UTAKATA NO KOMORIUTA

うたかたの子守唄

Utakata no Komoriuta
Evanescent Lullaby

KANJI 

「小狐丸」
夜よ　夜よ　いにしえの夜よ
夜よ　夜よ　その　か黒き闇で
淡き現し世　包んでいるのか

「石切丸」
ねんねんねん　ゆらるろろ

夜よ　夜よ　星屑の夜よ
夜よ　夜よ　その目映き闇で
久遠の疼き　癒しているのか

「小狐丸」
ねんねんねん　ゆらるろろ

「二人」
嗚呼　泡沫の
嗚呼　人の世よ
たまゆらの涙　零れ落ちても

嗚呼　兵の
嗚呼　夢の跡
今宵は眠れ　闇に抱かれて

ROMAJI 

Yoru yo Yoru yo Inishie no yoru yo

Tamayura no namida Kobore ochitemo

Aa Tsuwamono no

Koyoi wa nemure Yami ni dakarete

TRANSLATION 

This night, this night. It's a night of bygone days.

This night, this night. Is it veiling this transient world in its deep darkness? 

Hushaby, it's time to sleep.

This night, this night. It's a magical night.

This night, this night. Is it healing our eternal aches with its dazzling darkness?

Hushaby, it's time to sleep.

Oh, this fleeting

Oh, human world.

Even if the tears are overflowing,

Oh, the remnants of

Oh, the warriors' dreams.

let’s rest tonight embraced in the darkness.
