Rashōmon Lyrics
(English translation)
Artist: Ningen Isu (人間椅子)
Song: 羅生門 (Rashōmon)
Play "羅生門"
On the horizon across Suzaku Avenue
I see a setting sun of impermanence
Oh Mother, who's in the far north east
I'll set out on a journey tomorrow
Everyone in this country looks monstrous
And the wind blows your chest hollow
This is
The Gate of Rashomon
Those over there are monks of Mt. Toribe
They burn themselves praying to Amitabha
Is happiness what you seize by force
Or
To let yourself flow in the stream?
This is
The Gate of Rashomon
Go, go through here and there and the six realms
Go, go ahead, even though it is hard to return
East: the Blue Dragon rising up to be a quarter moon
West: the White Tiger pouring me its welling blood
South: the Red Bird singing as I shout out my name
North: the Black Turtle giving me a ride to tomorrow
