MUKUDORI YAMABATO KOGANEGUMO OMURASAKI mo yume no naka OTSUKIMISOU wa nemurenai gin no shizuku wo nonda kara
and a giant purple butterfly, all in a dream. The evening primrose can't sleep because it drank the silver drop.
andoro-n doro-n naidoro-n yoru no koe mori ni watareba andoro-n doro-n naidoro-n oyasumi yoiko ashita sametara agemashou KIICHIGO NATSUGUMI YAMABOUSHI
Voices of the night... If you traverse the forest... A dream, dream, no dream... Goodnight, my darling child. When you wake up tomorrow, I'll give to you: a raspberry, a summer oleaster, and a dogwood.
YUUSUGE KISUGE KONOHAZUKU yofukashi NOUSAGI BENISUZUME shippo no kireta TOKAGE no ko kawari ni tsukeru RYUU NO TAMA
Staying up late: a wild rabbit, a tiger finch. A baby lizard without a tail... In its place, a dragon jewel.
andoro-n doro-n naidoro-n yoru no koe mori ni watareba andoro-n doro-n naidoro-n oyasumi yoiko ashita sametara agemashou GENGE no juutan mimi kazari
Voices of the night... If you traverse the forest... A dream, dream, no dream... Goodnight, my darling child. When you wake up tomorrow, I'll give to you: a carpet of Chinese milk vetch, adornments for your ears.

DOKUZERI ASEBI YAMAKAGASHI MOZU no eda ni wa AMAGAERU KITSUNE ga tabeta SHIKA no ko wa tsuki no momo-iro mite shinda
On a branch with a shrike, a tree frog. The fawn that was eaten by the fox had looked up at the ruddiness of the moon as it died.
andoro-n doro-n naidoro-n yoru no koe mori ni watareba andoro-n doro-n naidoro-n oyasumi yoiko ura no SUGI no ki naita nara akai fuku kite nigemashou
Voices of the night... If you traverse the forest... A dream, dream, no dream... Goodnight, my darling child. When the Japanese cedar 'round back weeps, don your red garb, and flee.
