Lyric

あおげばとうとしわが師の恩

教えの庭にもはやいくとせ

思えばいと疾しこの年月

今こそわかれめ いざさらば

たがいにむつみし 日ごろの恩

わかるる後にもやよわするな

身をたて名をあげやよはげめよ

今こそわかれめ いざさらば

朝夕なれにしまなびの窓

ほたるのともしびつむ白雪

わするるまぞなきゆく年月

今こそわかれめ いざさらば

Looking up, how noble is the grace of our teachers

How many years have passed in this garden of learning?

When I think back, these years have passed so swiftly

Now is the time to part; come, let us say farewell

The kindness of the days we spent in friendship

Even after we part, oh, do not ever forget

Make your way in the world, make a name for yourself, and strive hard

Now is the time to part; come, let us say farewell

The window of learning we grew used to, morning and evening

The light of fireflies and the piled white snow

These passing years I will never forget

Now is the time to part; come, let us say farewell
