【国民歌】日の丸行進曲

Lyrics ———————— On mother's back with tiny hands Waving the Hinomaru on that day Distant yet faint memories In the fervent patriotism burning in my heart Still linger within the flow of blood Among plum, cherry, and chrysanthemum Always hoisting the Hinomaru Gazing at the light of my hometown With loyalty and reverence at its gate Sworn and grown into valiant youths On the eve of a sister's wedding Placing the brand-new Hinomaru Into the drawer of the chest she carries The excitement mother contained Still brings tears to my eyes now Last autumn, summoned by the strong Hoisting the Hinomaru high On the enemy's towering castle walls Claiming victory as the first to ascend Glory in the triumphant battle Eternally flourishing Japan With the national emblem of the Hinomaru As its light shines forth endlessly Dawn breaks upon the Earth Bringing a morning gleaming with peace
