Lyrics

漢字 Romaji

うさぎ追いしかの山
こふな釣りしかの川
夢はいまもめぐりて
忘れがたきふるさと

いかにいます父母
つつがなしや友がき
雨に風につけても
重いいずるふるさと

志を果たして
いつの日にか帰らん
山は青きふるさと

水は清きふるさと

Usagi oishi kano yama
Kobuna tsurishi kano kawa
Yume wa ima mo megurite
Wasuregataki furusato

Ika ni imasu chichi haha
tsutsuganashi ya tomogaki
Ame ni kaze ni tsuketemo
Omoi izuru furusato

Kokorozashi wo hatashite
Itsu no hi ni ka kaeran
Yama wa aoki furusato

Mizu wa kiyoki furusato
