School Song

Here's the Wadayama HS song as gloriously and poetically translated by me [with plenty of help from Matsuda sensei]:

A common mountain in the dawn light
The tree buds comepetitively send out a rising fragrance
We birds unfold our wings
As day breaks, we fly off into the distance
We flock together in our hometown
With a strong spirit of learning, we will look to the future

With the season's passing, the mountain is green
We hear the sounds of the river, the voice of the wind
With open arms, we young trees reach our branches
Now, we willingly send out a sweet smell
We support each other in this village
With a strong spirit of learning, we will polish our knowledge.


And you should see the less poetic version!
