Ah!
When, when it all began (began) there was only chaos (chaos)
A world, a formless void (void), no order, no laws (laws)
Gods took their spears (spears), stirred the waters
From the swirling sea (sea) an island rose
Can you hear the voices
From the high plain of heaven?
From the Sun a ray of light
Embraced the earth for first time
And the gods of creation shed a tear in awe
From the Sun a ray of light
Embraced the Moon high in the sky
The dawn of the nation, the sign of the bright days to come! (Come!)
Through the aeons, the burden to carry
The keepers of order and harmony
Through the aeons, the burden to carry
The keepers of order and harmony
The divine justice
A child (child) born with flames (flames) a burning tragedy
Hiding in a cave (cave) is the grieving mother
Can you hear the voices (from the high plain of heaven?)
Rise Amaterasu!
From the Sun a ray of light
Embraced the earth for first time
And the gods of creation shed a tear in awe
From the Sun a ray of light
Embraced the Moon high in the sky
The dawn of the nation, the sign of the bright days to come!
From the Sun a ray of light
Embraced the earth for first time
And the gods of creation shed a tear in awe
From the Sun a ray of light
Embraced the Moon high in the sky
The dawn of the nation, the sign of the bright days to come! (Come!)
(Come!)
