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.

To understand this saying you need to understand what a lark is. A lark is a small European songbird which makes its nest in summer in open fields. To attract a mate and to defend its territory, the male lark sings a beautiful, loud, happy sounding, trilling song. It does this by flying high above its nest so, so high that it is difficult to spot the bird even though it is making this lovely noise. Thus as you hear a lark on nice hot summer days in rolling open country, the sound is associated with summer and happiness. Thus the expression 'happy as a lark' describes someone 'in their element' perhaps singing away to themselves and obviously very contented with what they are doing.
