Mahoroba Densetsu

Legend of Mahoroba

Mahoroba Densetsu

Living in a legend
でんせつのなかにいきてきた
Densetsu no naka ni ikitekita
Who is that person [woman]?
そのひと[かんじ:おんな]がだれなのか
Sono hito [kanji: onna] ga dare nano ka
Long hair, shining figure, queen of queens
ながいかみひかるすがた queen of queens
Nagai kami hikaru sugata queen of queens

Holding eternal life
えいえんのいのちもちながら
Eien no inochi mochi nagara
Why do you have such a sad look?
あなたはなぜそんなかなしいめをする
Anata wa naze sonna kanashii me wo suru
Like a fleeting Mahoroba
まるではかないまほろば
Marude hakanai mahoroba

Buried in a legend
でんせつのなかにうずもれて
Densetsu no naka ni uzumorete
Where is that person [woman] going?
そのひと[かんじ:おんな]はどこへいく
Sono hito [kanji: onna] wa doko e iku
Deep mystery, blue streaks, queen of queens
ふかいなぞあおいかけり queen of queens
Fukai nazo aoi kakeri queen of queens

Throwing away even happiness
しあわせさえもすてさって
Shiawase sae mo sute satte
Why do you rush through life like that?
あなたはなぜそんないそいでいくのか
Anata wa naze sonna isoi de ikuno ka
Like a suspicious Mahoroba
まるであやしいまほろば
Marude ayashii mahoroba

Holding eternal life
えいえんのいのちもちながら
Eien no inochi mochi nagara
Why do you have such a sad look?
あなたはなぜそんなかなしいめをする
Anata wa naze sonna kanashii me wo suru
Like a fleeting Mahoroba
まるではかないまほろば
Marude hakanai mahoroba
Like a suspicious Mahoroba
まるであやしいまほろば
Marude ayashii mahoroba
