### Japanese Occupation

台中州立台中第二中学校校歌 〈黒潮の歌〉 作者不明

1

黒潮南に　さすところ　椰子の葉茂る　南海に

萌ゆる胸底　奥深く　見よや乾坤　つんざきて

緑の色も　おごそかに　振るう健児の　意気高し

2

紫こむる　新高に　旭光燦然　輝きて

鵬翼図南の　意気高く　健児の血潮は　高鳴りぬ

鍛えし鉄の　この腕　磨く剣に　光あり

3

千秋夢を　包みつつ　太平の波　轟きて

我等健児の　雄叫びは　天来自由の　調べなり

鋼（はがね）のごとく　もる肉は　勝利の力　あふれたり

4

水源地頭　たそがれて　八千の峰　洋洋と

秋空高く　暮れゆけど　勝利の夢は　なおさめず

歌え若き　日の歌を　振れ喜びの　応援旗
