 
                day.There was a custom of tossing up of the fellow and other entertainment 
                by menservants and farmhands after the dusting soot in ladies' 
                chambre.
