She threw her doll from Tenmabashi Bridge The baby on my back threw her doll It floated away in the river She threw her doll from the bridge I thought she would cry, but she just waved Byebye, byebye There's a candy shop in Dotonbori It's closing time, we can't buy anything "But I want candy!" cried my five-year-old Throwing herself down on the ground in her red kimono She cried and threw a tantrum Buy it! Buy it! Naniwa Osaka changes daily But the Sumiyoshi Dance never changes Someday my daughter will grow up And when she's married and has a daughter of her own That daughter will be so cute as she dances What a wonderful place, what a wonderful place
