Poem/song: Teru-teru-bōzu

This is kind of a poem/song from Japan, who represents the special doll that would make the weather sunny and keep the rain away, it's a very beautiful poem (I think I just stick to calling it a poem).




Teru-teru-bōzu, teru bōzu
Ashita tenki ni shite o-kure
Itsuka no yume no sora no yo ni
Haretara kin no suzu ageyo
--
Teru-teru-bōzu, teru bōzu
Ashita tenki ni shite o-kure
Watashi no negai wo kiita nara
Amai o-sake wo tanto nomasho
--
Teru-teru-bōzu, teru bōzu
Ashita tenki ni shite o-kure
Sore de mo kumotte naitetara
Sonata no kubi wo chon to kiru zo'

Even Juvia from the anime Fariy tail got a Teru Teru Bozu doll


Some kind of translation (beware of mistakes!)

Teru-teru-bozu, teru bozu
Make tomorrow sunny
Like Heaven from a dream
If it become sunny, I'll give you a golden bell
--
Teru-teru-bozu, teru bozu
Make tomorrow sunny
If you make my wish come true
We'll drink a lot together 
--
Teru-teru-bozu, teru bozu
Make tomorrow sunny
but if the weather is cloudy and you cry
I will chop of your head
I found out that this poem is actually about a munk who promised some farmers to stop the rain, because of the weather ruined the crops. In the end the munk didn't get the sun to come so he got executed =/
