The Flower of Carnage Lyrics

Shindeita
Asa ni
Tomorai no
Yuki ga furu

Hagure inu no
Touboe
Geta no
Otokishimu

Iin na naomosa
Mitsumete aruku
Yami wo dakishimeru
Janomeno kasa hitotsu

Inochi no michi wo
Yuku onna
Namida wa tooni
Sutemashita

Furimuita
Kawa ni
Toozakaru
Tabinohima

Itteta tsuru wa
Ugokasu
Naita
Ame to kaze

Kieta mizu mo ni
Hotsure ga miutsushi
Namida sae misenai
Janomeno kasa hitotsu

Urami no michi wo
Yuku onna
Kokoro wa tooni
Sutemashita

Giri mo nasake mo
Namida mo yume no
Kinou mo ashita mo
Henno nai kotoba

Urami no kawa ni
Mi wo yudanete
Honma wa tooni
Sutemashita

this song is freakin amazing...i cant believe no one has commented on it yet...

i admit, i first heard this song in Kill Bill, but i love it on it's own merit. i have it on my mp3 player, and i even memorized the lyrics, despite not knowing any Japanese...

I found the translation elsewhere..although I couldn't say whether it is correct or not on account of not speaking a word of Japanese.

Begrieving snow falls in the dead morning Stray dog's howls and the footsteops of Geta pierce the air I walk with the weight of the Milky Way on my shoulders But an umbrella that holds onto the darkness is all there is. I'm a woman who walks at the brink of life and death Who's emptied my tears many moons ago. All the compassion tears and dreams The snowy nights and tomorrow hold no meaning I've immersed my body in the river of venegance And thrown away my womanhood many moons ago On the behalf of heaven, they're our soldiers, the loyal, invincible and brave. Now it's time for them to leave the country of their Parents their hearts buoyed by encouraging voices. They are solemnly resolved not to return alive, without victory. Here at home, the citizens wait for you. In foreign lands, the brave troops Instead of kindness from someone I do not care about I rather prefer selifshness from you my beloved. Oh, it the world a dream or an illusion? I am all alone in jail.

This is a really beautiful song. The translation that qunice gave (whether right or wrong) is quite poetic and gives a bit more meaning to the song, only adding to its beauty.
