Hi, I fell in love with the song at first sight listen and figured I should try to translate it so everyone can see how awesome Kiku is :D
Sorta a rush work (10am at the office and I haven't started doing any work... so please kindly let me know if you spot any mistakes~)
Japanese Lyrics (off Niconico comments)
さあさあ 父上 お酌は如何
もしもし 母上 もしもし 母上
昔に食べた肉じゃがの
あの味が忘れられないのです
まるかいて地球 まるかいて地球
まるかいて地球 日本と申します
まるかいて地球 じっとみて地球
ひょっとして地球 日本と申します
嗚呼 一筆で見える
素晴らしい世界
白米は最高だ!
天晴だ!
『礼儀礼節を重んじる つつましやかな私も
たまには 陽気な歌を歌うのさ』
まるかいて地球 まるかいて地球
まるかいて地球 日本と申します
まるかいて地球 はっとして地球
ふんぞりかえって地球 日本と申します
嗚呼 ひと煮込みで
泣ける おふくろの味
『白滝は細めがよい』
晴れたら 日傘 全開で
隠れみの
なあなあ 兄上 鮪(まぐろ)を頂戴
ついでに 姉上 山葵を多めに
オイオイ 祖父(おおじ) 平和を誓おう
ハイハイ 坊や 『其方(そち)の為にもだ』
ぐいぐい 父上 お酌は如何
もしもし 母上 もしもし 母上
昔に食べた肉じゃがの
あの味が忘れられないのです
暮らしの旨味は
春夏秋冬
まるかいて地球 まるかいて地球
まるかいて地球 日本と申します
嗚呼 一筆で見える
素晴らしい世界
白米は最高だ!
天晴だ!
ああ 世界中に
眠る 幸せのレシピ
醤油があれば 安心の
長旅だ!

English Translation
Now, Father, how about some wine (sake)?
Hello Mother, hello Mother
I cannot forget the taste
of the braised meat and potato dish I ate before
Draw a circle for the world, Draw a circle for the world
Draw a circle for the world, My name is Japan
Draw a circle for the world, Take a good stare at the world
All of a sudden it becomes the world, My name is Japan
Ah, with just a stroke of the brush
A wonderful world can be seen
The white rice is the best!
It’s splendid!
Even a reserved person who respect decorum and manner like me
Would sometimes sing a cheerful song
Draw a circle for the world, Draw a circle for the world
Draw a circle for the world, My name is Japan
Draw a circle for the world, take a step back, it’s a world
Lean back and it’s a world, My name is Japan
Ah, with just one good stew
There comes the mother’s taste that would make you cry
“Shirataki noodles are the thinner the better”
If it is sunny, open the sun umbrella to the fullest extend
and take cover
Hey Elder Brother, please give me some tuna
And Elder Sister, I’d like more wasabi
Hey Grandfather, please make a vow to keep peace
Yes yes, little boy, it is also for you
Gulp Glub, Father, how about some wine
Hello Mother, hello Mother
I cannot forget the taste
of the braised meat and potato dish I ate before
The best taste for life
Is in the seasons
Draw a circle for the world, Draw a circle for the world
Draw a circle for the world, My name is Japan
Ah, with just a stroke of the brush
A wonderful world can be seen
The white rice is the best!
It’s splendid!
Ah, in this world
There sleeps a recipe of joy
As long as I have soya sauce
I can take a long journey with relief
(if you haven't heard the song yet,
see this post~)
Subbed it
here Here's the translation for the
UK and
Germany versions.
Oh, and while I'm at it, here's one more newish APH songs translation (a parody song based on a VOCALOID song, nof official):
"How come I made friends" for Prussia
