Track 6: "Remember Kobe (Kobe Omoidasu)"

I have spent time in Japan before. Therefore, when the Kobe earthquake hit the news, I was very moved.

Remember Kobe (Kobe Omoidasu)

© 2007 Michele Fairbairn

The whole world
Was in shock that day,
The day the great earthquake
Shook
Lovely Kobe . . .

Itsumo omoidasu.
There was nothing that
Anyone could do.
The Kobe men and women
Were very brave.
The little children
They rushed to save.

Strong Kobe men
Did without.
“Give the water to the women and children first!”
They did shout,
As the earth did shake
From the great
Earthquake.

Abunai!
Abunai!
Abunai!

Abunaiyo!
Abunaiyo!
Abunaiyo!

Oh,
Gambatte!
Remember Kobe.
Oh,
Gambatte!
Remember Kobe.

Itsumo omoidasu
Remember Kobe.
Itsumo
Itsumo
Omoidasu . . . .

Itsumo omoidasu.
There was nothing that
Anyone could do.
The Kobe men and women
Were very brave.
The little children
They rushed to save.
