♫ FURUSATO ♫
(Birthplace/Hometown)

Composer: Tatsuyuki Takano
Lyrics: Teiichi Okano
Translation -- by me :)


Usagi oishi kano yama
兎追いしかの山
I chased rabbits in its mountains

Kobuna tsurishi kano kawa
こぶな釣しかの川
I fished for minnows in its rivers

Yume wa ima mo megurite
夢は今も回りて
Those dreams still return to me even now

Wasuregataki furusato.
忘れがたけ ふるさと
How I miss my hometown

iika ni imasu chichi haha
いいか に います父母
I wonder if my father and my mother are both doing okay

Tsutsuga nashi ya tomogaki
恙なしや友垣
I wonder if everything is alright with my old friends

Ame ni kaze ni tsukete mo
雨に風につけて も
When the rain falls, when the wind blows

Omoi izuru furusato
思いいずるふるさと
I remember my old home

Kokorozashi wo hatashite
心ざしを果して
When I achieve what I set out to do

Itsu no hi ni ka kaeran
いつの日にか帰らん
One of these days I will go home

Yama wa aoki furusato, mizu wa kiyoki furusato.
山はあおきふるさと, 水は清きふるさと
To my hometown where the mountains are verdant and the water is pure.

eprimo la mia solidarieta' al grande Popolo giapponese colpito da un avvenimento catastrofico senza uguali nella storia .................... ma la volonta e la dignita dei Giapponesi avranno il sopravvento e continueranno a lottare come sempre hanno fatto nel passato ( bomba atomica).Ieri per colpa dell'uomo, oggi per la forza della natura.
