Shura No Hana

Shindeita asa ni tomurai no yuki ga furu
Hagure inu no tooboe geta no otokishimu
Ingana omosa mitsumete aruku
Yami wo dakishimeru janome no kasa hitotsu

Inochi no michi wo yuku onna
Namida wa tooni [bad word] Furimuita kawa ni toozakaru tabi no hi ga
Iteta tsuru wa ugokazu naita ame to kaze

Hieta mizumo ni hotsuregami utsushi
Namida sae misenai janome no kasa hitotsu
Urami no michi wo yuku onna 
Kokoro wa tooni [bad word] 
Giri mo nasake mo namida mo yume mo
Kinou mo [bad word] mo en no nai kotoba
Urami no kawa ni mi wo yudane 
Onna wa tooni [bad word] 
On a dead morning, a burial of snow falls. 
The howling of a stray dog and the sound of geta (wooden clogs) break the silence. 
I walk with the weight of the heavens on my mind. 
Embracing the darkness of the night, with a patterned (wooden) umbrella in hand, 
Treading the path of a woman's life, tears falling to the ground throughout the journey. 

Following the twisting river, the path leads me far by the lamplight. 
The frozen cranes cannot move, weeping rain and wind. 
The ice of the frozen pond reflects the silhouette of a woman's hair. 
If only I could not show my tears, with a patterned (wooden) umbrella in hand.
Treading the bitter path of a woman, her heart falling to the ground throughout the journey. 

Honor, compassion, tears, and dreams, 
yesterday, today.. all without the hope of words. 
I commit my body to the river of bitterness. 
woman falling to the ground throughout the journey.
