Abandon affectionI’ve cast aside all worldly love
I pledge to my swordI’ve sworn my life to my blade;
It’s the strength of determinationit’s the power of my resolve
Built on cold stoneforged upon the unyielding stone.

That’s in my waythat dares to stand in my path,
The spirit of us warriorscarrying the soul of us warriors
In every thrust we givewithin every strike we deliver.

And now i knowand now I’ve finally realized it
In the storm of sakurawithin this whirlwind of cherry blossoms ‘Sakura’.

To our home japanfor the sake of our homeland, Japan,
We’ll dedicate our soulswe’ll offer up our very souls
And our splattering gutsand our life’s blood spilled in honor.
In the color of the sunBeneath the crimson hue of the sun,
We’re savagewe’re truly ruthless,
