(Grif of the mother,
Whose beloved child was drawn to heaven,
Will never, forever, be forgotten !
Even after she breathes her last breath.)

1

What a cruel, what a sad !
A girl in front of me is my daughter?
However, the voice she answered
Was a familiar and a lovely one
When I called daugther's name to her.

(Shizuyo Honji, lyricist)

2

What a pity !
That My daughter fell prey to the ravages of war,
To die in buds just before blooming.

(Chieko Fukuhara, lyricist)

3

Never forget the anger of the restless spirit,
Writhing in agony on a burning midsummer day,
Beyond human endurance to die a sacrificial death.

(Yukimi Matsuda, lyricist)

4

Peace has been achieved;
At the sacrifice of precious lives,
Let's get together to protect peace for tomorrow,
Let's get together to pray for the souls and peace.

(Masaaki Minata, lyricist)
