Hatalmas szikla vlik,
S bebortja a moha. |
The national anthem of Japan is called Kimi ga Yo, "The Emperor's Reign." The words and their translation are:
May the Emperor's reign,
Continue for a thousand,
Eight thousand generations;
Until the pebbles,
Grow into boulders,
Lush with moss.
The words are actually from a waka style poem from Japan's Heian Period, about one thousand years ago. It was an Englishman, J. W. Fenton, that urged Japan to adopt a national anthem, and he wrote the original music for it in 1869. Imperial musicians later revised it into its present form.
