Pon popopon, po ponponpon, “Pon! Chi!”
Pon popopon, po ponponpon, “Kan! Chi!”
Pon popopon, po ponponpon, “Pon! Chi!”
East, south, west, north, where should we go?
In the scenery of green and white
Days of peace flow gently
One more tile to complete a winning hand, still far away
Maybe just one more tile is enough
Climbing the slope with a handful of tiles
Feeling the Seto Inland Sea breeze, for some reason, it seeps in
“Pon! Kan! Chi!” Even if you don’t want to cry
“Pon! Chi! Ron!” It rings out involuntarily
Heavenly hand, earthly hand, small four winds, nation’s best
I want four concealed triplets more than an all-green hand
Greater three dragons than nine gates, it’s a dream
There’s nothing, no specific hand
But that’s fine, “Riichi! It’s a riichi!”
There’s nothing, absolutely nothing
Except for ramen, but you’re here, right here
That alone is happiness
I hope for a hidden bonus at least, “Yes, Ron!”
Pon popopon, po ponponpon, “Pon! Chi!”
Pon popopon, po ponponpon, “Chonbo!”
Pon popopon, po ponponpon, “Pon! Chi!”
East, south, west, north, where should we go?
Turning and rearranging the tiles
Days without a complete straight
One more tile to complete a winning hand, still far away
Is even one more tile too far?
Descending the slope after a bitter love
Always surrounded by the same players
“Pon! Kan! Chi!” Even if you don’t want to cry
“Pon! Chi! Ron!” It keeps ringing out
Heavenly hand, earthly hand, big four winds, nation’s best
I want four concealed triplets more than a tile-hogging hand
Greater three dragons than pure terminals, something I’ve never seen
There’s nothing, absolutely nothing
No discards, “None! None! Hey,”
It’s too dangerous, there’s nothing
Except for live tiles, but you’re here, right here
That alone is happiness
I want to avoid even a close call, “Yes, Ron!”
Pon popopon, po ponponpon, “Pon! Chi!”
Pon popopon, po ponponpon, “Kan! Chi!”
Pon popopon, po ponponpon, “Pon! Chi!”
Pon popopon, po pon, it’s a dream
There’s nothing, no specific hand
But that’s fine, “Riichi! It’s a riichi!”
There’s nothing, absolutely nothing
Except for ramen, but you’re here, right here
That alone is happiness
I hope for a hidden bonus at least, “Yes, Ron!”
Pon popopon, po ponponpon, “Pon! Chi!”
Pon popopon, po ponponpon, “Chonbo!”
Pon popopon, po ponponpon, “Pon! Chi!”
East, south, west, north, where should we go?
Pon popopon, po ponponpon
