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 |
