Lo! above the eastern sea clearly dawns the sky;
Glorious and bright the sun rideth up on high.
Spirit pure of heaven and earth fills the hearts of all,
Hope abounding springs--O sweet Isles Imperial.
Yonder where the clouds of morn shed a radiant glow,
Fuji Mountain, Nippon's pride, rears its crown of snow.
Fair of form without a blot nobly doth it stand,
And unshakable--a true symbol of our land.

He who reigns above in power and in virtue dight,
Sovereign of unbroken line, is our changeless light.
We will follow--one and all loyal subjects, we--
Follow Him aright: fulfil our great destiny!
Onward, east, west, north and south. Over land and main!
Let us make the world our home, call to fellow-men
Everywhere on the four seas, let us build the tower
of just peace--let our ideal bloom forth like a flower!

Though again and yet again trials we may meet,
Over us may tempests roar, storms upon us beat,
Resolute in heart and mind justice we defend.
But one road we know to gain triumph in the end.
Hark! Far from the hallowed past of the Age Divine
Sounds our fathers' measured tread. O come fall in line!
As we, sons and daughters, march, shines our path before.
Glory be unto our land ever, evermore!
