Bon Odori Night

Cheerful sounds
Filled the air
There were children
Running here and there

A lot of people went around
Lots of things to be found
Foods, drinks and lanterns
Hanging around town

As soon as the sun sets
More crowd started to fill
Gathering around the stage
Waiting for something

They gather in a circle
With fans in their hands
Drums beaten on the stage
And people started to dance

Everyone in yukatas
Ad other classic wears
Such an event that night
I will never forget

After all the walk and dance
I came to rest my feet
Took a spot and had a seat
Beside someone so sweet

She wore a purple yukata
With cherry blossom all around
Shyly she gave me the glance
And I replied with a smile

She went off for a walk
I only managed to feel
Sweet smell of her fragrance
Lingering around me

That night I met an angel
In the Bon Odori
Such a colourful event
I always wanted to be in

Fireworks flaring up the skies
And cheers all around
I gave myself a smile
I'll come again another time
