Choshu SEVEN

Oidemase, See the green, taste the clean
Running water, breathe the air
Feel the dreams of the Meiji Restoration here in
Choshu, Choshu, Choshu　We can change the future, revolutionary.

Come on down to the west of Honshu
With wondrous mountains, oceans so blue
Hear the sounds of the songbirds echoing in the air
The local forests spring into view
As citron blossoms rise to greet you　Good morning.

Follow those yellow guardrails　As we head along the trail
Straight to the shore,
crashing emerald waves and sand glistening white
There's a lighthouse by our side　Tsunoshima's brilliant pride
As we gaze upon the shooting stars that streak cross the sky.

We can see our hopes from the past, moving fast,
heading into the future
Unabashed, determination and passion drive us on in
Choshu, Choshu, Choshu　Accepting that it's not a weakness
One of many things I “buchi” love about our home
Enjoy the panoramic scenery　Aboard the SL Yamaguchi
As it chugs down the tracks　From the caves of Shuhoudou
To the boundless Karst Plateau
Mysteries and adventures to discover as we go.

Arigatou, to the green and the clean　Running water and the air
Daily joys that we share as the seasons change here in
Choshu, Choshu, Choshu Shiawasemasu, happiness is the key.

Watch the waves, gently lap on the shore of the Seto
Inland Sea, reflecting our empathy
When weves crash, on the coast, of the rough Sea of Japan
They reflect, perseverance through adversity, intensity.

Oidemase, See the green, taste the clean Running water,
breathe the air
Feel the dreams of the Meiji Restoration here in
Choshu, Choshu, Choshu We can change the future, revolutionary.
