            Haru koro no hana no en
            Meguru sakazuki kagesashite
            Chiyo no matsu ga e wakeideshi
            Mukashi no hikari Ima izuko
            Mukashi no hikari Ima izuko

            
            Aki jinei no schimo no iro
            Nakiyuku kari no kazu misete
            Uuru tsurugi ni terisoishi
            Mukashi no hikari ima izuko

            
            Ima kojo no yowa no tsuki
            Kawaranu hikari ta ga tame zo
            Kaki ni nokoru wa tada kazura
            Matsu ni uto wa tada arashi

            
            Tenjokage wa kawaranedo
            Eiko wa utsuru yo no sugata
            Utsusan toteka ima mo nao
            Ah! Kojo no yowa no tsuki

            

            Angol fordításban:

            
            A banquet was held in the splendid castle in the season of the cherry blossom.
            Where is the light now, that shadowed the glasses and flew through the old pines?
            

            The encampment was covered with frost in the autumn.
            Where is the light now, that shone on the swords like plants,
             that were as numerous as the cackling wild geese, that flew ? 
            

            Now there is the moon over the desolate castle.
            Whom is it shining for without change? 
            Only tendrils remain on the walls.
            Only the storm sings between branches of the pines.
            

            The shadow of the sky doesn't change. 
            But the shadow is reflecting it as before, changing for better to worse? 
            Ah! The moon over the desolate castle!
