Текст песни и перевод на английский 吉田兄弟 - 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

Deserted Castle at Night

Spring, the cherry blossom festival
with cups of sake cast in the shade
Years ago, pine branches were parted
The glory of the past, where has it gone?
Autumn, the color of frost
with geese flying in formation
The light shone on the sword planted
The glory of the past, where has it gone?
Today, the moon at midnight over the deserted castle
Unchanging light, for whom?
Ivy remains on the fence
Only the wind sings in the pines
The reflection in the sky remains unchanged
Yet the glory and decline of the world pass
As if to capture it, even now
Oh, the moon at midnight over the deserted castle
