| An island in the ocean, five basalt rocks.
|
| Bird nests and lichen, but the teacher said:
|
| Tatsu, Tatsu, young warrior Yamato, Tatsu, Tatsu,
|
| The emperor ordered us to leave a soldier here.
|
| Late in the autumn, the cruiser anchored at the rocks,
|
| The metallic voice in English said:
|
| Tazu, Tazu, army's gone, the war is over,
|
| Tazu, Tazu, your emperor surrendered, leave your rocks, gotta blow it!
|
| Tatsu only knows that this is the voice of the enemy,
|
| He did not understand a word, so everything is for sure.
|
| Banzai, Mikado-wa ka-tsu! |
| Banzai, Buntai-wa, tsu-ey!
|
| Tatsu, Tatsu, you're thirteen years old
|
| Tatsu, Tatsu, you are a little dragon.
|
| Forty solstices and rainy seasons,
|
| Tatsu waits for orders from the dead chiefs.
|
| Tatsu, Tatsu catches crabs in the bay
|
| Tatsu, Tatsu drinks water and looks into the rain mirrors.
|
| Tatsu, you have become completely gray-haired,
|
| Tatsu, you guard the smoke. |
