君が代

君が代は 千代に八千代に
さざれいしの いわおとなりて
こけのむすまで

Basil Hall Chamberlain translated Kimigayo into English.

A thousand years of happy life be thine!
Live on, my Lord, till what are pebbles now,
By age united, to great rocks shall grow,
Whose venerable sides the moss doth line.


Translation into Japanese of English words

汝（なんじ）の治世が幸せな数千年であるように
われらが主よ、治めつづけたまえ、今は小石であるものが
時代を経て、あつまりて大いなる岩となり
神さびたその側面に苔が生（は）える日まで


Have you ever listened to Kimigayo?
Kimigayo is National anthem of Japan.
The lyrics is one of the tankas recorded in "an ancient and modern times sum songbook" edited in the tenth century.
The melody was made in 1880.
The song became official national anthem in 1999 by Japanese law.
Actually I've never know that The song became official national anthem in 1999.
As a result Japan haven't been have official national anthem until 1999. I've thought that Kimigayo is national anthem from long time ago.
