In Japan Beyond

Do you not hear the sighing of a willow in Japan, (In Japan beyond, in Japan beyond) In the voice of a wind searching the Sun lost, For the old faces with memory in eyes ?

Do you not hear the sighing of a bamboo in Japan, (In Japan beyond, in Japan beyond) In the voice of a sea urging with the night, For the old dreams of a twilight tale ?

Do you not hear the sighing of a pine in Japan (In Japan beyond, in Japan beyond) In the voice of a river in quest of the Unknown, For the old ages with gold in heart ?

Do you not hear the sighing of a reed in Japan, (In Japan beyond, in Japan beyond) In the voice of a bird who long ago flew away, For the old peace with velvet-sandalled feet ?
