* gift of the deities

this island of four seasons

do not forget, do not destroy our ancient ways

the heart of our true essence*

drops of tears for the hazy moon

I dreamt on the night of a full moon

do not forget, do not forget

the heart that feels and speaks

a boxwood comb for the (long) black hair

letters for the beloved, written with brush and ink

eyes alone speak to each other

on an island with a heart

cherry blossoms in the spring

coloring maple leaves in the autumn

many colors adorn

the prayers of the trees

hiding amongst the grass and reverberating,

the song of coming autumn

eyes closed,

it's the sweet lullabies that I remember

* (repeat)

allured by foreign lands

this changing island

do not forget, do not forget

here I make this wish in my heart
