Aogeba tōtoshi (仰げば尊し, Aogeba tōtoshi^?) is, along with Hotaru no hikari, one of two songs commonly sung at graduation ceremonies in Japan.

[edit] Lyrics

1. 仰げば　尊し　我が師の恩
   教の庭にも　はや幾年
   思えば　いと疾し　この年月
   今こそ　別れめ　いざさらば
2. 互に睦し　日ごろの恩
   別るる後にも　やよ　忘るな
   身を立て　名をあげ　やよ　励めよ
   今こそ　別れめ　いざさらば
3. 朝夕　馴にし　学びの窓
   蛍の灯火　積む白雪
   忘るる　間ぞなき　ゆく年月
   今こそ　別れめ　いざさらば

1. Aogeba tōtoshi wagashi no on
   Oshie no niwa ni mo haya ikutose
   Omoeba ito to shi kono toshitsuki
   Ima koso wakareme izasaraba
2. Tagai ni mutsumishi hi goro no on
   Wakaruru nochi ni mo yayo wasuruna
   mi wo tate na wo age yayo hageme yo
   Ima koso wakareme izasaraba
3. Asayū narenishi manabi no mado
   Hotaru no tomoshi hi tsumu shirayuki
   Wasururu ma zonaki yuku toshitsuki
   Ima koso wakareme izasaraba
