In the movie “Mada yo” the characters sing a Children’s folk song that I really liked:

Lyrics:
出た出た 月が (deta deta tsuki ga)
It’s out, It’s out, The Moon is out
まるいまるい まんまるい (ma-ru-i ma-ru-i man-marui
It’s round, It’s round, Perfectly round
盆のような 月が (bon no yoo na tsuki ga)
The moon seems like a lantern (O-bon- lantern festival)
隠れた 雲に (kakureta kumo ni)
hidden by the clouds
黒い黒い 真っ黒い (kuroi kuroi ma-kuroi)
Black, Black, Pitch Black
墨（すみ）のような 雲に (sumi no yoo na kumo ni)
Clouds black as ink
また出た 月が (mata deta tsuki ga)
The moon is still out
まるいまるい まんまるい (marui marui man-marui)
Round, Round, Perfectly round
盆のような 月が (ban no yoo na tsuki ga)
The moon seems like a lantern
A simple song that I hope you like as much as I do…
