lyrics

From four hundred states assemble
Riders in thousands,
And peril looms over our land
In the summer of the fourth year of the Koan Era.

Fearless
Men of Kamakura
A true martial spirit
Reveal to the world with a thunderous roar.

The barbarians of the West -
Who are they? A Mongol host,
Arrogant and insolent.

No sky shall be shared with them!
In loyalty we extend our arms
And for the nation
Test our swords.

To the waters of Tsukushi,
Through waves we advance

Those brave warriors,
Who do not return,
Fall and become the guardians of the land.

The Gods of Hakozaki,
Where your vows were heard,
Know well the spirit of Yamato.

Heavens grew angry, and the ocean's
Billows were in tempest tossed.
They who came to work us evil,
Thousands of the Mongol host,
Sank and perished in the sea deapths,
Of that horde survived but three.
Swift the sky was clear, and moonbeams
Shone upon the Ghenkai Sea.
