The Japanese folk song from Aomori is all about the changing seasons and it's affect on the mud lark and the singing frog. Summer and Spring being times that are playful where they are happy and free. Winter being cold and full of ice takes a toll on their 'heaven' or environment. While Autumn's changing leaves lead them to realize their world is on 'fire' and winter is coming. The poem goes as follows:
When summer comes,
The paddy pools grow warm
The mud lark and the singing frog
Are happy, are happy
Thinking they're in bath.
When winter comes,
The paddy pools are filmed with ice,
The mud lark and the singing frog
Must think their heaven has stretched
Has stretched and grown above.
When spring comes
There's water in the paddy pools
The mud lark and the singing frog
Are happy, are happy
Thinking they're in the sea.
When autumn comes,
The hills and dales turn red
The mud lark and the singing frog
Craning their necks above,
Must think of the hills are on fire.
