Original lyrics
日の丸行進曲
一、
母の背中にちさい手で
振ったあの日の日の丸の
遠いほのかな思い出が
胸に燃え立つ愛国の
血潮の中にまだ残る
二、
梅に桜にまた菊に
いつも掲げた日の丸の
光仰いだ故郷（くに）の家
忠と考とをその門で
誓って伸びた健男児
三、
ひとりの姉が嫁ぐ宵（よい）
買ったばかりの日の丸を
運ぶ箪笥（たんす）の抽斗（ひきだし）へ
母が納めた感激を
今も思えば目がうるむ
四、
去年の秋よ強者（つわもの）に
召出（めしい）だされて日の丸を
敵の城頭高々と
一番乗りにうち立てた
手柄はためく勝ちいくさ
五、
永久（とわ）に栄える日本の
国の章（しるし）の日の丸が
光そそげば果てもない
地球の上に朝が来る
平和かがやく朝がくる

Hinomaru March
1,
On my mother's back with small hands,
I waved the Hinomaru flag that day.
The distant and faint memories,
the patriotic fervor burning in my chest,
still linger in my blood.
2,
Plum blossoms, cherry blossoms, and chrysanthemums,
Always raising the Hinomaru flag,
I gazed at its light in my homeland's house,
at the gate, pledging loyalty and thought,
a young boy who grew up.
3,
On the evening my older sister got married,
the newly bought Hinomaru,
Into the drawer of the chest to be carried,
the gratitude of my mother
Even now, when I recall it, my eyes become teary.
4,
In the autumn of last year, summoned as a strong one,
I raised the Hinomaru flag,
high up on the enemy's fortress walls,
the first to hoist it,
A glorious achievement in a victorious battle.
5,
Japan, eternally prosperous,
The emblem of the nation, the Hinomaru,
When it shines its light, it knows no end,
Morning arrives upon the Earth,
A morning that radiates with peace will come.
