[KEI]
It will all be alright
There’s a way through this night
Stay strong
On this long road
We bury our pain
There’s a word we will say
To help get through each day
We will bear any nightmare
With a simple refrain
Gaman, gaman
Sturdy and sure
Keep faith and endure

[KEI & SAMMY]
Gaman, gaman

[KEI]
Hold your head high, carry on

[KEI & SAMMY]
Gaman

[TATSUO]
Dearest wife up on high
Looking down, see how I
Have lost, am exhausted
Weak and ashamed
[NAN & JOHNNY]
Little baby, don’t cry
Hear a sweet lullaby

[MEN]
Have I failed to protect you?
Am I to blame?
We know that there’s no turning back

[WOMEN]
Gaman
If we hold together

[ALL]
There’s nothing we lack

[TATSUO]
And our people will know
That wherever we go

[ALL]
Together we ever remain
Gaman, gaman
Sturdy and sure, keep faith and endure

[KEI]
We will carry on
[ALL]
Gaman, gaman
Dignity, pride
As we stand side by side
Even when all hope seems gone
Gaman
Gaman
Gaman
