Wolf's Song

狼の詩 (okami no uta)

The mountain wolf howls
やまにほえのにほえ
Yama ni hoenoni hoe
The moon howls
つきにほえ
Tsuki ni hoe
Oh, pitiful wolf
かなしきおおかみよ
Kanashiki ōkami yo

What hurts you, what do you seek?
なにがいたむか くるしか
Nani ga itamu ka kurushika
Chasing the north wind
きたかぜをおいかけて
Kitakaze wo oikakete
Running towards the horizon
ちへいへはしるあおいかげ
Chihei e hashiru aoi kage
If you don't run, you'll freeze
はしらなければこるから
Hashiranakereba koru kara
Pushing through foolishness
ばかをしょうちでつっぱしる
Baka wo shōchi de tsuppashiru

Howl, howl, howl, howl, howl
わうわうわうわうわう
Wau wau wau wau wau wau

Nameless wolf
なまえもたないおおかみよ
Namae mo tanai ōkami yo
Howling, struggling, shedding tears
うえてもだえてなみだする
Uete mo daete namida suru
Who knew youth could be so painful
わかさがこんなにつらいとは
Wakasa ga konna ni tsurai to wa

Biting the earth, biting the trees
つちをかみな みきをかみ
Tsuchi wo kaminami kiwo kaminami
Biting the grass
くさをかみ
Kusa wo kami
Lonely wolf
さみしいおおかみよ
Samishii ōkami yo

Did you lose your dreams somewhere?
ゆめをどこかでかでなくしたか
Yume wo dokoka de kadenakushita ka
Jumping into the sun of a normal day
らくじつのひのたまに
Rakujitsu no hi no tama ni
Flying up as if to dive in
とびこむようにはねあがる
Tobikomu yō ni haneagaru
If you stop here, you'll turn to stone
ここでとまればいしになる
Koko de tomareba ishi ni naru
I just don't want to become stone
いしになりたくないだけさ
Ishi ni naritakunai dake sa

Howl, howl, howl, howl, howl
わうわうわうわうわう
Wau wau wau wau wau wau

Loveless wolf
あいをしらないおおかみよ
Ai wo shiranai ōkami yo
Sulking, straying, trembling
すねてはぐれてふるえてる
Sunete hagurete furueteru
Who knew bitterness could be so strong
くどくがこんなにつらいとは
Kudoku ga konna ni tsurai to wa
