Remember me everytime you see the dark
Remember me everytime you see the light.
Today marks the twentieth years of soar,.
Never ending enrollment days of war
Of military life in the battle field!
Waiting for death , the sooner the better !
In lonely cold mountains of the gory death city,
I seek no war, but does that really matter ?,
The existence of the lives of dreary!

Touching the depth of hearts!

Let the friendship flow very tall!
Just as a mother loves her only child,
Let us love all man-kind,
Beyond all religions, colors and creeds,
Spreading the peace and its seeds!

Ne uchun titratding, bu go’zal erni?
Tabiat to’fonni keldi bosingga
Er qa’hri titradi sening o’lkangda
Ollohdan tilayman senga bardoshni
Boshing omon bo’lsin Yapon do’stlarim
G’am chekma , hamisha do’stlaring hamdard
Bardam bo’l , tilaklar bo’lgaydir madad

Kial vi tremigis tiun cxi belan teron?
Tajfunon faligis natur'sur via kap'
Ektremis la tero en via land'
Ni petas Dion doni fortojn,
Kaj sanon al niaj japanaj amikoj.
Ne malgxoju, cxiuj viaj amikoj

Niaj elkoraj bondeziroj helpu
al vi superi la malfacilon.

Our heart- felt wishes will help you
overcome your misfortune.

It seems to be crying and maybe angry
You cannot see it but is it OK to let it be?
