[Intro] [instrumental koto solo] [Verse] Do not pursue the past, do not long for the future. What is past is left behind, the future is as yet unreached. [Verse] Whatever quality is present, you clearly see right there, right there. Not taken in, unshaken, that's how you develop the heart. [Interlude] [Verse] Ardently do what should be done today, who knows if tomorrow death comes. There is no bargaining with the great death's army. [Pre-Chorus] Thus, the enlightened sage said, [Chorus] 'The one who dwells ardently, relentlessly both day and night, he is the one who has a fortunate day.' [Outro] [End]
