希望に燃えて
I face the raging waves,
I face the raging waves,
怒濤に向い
And though I may be destitute
たとい貧しき身なりとも
Though others may laugh at
人が笑おが
Or ridicule me,
あざけよが
I will endure with fortitude
じっとこらえて
Just watch me succeed!
今に見ろ

I exhort myself:“First work hard,
まずは働け
To the full extent of your youth.
若さの限り
Though some may slight you,
なかには侮る者もあろ
Always wear a smile.
されどニッコリ
Heart aflame,
心は燃えて
Advance strong and true
強く正しく
Along your chosen path.”
わが途進め
Smiling brightly,
Serenely,
At the arduous road ahead,
Today, again,
I will advance--
Gazing up at the sky,
At the summit
Of a hope-filled future.
苦難の道を
悠々と
明るく微笑み
大空仰ぎゃ
見ゆる未来の
希望峰
ぼくは進むぞ
また今日も
