School Mahoutokoro

Lyrics

Verse 1) Beneath Mount Fuji where the dragons dream, stands the school in crimson and golden gleam. Cherry blossoms dance on the whispering wind, Mahoutokoro, where the ancient magic begins. Students in kimonos with bamboo wands so fine, learn the old ways of kami and sacred shrine. Yokai slip softly through the hidden halls, those who keep balance answer the ancient calls. (Chorus – Japanese) マホウトコロ、朝の光に輝きて！ 火と水よ、永遠の舞を交わして！ ホグワーツ遠くとも、魔法はすぐ近く、 日の出ずる国で、心燃え立つ！ (Romaji for singing:) Mahoutokoro, asa no hikari ni kagayakite! Hi to mizu yo, eien no mai o kawashite! Hoguwātsu tōku tomo, mahō wa sugu chikaku, Hi no izuru kuni de, kokoro moetatsu! (Verse 2) Robes that shift with every changing season’s hue, from snowy white to deepest cherry red anew. Quidditch races high above the temple roofs so grand, cherry-wood brooms that fly like lightning across the land. Harry would marvel, the boy with the lightning scar, here silence, respect, and inner harmony are. No rigid houses like Gryffindor bold and bright— here the heart that beats with all things feels the light. (Chorus – Japanese) マホウトコロ、朝の光に輝きて！ 火と水よ、永遠の舞を交わして！ ホグワーツ遠くとも、魔法はすぐ近く、 日の出ずる国で、心燃え立つ！ (Romaji for singing:) Mahoutokoro, asa no hikari ni kagayakite! Hi to mizu yo, eien no mai o kawashite! Hoguwātsu tōku tomo, mahō wa sugu chikaku, Hi no izuru kuni de, kokoro moetatsu! (Bridge) When the full moon rises and the spirits awake, students dance with tengu by the misty lake. No Dark Lord disturbs this peaceful, sacred ground, only wonder and wisdom in the magic all around. (Outro – softly) Mahoutokoro… beneath blossoms so fair, the Japanese wizarding school, forever there.
