Romanized Lyrics

Iro hani hoheto chiri nuru wo

Nagai rekishi no naka ni wa

hibi keikenchi wo age ganbatte

Sugoi iro desu

taberaremasen demo moratte shimau watashi

Wakai hito ni wa tsuite ikenai

Original Lyrics

いろはにほへとちりぬるを

日のいずる国ジパング

長い歴史の中には

引きこもっていた時もある

みなさんよりは

うんと爺さん東洋に浮かぶ私

アメリカさんの無理難題に

日々経験値をあげ頑張って

すごい色です

食べられませんでももらってしまう私

若い国にはついていけない

そんなことを思う日もある

しかし武士の魂だけは

忘れてはいないのです

小型化なら任せてください

色もそれぞれご用意してます

二次元なら体汚れません

心は少し汚れますが

いろはにほへとちりぬるを

日のいずる国ジパング

国を開いた途端に

驚きました激変で

洋服靴に力の限り！

でもすぐ慣れてしまう私

はっきりしろと言われますが

人よりずっと考えていて

だからYesとNoだけは

語りつくせものです

アレンジなら任せてください

カレーはパンにもご飯にも合います

屈辱にはとても耐えられません

かくなる上は切腹です...あら？

この海の上には多様な国あって

重んじていたこともクツガエル

花は匂えど散ってゆきます

月は満ちたら欠けゆくものです

四季の移りの香り豊かな

私はこの国が好きです

いろはにほへとちりぬるを

日のいずる国ジパング

English Lyrics

In my long history
There were times when I withdrew into myself
Compared to everyone else
I am very much an old man, floating in the Orient

To America-san's unreasonable demands
I raise my experience points and do my best every day
The color is incredible
I cannot eat it, but I end up receiving it anyway

I cannot keep up with young nations (people)
There are days when I think such things
But my warrior spirit, at least,
I have not forgotten

If it's miniaturization, please leave it to me
I am also offering one in each color
If it's two-dimensional, then the body will not be tainted
But the heart will be slightly tainted

I-ro-ha-ni-ho-he-to chi-ri-nu-ru-wo
Land of the rising sun, Jipangu

As soon as I opened the country
I was astonished by the sudden changes
Western clothing and shoes, to the best of my ability!
But I immediately grew accustomed to them

("If I could have just ten years")

I am told to make myself clearer but
I think much more than others and
Therefore with just "yes" and "no"
I cannot say all that I would like to say.

If it's an arrangement, please leave it to me
Curry goes well with both bread and rice
Disgrace is extremely unbearable
Since it has come to this, I will commit seppuku... Oh?

Upon this ocean, I met a variety of countries and
The things I had held in such high esteem were completely overturned*

"In spring, it is the dawn; in summer, it is the night
In autumn, it is the evening; in winter, it is the early morning"

("Beneath the god who illuminates the sky
Our history, let us weave it for another thousand years")

Flowers are fragrant but they fall and scatter
When the moon is full it proceeds to wane
The fragrance of the four seasons' change is rich and varied
I like* this country

I-ro-ha-ni-ho-he-to chi-ri-nu-ru-woLand of the rising sun, Jipangu
