The lyrics go, "Sacchan's name is really Sachiko but since she's just a little girl, they call her Sacchan for short."
"Sacchan really likes bananas, but she's just a little girl so she can only eat half."
“She’s a bit sad.”
Sacchan is going far away, really far away. We’ll miss her much.”
Sacchan was on her way to her grandmother's house to show off the new dress that her mother had sewn her. On the way, her mother stopped at a fruit stand to buy her a banana, her most favorite fruit in the world.
They came across a railroad track and waited for the train to pass by. A young boy who was not paying attention ran his bike into Sacchan. Sacchan was shoved into the tracks and the train came and took her away.
On hot summer evenings, it is said that you can hear a little girl's voice singing her song and smell the slight fragrance of bananas.
On hot summer evenings, it is said that if you are riding a bicycle at that railroad crossing, your tire will get caught in the tracks.
On hot summer evenings, you may slip and fall as you cross the tracks as if something slippery, like the peel from a banana, lying on the road.
It is said that if you stare hard enough at those tracks, you will see a faint image of a very little girl, holding half a banana.
