Mikans are actually slightly different than oranges. They are very orange-like, but they're grown in Japan. I guess they are a little bit more like mandarin oranges than they are regular oranges. So that's why I didn't translate "mikan". The place they refer to, "Ehime", is a Japanese prefecture found on the northern part of the island Shikoku. Apparently their mikans are the best!

There are many mikans
But there is only one Ehime mikan
When you eat an Ehime mikan
You eat a farmer's love
Some throw away mikan peels
You can't throw the peels away
When you get warm from getting into a bath
It's comfortable
When you heart calms, there's one in the world
Flying over the world, the Ehime mikan
Mikan, mikan, mikan
Mikan, mikan, mikan
Mikan, mikan, mikan
Mikaan
Ehime mikans are the best in the world
Feel the mikans in your body
Some handle mikans without respect
If you do that to a mikan, you should die
Houses without mikans on the table
Are losing the heart of Japan
Regain the heart of Japan
Regain it
If you squeeze a mikan, you get orange juice
Orange juice is the water of life!
Mikan, mikan, mikan
Mikan, mikan, mikan
Mikan, mikan, mikan
Mikaan
Everyone drink the heart of Ehime
If you eat mikans, you're saved
The golden fruit won't be defeated by oranges
Orange juice is the water of life!
Mikan, mikan, mikan
Mikan, mikan, mikan
Mikan, mikan, mikan
Mikaan
Mikan, mikan, mikan
Mikan, mikan, mikan
Mikan, mikan, mikan
Mikaan
