１、兎追いし彼の山
小鮒釣りし彼の川
夢は今も 廻りて
忘れがたき 故郷
２、いかにいます 父母
つつが無しや友がき
雨に風に つけても
思い出ずる 故郷
３、志を果して
何時の日にか 帰らん
山は青き 故郷
水は清き 故郷
MY COUNTRY HOME (Translated by Sadao Mazuka)
I dreamed, I was hunting in a mountain
And I was fishing there in a stream
Ah! I wonder where on earth that was?
Oh! That's my unforgettable country home
How are my father and my mother doing?
And how are my friends over there?
Always I remember that's far from here
Oh! That's my unforgettable country home
I'm sure I'll make my dreams come true
And then surely return to my country home
There are the most beautiful mountains
And the most clear streams, I've ever seen
