1. Miyo, shoto ni omoide no zettoki takaku hirugaeru. Toki koso kitare, rei ikka. Ah jyuni gatsu to ka asa, seijyoki mazu yaburetari. Kyokan sake tari shizumi tari. 2. Ano hi ryojyun no heisoku ni inochi sasageta fuso no chi wo tsuide kugutta shinjyu wan. Ah ichioku wa mina nakeri. Kaeranu goseki kuhashira no tama to kudakeshi ikusa gami.
3. Koru umi kara sekido no minami ni kakete nami banri. Kanki wa kiso seikai no Ah dento no umi no tami. Marei jaba oki sango kai. Eiran imaya kage mo nashi!
4. Mizuku kabaneto isagiyoku chirite haearu waka zakura. Miyo, sorayukaba kumo ni chiru. Ah soretsu no umi no washi! Bakudan daite taiatari. Mijin ni kudaku teki no fune.
5. Susumeba haruka indo yo. Seiki ha tatau ki ha sumite, hohoemu minami jujisei. Ah daitoa hikari sasu. Muteki no hokori kurogane no kike, modo no hata no kaze!
(English translation) 1. See traditional Z-flag flapping High in our masthead! The time has come, the order is there! Ah, on the morning of December 8, First Star Spangled Banner was torn, Next its big battleships were splited and sunk!
