Lyrics and Translation for the Song "Kounagihishouka"





Japanese Lyrics:

巫秘抄歌

舞え舞え　巫
頭の飾りを打ち振るい
焔見遣って踊りゃんせ

舞え舞え　巫
耳の飾りを鈴鳴らし
風音尋ねて踊りゃんせ

舞え舞え　巫
首の飾りを打ち鳴らし
水面覗いて踊りゃんせ

舞え舞え　巫
胸の飾りを揺り捨てて
頭を真似て　廻りゃんせ

飛べ飛べ　使い鳥
錦の腰帯揺り解き
土を求めて羽ばたかん

揺り揺られ　箱の舟
腕の飾りが拍子打つ
鳥を待ちわび揺られけん

 舞え舞え　巫
天の衣で舞い踊り
舟を背にして踊りゃんせ

まことにめでたく舞うたらば
七つの門が開かれん

English Translation:

"Maiden's Secret Song"
Dance, maiden, dance
Wave the crown upon thy head
Watch the flames and dance

Dance, maiden, dance
Ring the bells upon thine earrings
Ask the winds and dance

Dance, maiden, dance
Wave and shake thy necklace
Peek the water’s surface and dance

Dance, maiden, dance
Cast off the brooch upon thy chest
Imitate the head and dance

Fly, Fly messenger bird
Shake free from thy jewelled girdle
Fly in search of soil

Sway, sway the ark
Thy bracelet beats the rhythm
Sway gently, eagerly awaiting the bird

Dance, maiden, dance
Dance about, clad in robes divine
With the ark behind thee, dance
