I greet the new day
with a happy face.
The fears of the night,
have fled without trace.

With optimism supreme,
I salute the new dawn.
With energy renewed,
new tasks await to be borne.

Francis Y Takahashi

I greet the new day
con una cara feliz.
Los temores de la noche,
han huido sin dejar rastro.

Con optimismo supremo,
Saludo al nuevo amanecer.
Con energía renovada,
nuevas tareas esperan a ser llevadas.
