Marukaite Chikyuu (Japan)

Marukaite Chikyuu (まるかいて地球 日本版 Maru kaite Chikyū Nihon-ban, lit. "Draw a circle (it's the) Earth - Japan Edition") is the ending theme for the anime series Hetalia: Axis Powers. This alternate version of the song was rewritten to reflect the life and culture in Japan. This version was later used as the ending theme for episodes of the second season of the anime where Japan is the featured character of the episode. It is sung by Hiroki Takahashi in the voice of Japan.

Lyrics
Kanji= さぁさぁ父上　お酌は如何

もしもし母上　もしもし母上

昔に食べた肉じゃがの

あの味が忘れられないのです

まるかいて地球

まるかいて地球

まるかいて地球

日本と申します

まるかいて地球

じっとみて地球

ひょっとして地球

日本と申します

嗚呼　一筆で

見える　素晴らしい世界

白米は最高だ

天晴れだ

「礼儀礼節を重んじる　つつましやかな私も

たまには　陽気な歌を歌うのさ」

まるかいて地球

まるかいて地球

まるかいて地球

日本と申します

まるかいて地球

ハッとして地球

ふんぞりかえって地球

日本と申します

嗚呼　ひと煮込みで

泣ける　お袋の味

「しらたきは細めが良い」

晴れたら　日傘全開で

隠れみの

なぁなぁ兄上　鮪を頂戴

ついでに姉上　山葵を多めに

オイオイ祖父（おおじ）　平和を誓おう

ハイハイ坊や 「其方の為にもだ」

ぐいぐい父上　お酌は如何

もしもし母上　もしもし母上

昔に食べた肉じゃがの

あの味が忘れられないのです

暮らしの旨味は 春夏秋冬

まるかいて地球

まるかいて地球

まるかいて地球

日本と申します

嗚呼　一筆で

見える　素晴らしい世界

白米は最高だ

天晴れだ

嗚呼　世界中に

眠る　幸せのレシピ

醤油があれば 安心の

長旅だ

Nagatabi da! English = Come on Chichiue, would you like to have some sake?

Hello Hahaue, hello Hahaue,

I can't seem to forget the taste

Of that nikujaga I ate so long ago

Draw a circle, that's the Earth

Draw a circle, that's the Earth

Draw a circle, that's the Earth

My name is Japan

Draw a circle, that's the Earth

Stare a while, that's the Earth

Should that happen to be Earth

My name is Japan

Ah, a fabulous world,

That can be seen with a paintbrush

White rice is the best!

It's utterly splendid!

("While I emphasize modesty and courtesy,

someone humble like me can also sing cheerful songs.")

Draw a circle, that's the Earth

Draw a circle, that's the Earth

Draw a circle, that's the Earth

My name is Japan

Draw a circle, that's the Earth

Step back, that's the Earth

Lie on your back, that's the Earth

My name is Japan

Ah, in just one stew

A mother's cooking moves you to tears

("Thin konnyaku is better.")

On sunny days, I hide under

A parasol

Please Aniue, serve the tuna

After that, Aneue, I need more wasabi

Oi, oi, Ojii, let's make a pledge for peace

Yes, yes, you too, Bouya. "For its sake, you as well."

Come on Chichiue, Would you like to have more sake?

Hello Hahaue, hello Hahaue

I can't seem to forget the taste

Of that nikujaga I ate so long ago.

The savory flavors of life

Are found in all four seasons!

Draw a circle, that's the Earth

Draw a circle, that's the Earth

Draw a circle, that's the Earth

My name is Japan

Ah, a fabulous world

That can be seen with a paintbrush

White rice is the best!

It's utterly splendid!

Ah, a sleeping recipe of joy in the world

So long as there is soy sauce,

It'll be a peaceful trip!
