The Golden Rule
Japanese Name:”A Lighthouse Keeper” by Yoshio Katsu
JASRAC No.0U6-0025-6
In Meiji-Times, many foreign musics had been brought to Japan with many words, and Japanese poets and writers translated into Japanese as the words for chilren' song, adjusting the suitable words against a merody as they could. However,the original words of this song han't been cleared for a long time what it was. “The Golden Rule”became known recently as the original words of this merody. Japanese Words
 
(1)
The golden rule, the golden rule,
Oh, that's the law for me;
Were this the law for all the world,
How happy we should be!
The golden rule, the golden rule,
Oh, that's the law for me;
To do to others as I would
That they should do to me.

(2)
Were this the rule, in harmony,
Our lives would pass away;
And none would suffer, none be poor,
And none their trust betray.
The golden rule, the golden rule,
Oh, that's the law for me;
To do to others as I would
That they should do to me.
