Kanji:

お慕い申し上げます
まごころ　捧げます
初めての気持ちなの
優しさくれたひと

君想ふ　幸せなこの瞬間（とき）が
どうかいつまでも続きますように
大切なものを守る乙女の祈り
清く正しく　さぁ精進しましょ

十六夜（いざよい）　月を待って
ひとり天窓に出る
出会った夕暮れの空
忘れじの温もり

黒髪にきゅっとリボンを結ぶ
鏡見るたび　想いつのらせる
一途な瞳で尽くす大和撫子
純情は誰にも負けませんわ

奥ゆかしい　ロマンスね

丘から見下ろす　今は穏やかな町
交わした約束　遠い風の中
矢絣（やがすり）の裾は　けして踏まないように
強く凜々しく　私　生きていく　（ゆく）

命も惜しくない
私の女道
けなげな横顔で
まっすぐ見つめてた
いとしいあのひとは
遥かな彼の国に
せつない想い出を
幾度も抱きしめるように


English:

I love you dearly.

I offer you my sincerity,

My first feelings of this sort

For the one who showed me kindness.

I think of you, praying that these happy moments

Might somehow continue on forever.

It is the prayer of a maiden who protects things important to her.

Now, I shall purely and justly devote myself to you.

I wait for the waning crescent moon

And go out to the skylight alone.

The evening sky of when we met,

The warmth I do not forget…

I tie my black hair tightly with a ribbon.

When I look in the mirror, my feelings are stirred.

For a perfectly, lovably feminine girl with earnest eyes,

Purity will not lose to anyone.

A modest romance…

I look down from the top of the hill. The town is quiet now.

The promise we exchanged in the distant wind…

Never stepping on the arrow feather-patterned hem of my clothes,

Strongly, with dignity, I live on.

Life is nothing to regret.

That is my ladylike path.

Your gallant face in profile

Made me stare straight ahead.

That person I hold dear

Is in that faraway land,

As through embracing

Painful memories countless times.
