Kitsunezuka

Fox Hill

Kitsunezuka

Ripping apart the red flowers
あかいはなをしぎれて
Akai hana wo shigirete
Descending the mountain on the other side
さいむこうのやまおろし
Sai mukou no yama oroshi
The wandering spirits cast shadows
ほろうまがときかげおぼし
Horouma ga toki kage oboshi
Mouth agape, spewing out winter blood
くちあまいてふゆちだし
Kuchi amaite fuyuchidashi

The wild dog howls, challenging the night
あげなすひようがよいをむがえ
Agenasu hiyouga yoi wo mugae
The crimson color fades away
あかなきろはこにきゅう
Akanakiro wa ko ni kiyu

If it's fate to eventually see the end
いずれみまちるがさだめならば
Izure mi machiru ga sadame naraba
Who should the heavens favor?
あまはだれをみくめばいいのですか
Ama wa dare wo mikumeba ii no desuka
If it blooms, it's better to lose sight
さくのならばいっそはたくしめも
Saku no naraba isso wa takushi me mo
Another body swaying
ゆれるなんてのみがまたひとつ
Yureru nante no mi ga mata hitotsu

Even if the falling rain turns into snow
ふりしあめがゆきとなりても
Furishi ame ga yuki tonarite mo
Without saying 'now'
いまこむ」といえずに
"Ima komu" to iezuni

Throwing and catching the big ball
なげかわしきからだいせのたま
Nage kawashiki kara daise no tama
Thinking, how should I think, but it's all taken away
おもうえどおもうえどもつみとられ
Omou e do omou e domo tsumitorare
Yearning, sadness, how should I cry, but I can't sleep
こがれかなしめどないたはねぬ
Kogare kanashi me do naita wa nenu
The broken mask is still on...
かけたおもてのちたまいています
Kaketa omote no chita maiteimasu

If it's fate to eventually see the end...
いずれみまちるが
Izure mi machiru ga
Throwing and catching the big ball...
なげかわしきから
Nage kawashiki kara

Oarsman, to my beloved child I offer this prayer
ささぶねよいとしこいずこえいぬる
Sasabune yo itoshi koizuko e inuru
Without bamboo in hand, ah, how many years
わがてにたけずにあいくとせ
Wagate ni takezuni ah ikutose
