千本桜 (Senbonzakura)

One Thousand Cherry Trees

千本桜 (Senbonzakura)

Intrepidly raising a plush revolution
大胆不敵にハイカラ革命
daitan futeki ni haikara kakumei
Free and easy, an anti-war country!
磊々落々 反戦国家
rai rai raku raku hansen kokka
Peddling a bicycle marked with the Japanese flag
日の丸印の二輪車転がし
hinomaru shirushi no nirinsha korogashi
Exorcising evil spirits!
悪霊退散 ICBM
akuryou taisan ICBM

Running through ring roads
環状線を走り抜けて
kanjousen wo hashirinukete
Always busy to be on the move, no big deal!
東奔西走なんのその
touhon seisou nanno sono
Boys and girls, being incomparably strong
少年少女戦国無双
shounen shoujo sengoku musou
As the way this transient world goes round!
浮世の随に
uki yo no zui ni

A thousand cherry trees are under the cover of the night
千本桜 夜ニ紛レ
senbon zakura yoru ni magire
Your voice cannot reach over here
君ノ声モ届カナイヨ
kimi no koe mo todokanai yo
This is a feast, a steel cage
此処は宴 鋼の檻
koko wa utage hagane no ori
Look down from the guillotine!
その断頭台で見下ろして
sono dantoudai de mioroshite

Darkness of Eternal World, Buddhist Cosmology
三千世界 常世之闇
sanzen sekai tokoyo no yami
A wailing song cannot be heard from here
嘆ク唄モ聞コエナイヨ
nageku uta mo kikoenai yo
Far away, there's the indigo blue sky
青藍の空 遥か彼方
seiran no sora haruka kanata
Shoot out with your ray gun!
その光線銃で打ち抜いて
sono kousei juu de uchinuite

Looks like a battle hardened army officer
百戦錬磨の見た目は将校
hyakusen renma no mitame wa shoukou
Is going to the way of the oiran!
いったりきたりの花魁道中
ittari kitari no oiran douchuu
This guy, that guy, everyone, close in!
アイツもコイツも皆で集まれ
aitsu mo koitsu mo mina de atsumare
It's a march of the saints! (One, two, three, four)
聖者の行進｡（ワンツー 三 四）
seija no koushin. (wan tsuu san shi

Passing through the gate of Zen
禅定門を潜り抜けて
zendoumon wo kugurinukete
Land of Bliss, ceremonial cleansing from the evil
安楽浄土厄払い
anraku joudou yaku harai
Surely, the curtain will be drawn with a happy ending
きっと 終幕は大団円
kitto shuumaku wa daidanen
Between applause!
拍手の合間に
hakushu no aima ni
