"Ii Yu Dana" is one of a series of 52 songs that were released in the 1960s to represent one of Japan's 45 prefectures, all of which were written by Naga Rokusuke and Izumi Taku, and performed by Japanese four-man chorus group Duke Aces. This song in particular represents the Gunma Prefecture. A shortened cover of it appears as a playable song in Donkey Konga 3 JP.

Lyrics[edit]

Japanese lyrics Romaji lyrics English translation

いい湯だな いい湯だな
湯気が天井から
ポタリと背中に
つめてエな つめてエな
ここは北国 登別の湯

いい湯だな いい湯だな
誰が唄うか
八木節が
いいもんだ いいもんだ
ここは上州 草津の湯

Ii yu dana, ii yu dana
Yuge ga tenjō kara
Potari to senaka ni
Tsumete ena tsumete ena
Koko wa kitaguni Noboribetsu no yu

Ii yu dana, ii yu dana
Dare ga utau ka
Yakibushi ga
Ii monda ii monda
Koko wa Jōshū Kusatsu no yu

What a nice bath, what a nice bath
Steam is coming down from the ceiling
Dropping onto my back
It's so cold, it's so cold
This is the hot springs of Noboribetsu in the north

What a nice bath, what a nice bath
Who's singing?
It's a Yagibushi dance
It's so good, it's so good
This is the hot springs of Kusatsu in Jōshū
