For the first time in my life, I’m looking across the skyline
Thinking of the children that have died so unexpectedly
As they all have died before me, so shall I follow
There is nothing left but to commit to my destiny
Don’t grieve for me, my love, it has always been my fate
to die for my fatherland
I’ve summoned the courage with all my inner might
and I will go down with pride
For the first and last time, I’ll strike down for our nation
Give my kind regards to our neighbors and family
For I've been given the order to give my life for you
so that our country can still go down in history
Worship! Praise me!
All that is left is to carry out the duties for which I’ve been trained
and to fulfill the Imperial mandate
With this I give you my farewell
But do not worry, I’ll meet you again at the Yasukuni shrine
We continue to live with the souls of the fallen heroes of war..
With this I give you my farewell
But do not worry, I’ll meet you again at the Yasukuni shrine
For the last time in my life I’m looking across the skyline
Ready to pass on with honor and dignity
As my comrades have gone before me, so shall I follow
There is nothing left but to press on and fulfill my destiny
