Paroles et traduction Yoshikazu Mera - 荒城の月

荒城の月

春 高楼の 花の宴
めぐる盃 かげさして
千代の松が枝 わけ出でし

むかしの光 いまいずこ

秋 陣営の 霜の色
鳴きゆく雁の 数見せて
植うる剣に 照りそいし
むかしの光 いまいずこ

今 荒城の 夜半の月
かわらぬ光 誰がためぞ
垣に残るは ただかつら
松にうたうは ただ嵐

天上 影は 変らねど
栄枯は移る 世のすがた
写さんとてか 今もなお
ああ荒城の 夜半の月

Moon over a Ruined Castle

Spring, cherry blossom viewing party at a high building
Cups circulate, the moonlight shines
Separating the branches of a thousand-year-old pine,

Where has the light of the past gone?

Autumn, the color of frost in the military camp
Counted the geese flying south
Shining on the planted sword,
Where has the light of the past gone?

Now, the moon at midnight over the ruined castle
Unchanging light, for whom?
Only ivy remains on the fence
Only the storm sings to the pine

In the sky, the shadow remains unchanged
The rise and fall of prosperity and decline, worldly matters
Trying to capture the essence,
Ah, the moon at midnight over the ruined castle
