Zemlja Jamato, mnogo gora u njoj je
Language: Serbian (Српски)  after the Japanese (日本語) 
Zemlja Jamato, mnogo gora u njoj je,
al' mi najbliža nebeska gora Kagu.
Na nju se popeh, celu zemlju sagledah:
dole na polju diže se dim s ognjišta,
dalje na moru uzleću galebovi.
Ah, kako je lepo ostrvo Akizu,
ova zemlja Jamato!
