English translation
The way the river runs on
The way the waves undulate
Glowing with brilliance
Going on endlessly
I want to live like the river
Under the vast sky
On this green planet
Wholeheartedly turned toward the sun
Standing tall upon this earth
Like a blooming flower
The brilliance scatters
Like this tiny flower
People live on
As the burning blaze does
As the vanishing embers of the torch do
Each living out their own lifetime
Until that time when their flame dies
I want to live wholeheartedly
I want to live wholeheartedly
Japanese
流れゆく川のように
揺れる波のように
輝いてはきらめき合い
絶え間なくすすんでゆく
川のように生きたい
広い空の下
緑の地球の上
太陽へ力強く
大地の上たたずんで
咲いている花のように
輝いては散ってゆく
この小さな花のように
人は生きてゆく
燃え上がる炎も
消えてゆく燈も
それぞれに生きる人生
燃え尽きるその時まで
力強く生きたい
力強く生きたい
