白雲の城 - 再唄入れ Ver.

夢まぼろしの 人の世は
流れる雲か 城の跡
苔むすままの 石垣に
栄華の昔 偲べども
風蕭条と 哭くばかり

城 黙して 語らず
天 永遠に 動かず
人 人のみ 心揺れて

月影浮かべ 満々と
湛えし堀も 水涸れて
名もなき花に 宿る露
幾星霜の 病葉が
積もりて朽ちし 大手門

心の褥 草まくら
誰が吹く笛か 琴の音か
月下に起てる 若武者の
凛々しき姿 今いずこ
あゝ荒城の 秋が逝く

White Cloud Castle - Re-recorded Ver.

This fleeting world of dreams,
Like drifting clouds, or castle ruins.
On moss-covered stone walls,
I trace the past glory,
But only the desolate wind weeps.

The castle, silent, speaks nothing,
The heavens, eternal, unmoving.
Only the hearts of men waver.

Reflecting the moon, full and overflowing,
The moat, once brimming, now dry.
Dew clings to nameless flowers.
Countless seasons of withered leaves
Pile and decay at the main gate.

A bed of grass, a pillow of my heart,
Whose flute plays? Whose koto rings?
Beneath the moon, a young warrior rises,
Where is his noble form now?
Ah, the autumn of this ruined castle fades.
