Mayoi no mori no nemurenu kohitsuji
Toi kane no ne ni ashi o tome
Akai tsuki kara ochiru hana
Kiri no naka kara hi ga agaru
Tabibito no fueno ne ni odoru kodomo-tachi
Utsukushiki hane no kotori no you ni
Kimi wa utai tobimawaru
Kisetsu wa moete haru wa yuku
Birds, birds, burning bright
In the forest of the night
Birds, birds, burning bright
What immortal wing or eye
God made only the fugitive one sorrowful and beautiful.
Kisetsu yo susume
Kimi wa utsukushi
