Adogawa Junior High School Song

 

Adogawa Junior High School, like most junior high schools in Japan, has a school song.  The song is sung at the entrance ceremony, the closing ceremony, graduation, and at special school events.  Below is a link to the lyrics (in Japanese).  You can also listen to the song if you want.

 

Adogawa Junior High School Song in Japanese

 

There is also an English translation of the song below.  The translation was done by Cadmus Kyrala, the once ALT of Kutsuki-cho, Takashima-shi, who now works in Nagahama.  Thanks Cadmus!

 

 

The plovers linger at the place where the Ado River flows along,

the pure water like a mirror.
Let's engage the path of learning.

The smell of Fujinami where their purple patches bloom.
Take to heart the study of wisdom and embrace the path of righteousness.

The moon sets behind Takashima mountain and leaves a world of only stars,
Let's strive to make our hearts the same, bright and strong.
