Meaning of the lyrics:
Hanging on the wall is a scroll. It depicts the Seven Lucky Gods.
In the garden there are pine trees and bamboos [these symbolize good fortune], and cranes and turtles [these symbolize longevity] are playing gracefully here.
The crane's call is a celebratory sound. The first song I will sing this year is about Urashima Tarō.
I take out a silver cup and pour the sake from a golden sake bottle like a spring.
I wish you all a long life and want everyone to drink it.
