Japan National Anthem Lyrics

Japan

Kimigayo

(His Majesty's Reign)



Latin Transliteration

Kimi gayo wa

Chiyo ni yachiyo ni

Sazare ishi no

Iwao to nari te

Koke no musu made



English:

Thousands of years of happy reign be thine;

Rule on, my lord, till what are pebbles now

By age united to mighty rocks shall grow

Who's venerable sides the moss doth line.
