Yasuragi yo

Inochi komete
Inoru warera no
Kono hitofushi no
Aware ni medete

Oh peace, oh light
Hasten back to us
May we live without destruction
May we look to tomorrow with hope
May peace and light return to us
Our hearts are filled with prayer
This we pray

Hear our song
And have pity on us
May we live without destruction
May we look to tomorrow with hope
