Ryukyu, land of the sacred Omoro soshi
Will become the final great battlefield of the Greater East Asian War
The enemy is gathering his suengui for a big blow,
The lovely mountains and valleys of these island jewels,
In the green grasslands of Manzamo, the crimson of deigo flowers,
Will be poured a cataract of violence.
Ryukyu — in all sincerity the carotid artery of Japan,
Everything will occur here, everywhere here will coalesce
Defend Ryukyu, victory in Ryukyus
All the Japanese in all of Japan!
Give your all for Ryukyu!
The enemy will spare no sacrifice,
Our holy opportunity has arrived
All the Japanese in all of Japan!
Stand up and send your blood to the Ryukyus!
Ah, descendants of Nabi in Onna, comrades in blood!
Crouch down in the shade of palm leaves
Avoid the bullets, put out the fires of war,
Go forth bravely and utterly destroy our evil enemy!
