We could not look upon our dear ones going,

Our eyes would burn, our hearts would yearn,

But that we’re comforted in knowing

We shall watch when they return.

Chorus;

“Good-bye, Ban, we’re lending you;

Good-bye, dear Kiku-san, we’re sending you

But for a little space, then turn your gentle face

Toward Pussy-Town, where love awaits.

Here we’ll live in joy and peace,
