¶Lyrics / Text

''Ukon'' My broken heart I don't lament, To destiny I bow; But thou hast broken solemn oaths,— I pray the Gods may now Absolve thee from thy vow. ''The retired emperor Sutoku'' The rock divides the stream in two, And both with might and main Go tumbling down the waterfall; But well I know the twain Will soon unite again. ''The priest Dō-in'' How sad and gloomy is the world, This world of sin and woe! Ah! while I drift along Life's stream, Tossed helpless to and fro, My tears will ever flow. ''The assistant imperial adviser Masafusa'' The cherry trees are blossoming On Takasago's height; Oh may no mountain mist arise, No clouds so soft and white, To hide them from our sight. ''Chisato Ōye'' This night the cheerless autumn moon Doth all my mind enthrall; But others also have their griefs, For autumn on us all Hath cast her gloomy pall.
