Oh mountain of our eyes
What do you see?
The girl with the almond eyes
Bowing to thee
Immortal soldiers
Clear the path
Shake the almond tree
Oh mountain of our eyes
Oh hear our plea
Oh hear our plea
See the five finger lakes
Like a hand in blue
Climbing sideways up the pure
To get a glimpse of you
To get a glimpse of you
The great lake
The white shirt
Your white cloak
Divine divine
Oh mountain
Of mine
Oh Fuji-San
We're climbing
Into the blue
Into the mist
Into the bright
Into your light
Oh mountain of our eyes
We're calling you
Will you hear our cries?
What will the poor boy do?
What will the poor girl do?
Hey!
We're calling to you
Oh Fuji-San
Oh Fuji-San
Oh Fuji-San
Oh mountain of our eyes
What do you see?
The girl with the almond eyes
Shaking her tree
Shaking the almond tree
What do you see?
The girl with the almond eyes
Bowing to thee
Immortal soldiers
Clear the path
Shake the almond tree
Oh mountain of our eyes
Oh hear our plea
Oh hear our plea
See the five finger lakes
Like a hand in blue
Climbing sideways up the pure
To get a glimpse of you
To get a glimpse of you
The great lake
The white shirt
Your white cloak
Divine divine
Oh mountain
Of mine
Oh Fuji-San
We're climbing
Into the blue
Into the mist
Into the bright
Into your light
Oh mountain of our eyes
We're calling you
Will you hear our cries?
What will the poor boy do?
What will the poor girl do?
Hey!
We're calling to you
Oh Fuji-San
Oh Fuji-San
Oh Fuji-San
Oh mountain of our eyes
What do you see?
The girl with the almond eyes
Shaking her tree
Shaking the almond tree
