Ojiisan served in World War I
Wore his uniform with pride
To proudly say, “I am American”
To soldiers who don't care
Shikata ga nai
Stepping into fairgrounds
Harmony in discord
Okaasans birth in stables
To babies born in dust
Shikata ga nai
Children pledge allegiance
To the flag with hands on hearts
Rejected by their country
Still happily they sing
Shikata ga nai
Surrounded by barbed wire
A village in a coop
Bullets shot from Towers
At bodies near the fence
Shikata ga nai
Otsukimi gathering
Rabbit lays down life
Beggar carries rabbit
To the harvest moon
Gaman
If you concentrate you can see it
The rabbit on the moon
