信濃の国(長野県)

信濃の国は十州に
境連ぬる国にして
聳(そび)ゆる山はいや高く
流るる川はいや遠し
松本伊那佐久善光寺
四つの平(たいら)は肥(ひよく)沃の地
海こそなけれ物(もの)さわに
万(よろ)ず足らわぬ事(こと)ぞなき
四方(よも)に聳(そび)ゆる山々は
御嶽乗鞍駒ヶ岳(おんたけのりくらこまたがたけ)
浅間は殊(こと)に活火山
いずれも国の鎮(しず)めなり
流れ淀(よど)まずゆく水は
北に犀(さい)川千曲(ちくま)川
南に木曽川天竜川
これまた国の固(かた)めなり
木曽の谷には真木茂(まきしげ)り
諏訪(すわ)の湖(うみ)には魚(うお)多し
民のかせぎも豊かにて
五穀(ごこく)の実(みの)らぬ里やある
しかのみならず桑とりて
蚕飼(こが)いの業(わざ)の打ちひらけ
細きよすがも軽(かろ)からぬ
国の命(いのち)を繋(つな)ぐなり
尋(たず)ねまほしき園原(そのはら)や
旅のやどりの寝覚(ねざめ)の床(とこ)
木曽の桟(かけはし)かけし世も
心してゆけ久米路橋(くめじばし)
くる人多き筑摩(つかま)の湯
月の名にたつ姨捨山(おばすてやま)
しるき名所と風雅士(みやびお)が
詩歌(しいか)に詠(よみ)てぞ伝えたる
旭(あさひ)将軍義仲(よしなか)も
仁科(にしな)の五郎信盛(のぶもり)も
春台太宰(しゅんだいだざい)先生も
象山佐久間(ぞうざんさくま)先生も
皆此(この)国の人にして
文武(ぶんぶ)の誉(ほまれ)たぐいなく
山と聳(そび)えて世に仰ぎ
川と流れて名は尽(つき)ず
吾妻(あづま)はやとし日本武(やまとたけ)
嘆(なげ)き給(たま)いし碓氷山(うすいやま)
穿(うが)つ隧道(トンネル)二十六
夢にもこゆる汽車の道(みち)
一筋(ひとすじ)に学びなば
昔の人にや劣(おと)るべき
古来山河(こらいさんが)の秀(ひい)でたる
国は偉人のある習(なら)い

Country of Shinano (Nagano Prefecture)

The country of Shinano spans ten provinces,
A land of many neighboring borders,
Its towering mountains rise high,
And its flowing rivers run far.
Matsumoto, Ina, Saku, and Zenkoji,
Four fertile plains where the harvest thrives.
Though it has no sea, it abounds in wealth,
Lacking nothing for its people.
The mountains that tower on every side,
Ontake, Norikura, and Komagatake,
With Asama, an active volcano,
Are the guardians of our land.
The waters that flow without ceasing,
The Sai River and the Chikuma River to the north,
The Kiso River and the Tenryu River to the south,
Are the fortifications of our country.
In the Kiso Valley, timber stands tall,
And in Lake Suwa, fish abound.
The people's livelihoods are prosperous,
No village lacks the fruits of the earth.
Moreover, with mulberry trees and
The flourishing industry of sericulture,
Even the smallest contributions are not insignificant,
Sustaining the life of our country.
The fields of Sonohara, a sight to behold,
And the inns of Nezame, a traveler's haven.
The Kiso Bridges, built in ancient times,
Cross them with care, on the road to Kumēji Bridge.
The hot springs of Tsukuba, frequented by many,
And Mount Obasute, renowned in moonlit verse.
These renowned landmarks, poets and aesthetes,
Have immortalized in their songs and writings.
The brave general Yoshinaka,
And the valiant Ninshin of Nishina,
The erudite scholar Shundai,
And the renowned educator Zōzan Sakuma,
All hailed from this land,
Their literary and martial prowess unmatched,
Standing tall as mountains, their names renowned.
And the rivers that flow, their fame endures,
Yamato Takeru, the legendary hero,
Lamented at Mount Usui,
Twenty-six tunnels pierce its heart,
A railway's path through dreams.
If we devote ourselves to learning,
Can we surpass the ancients?
Since ancient times, lands with majestic mountains and rivers,
Have nurtured extraordinary individuals.
