Kimigayo

"Kimigayo" Japan National Anthem / Kimigayo

Kimigayo
To Chiyo to Yachiyo
Of rustling stone
Becoming a rock
Until the moss falls

May your time endure—
Through a thousand years, and eight thousand more.

Like tiny pebbles becoming mighty rocks,
Gently covered in moss, With peace, With time.
