Tears for Hiroshima (Japanese and  Latin)

That flash of light!
How could I ever forget!
In a moment,
thirty thousand people vanished!

Bring back the fathers Bring back the mothers 

Bring back the elderly Bring back the children 

Bring me back

Bring back the human beings I once knew

For as long as there are human beings, 

a world of human beings,
bring back peace, unbroken peace.

The day of wrath
shall consume the world in ashes
That day is one of weeping

Tears for Hiroshima.
