Text: English translation and original Japanese

38. From the Hills in the East Around 1874, Oyasama used to sing this song to Herself: The moon rising from the hills in the east, Like pushing a cart, or like a water wheel, Rumbling, rumbling, rumbling. Its melody was said to be the same as that of "Takai yama kara" (From a high mountain).

三八　東山から 明治七年頃、教祖は、よく、次のような歌を口ずさんでおられた、という。 「東山からお出やる月は さんさ小車おすがよに いよさの水車でドン、ドン、ドン」 節は、「高い山から」の節であった。
