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.
