Текст песни IJN - Warship march with words

Both in defense and in attack, iron
Floating fortresses are our hope and support,
And these floating fortresses will certainly protect our
The country of the rising sun from all sides.
So go on the attack, iron ships,
On hostile states of Japan.
 
The smoke from the coal fires spreads like this
What seems like this sea dragon is flying
Cannon shots rumble like this
That it seems like thunder is booming
O ships cross the ocean and in overseas lands
Glorify the light of our country

If by the sea we leave
May the sea swallow us
If we leave the mountain
May the grass cover us.
O great sovereign
We will die at your feet
Do not look back.
