むらさき小唄

流す涙が お芝居ならば
何の苦労も あるまいに
濡れて燕の 泣く声は
あわれ浮名の 女形
好いちゃいけない 好かれちゃならぬ
仇なひとよの 浮気舟
乗せて流れて いつまでか
しのび逢うのも 恋じゃない
嘘か真か 偽むらさきか
男心を 誰か知る
散るも散らすも 人の世の
命さびしや 薄ぼたん
流す涙が お芝居ならば
何の苦労も あるまいに
濡れて燕の 泣く声は
あわれ浮名の 女形
好いちゃいけない 好かれちゃならぬ
仇なひとよの 浮気舟
乗せて流れて いつまでか
しのび逢うのも 恋じゃない
嘘か真か 偽むらさきか
男心を 誰か知る
散るも散らすも 人の世の
命さびしや 薄ぼたん

Purple Elegy

If the shed tears are a play,
There would be no hardship.
The soaked swallow's cry is
The lament of an infamous onnagata.
I shouldn't love you, you shouldn't love me,
The heartless one's unfaithful boat.
It sails and sails, how long will it be?
Our secret rendezvous is not love.
False or true, a fake purple, who knows?
Who can understand a man's heart?
To bloom or to wither, it's the human world's
Fate, how lonely and fragile is the pale peony.
