Sometimes
I feel that you are not so far away
Though you live beyond reach
The cloud-splitting light is your charming visage
The sense of goodness
Is in
Where the sunlight reaches and where I imagine
The land you love with all your heart

Sometimes
I feel that you are in my heart
I've always lived here
The twinkling stars are my messages
Yearning and longing
For
Where the moonlight reaches and where I cherish
The land I love with all my heart

Look
There in the field
The butterflies and dragonflies fly at will
The ancestral tablets sway to the rhythm
Of sweats dripping down foreheads in the field
Good harvests and peace
Make the hometown all the more beautiful
Even the buried moat sings songs full of joy

No matter where you live
No matter which language you speak
The sun works just as hard
The moon and the stars still hold things dear
The verses born from the land
Are in our hearts
