Since the heavens
and earth were parted,
it has stood, godlike,
lofty and noble,
the high peak of Fuji
in Suruga;
when I look up to see it
in heaven's high plain,
hidden is the light
of the sky-crossing sun,
invisible the glow
of the shining moon;
even the white clouds
fear to move over it,
and for all time
the snows are falling;
let us tell about it,
and pass on the word
of Fuji's high peak.

Going out on Tago Bay,
when I look
it is pure white;
on the high peak of Fuji
snow is falling.
