Let us keep a moment of silence for Nagasaki which, three days after Hiroshima , sixty-four years ago was victim of a nuclear bomb. Never, ever must we allow this to happen again.
Cranes Fly for Peace Tanka
A girl in Japan
taught the world to fold paper
cranes — still there is war.
Blessings written on their wings,
oh, paper cranes, fly for peace.
taught the world to fold paper
cranes — still there is war.
Blessings written on their wings,
oh, paper cranes, fly for peace.

tanka Grullas vuelen por la paz
Una niña en Japón
le enseñó al mundo doblar grullas
de papel — aun hay guerra.
Bendiciones escritas en sus alas
¡O garzas de papel! vuelen por la paz.
