Arajuku Primary School
武蔵野の雲ゆうゆうと
Musashino's clouds leisurely
光を抱いて 流れゆく
Hug the light by streaming across the sky
豊かな心 伸びゆくいのり
Abundant spirit stretched to pray
白い校舎に あふれる声に
White school building overflows with voices
はばたけ明日 新宿小学校
Tomorrow flaps with wing
初雁の町 川越の
First wild goose's village Kawagoe's
城南に咲く 花に似て
South castle flowers in bloom resemble
やさしい瞳 鍛える体
Friendly eye trained body
実る努力に 誇りの胸に
Great effort bears fruit great pride of the chest
はばたけ明日 新宿小学校
秩父よ富士よ はればれと
Chichibu and Fuji cheerfully
見上げる希望 大時計
Admire respect wish is a great time
はげましあって 今この時を
The time to encourage is now
学ぶ窓辺に みどりの庭に
Learning by the window green garden.
はばたけ明日 新宿小学校
Leads into future Arajuku Elementary School
I initially thought this would easier than the Middle School but on closer inspection its just as complicated any thoughts how to fix this some what dysfunctional translation?
