Lyrics : Shin'ichi Yamamoto
Music : Mami Matsubara/ Mariko Matsumoto Mother, What wondrous nourishing power you have! Were it not for you in this world, People would lose the earth to return to, And wander for all eternity. Mother, our Mother Persevering through the storm, You offered prayers in sadness. I pray you’ll stay in good health until the day When all your wishes are fulfilled, And as though endowed with wings, You take flight towards the heavens. Mother, with your ideas and wisdom, I hope you will perform a melody of peace on earth, Where we will look forward to the arrival of spring, Thus you will become the Mother of the Century of Humanity. |
Background
Carrying his elderly mother, Ichi, at Fujinomiya. Shizuoka Prefecture, April 1975 This song "Mother" was composed in memory of President Ikeda’s mother, Ichi (1895-1976), and was completed only a month before she passed away.
The song was first presented during a Women Division training course on 5th August 1976 at Soka University in the presence of President Ikeda. The lyrics of this song originated from President Ikeda’s poem carrying the same name dedicated to his mother. It was introduced 5 years ago during Kansai Women Division Leaders meeting at Shizuoka Training Centre on 4th October 1971. This song has 3 verses and 19 lines in Japanese. However, the original poem on which this song is based, consists of 26 verses and 184 lines. Although condensed to only a tenth of the original length, the lyrics are imbued with feelings of love and affection for his mother, Ichi, who had maintained a gentle and cheerful disposition despite having undergone the bitterness of war. President Ikeda specifically delegated the task of composing the melody to music university graduates, Mariko Matsumoto and Mami Matsubara. Although Ms Matsumoto and Ms Matsubara had little experience in melody composition, both of them worked very hard in response to their mentor. Finally, the song was completed with a beautiful melody and a poetic feel. While the song overflows with sentiment towards President Ikeda’s own mother, it has become a symbol for the indubitable role mothers all around the world plays. It is because of this reason that this beautiful song possesses a universal appeal that deeply moves the hearts of those who listen to it. President Ikeda also commented, “I wrote this poem in appreciation of the many praiseworthy mothers who have dedicated themselves to countless activities for people’s happiness and peace throughout the world.” |

背景
 池田会长与会友在东京 这首歌《母亲》是为纪念池田先生的母亲，名 “一”（1895-1976），而创作，仅于她离开人世前一个月完成。
《母亲》是在1976年8月5日，池田会长出席于创价大学的妇人部研修会上首唱。这首歌是以5年前（1971年10月4日）池田先生于静岡研修道场举行的关西妇人部干事会上所歌咏的《母亲》一诗为蓝本。 这首歌的日语歌词共有3节，19行。但原本的长诗篇却有26节184行。虽浓缩成原诗的十分之一， 歌曲里却满怀着池田先生对这位经历战苦时代，却个性温和明朗的母亲无限关爱。 池田会长指定由音乐大学出身的松本真理子与松原真美填曲。松本与松原小姐几乎毫无作曲的经验。然而，两人为了回应恩师，她们非常努力与认真地作曲。最终完成了这旋律幽美，且充满诗意的歌曲。 在歌曲充溢着池田先生对母亲的情感的当儿，也代表了世界各地母亲们不容置疑的角色。就因为这样，这首优美的歌曲获得广泛的共鸣，深深感动听者。 池田先生有这样说到：“这首诗也是为了感谢与赞扬在世界各地为他人幸福与和平而献身的母亲！” |
