亀っ子賛歌
ここ まぶしい朝日登る 亀石の丘
ああ なぜに亀の歩みは のろいのか
たゆまぬ 努力で育つ 亀っ子魂
目指すは 遥か宇宙の果て 光の速さ
時を超えろ 亀っ子発進 準備完了
ここ きらめく風光る 亀石の丘
ああ なぜに亀の甲羅は 堅いのか
くじけぬ 根性で育つ 亀っ子魂
目指すは 百人乗っても 潰れない
象を超えろ 亀っ子発進 準備完了
ここ 清らかな泉湧く 亀石の丘
ああ なぜに亀の首は 長いのか
見上げよ 空の高みを 亀っ子魂
目指すは 超えられぬ壁 神の領域
最終進化 亀っ子発進 準備完了
Kamekko Sanka
koko mabushii asahi noboru kameishi no oka
aa naze ni kame no ayumi wa noroi no ka
tayumanu doryoku de sodatsu kamekko tamashii
mezasu wa haruka uchuu no hate hikari no hayasa

koko kirameku kaze hikaru kameishi no oka
aa naze ni kame no koura wa katai no ka
kujikenu konjou de sodatsu kamekko tamashii
mezasu wa hyakunin notte mo tsuburenai
zou wo koero kamekko hasshin junbi kanryou
koko kiyoraka na izumi waku kameishi no oka
aa naze ni kame no kubi wa nagai no ka
miage yo sora no takami wo kamekko tamashii
mezasu wa koerarenu kabe kami no ryouiki
saishuu shinka kamekko hasshin junbi kanryou
Song of the Little Turtle
Here on Kameishi Hill, the dazzling morning sun rises
Ah, why do turtles walk so slowly?
The spirit of the little turtle, raised with inexhaustible persistence
Shoot for the edge of Space at the speed of light
Cross time, little turtle, prepare for takeoff
Here on Kameishi Hill, a sparkling wind blows
Ah, why are turtles' shells so hard?
The spirit of the little turtle, raised with unbreakable willpower
Aim for uncrushable strength
Surpass the elephant, little turtle, prepare for takeoff
Here on Kameishi Hill, a clear stream burbles
Ah, why are turtles' necks so long?
Look up at the high sky, with the spirit of the little turtle
Aim for the unsurpassable wall, the domain of the gods
Final evolution, little turtle, prepare for takeoff
*"Little turtle" comes from "kamekko", the nickname for students of Kameishino Middle School.
