[Intro] [Verse 1] Biggest moon of the year, tsuki ga noboru over the hill, susuki yurete in the gold, the evening gone still, dango on the windowsill, the night coming soft and slow, kawa no hata ni minna — down to the river we go. [Pre-Chorus] kikoeru? that soft steady sound — usagi ga tsuku, and it's coming down [Chorus] odore, odore — under the harvest moon, usagi no rizumu — it's pulling you, ichi, ni — mochi to taiko ga naru, dance it out, dance it out, till the night is gone. tsuki ga ōkii — you could fall right in, odore, odore, under the moon again. [Verse 2] Cooler now than natsu, you can feel the turn, momiji akaku on the far bank burn, kisetsu wa meguru — we just let it come, so we steal one perfect yoru, and dance it 'fore it's gone. [Pre-Chorus] kikoeru? that soft steady sound — usagi ga tsuku, and it's coming down [Chorus] odore, odore — under the harvest moon, usagi no rizumu — it's pulling you, ichi, ni — mochi to taiko ga naru, dance it out, dance it out, till the night is gone. tsuki ga ōkii — you could fall right in, odore, odore, under the moon again. [Bridge] (tsuku, tsuku — the mochi on the moon) (tsuku, tsuku — machijū odoru) mochi-tsuki, tsukimi, tsuki no shita — (shakuhachi bursts back) saa —! [Final Chorus] odore, odore — under the harvest moon, usagi no rizumu — it's pulling you, ichi, ni — mochi to taiko ga naru, dance it out, dance it out, till the night is gone. tsuki ga ōkii — you could fall right in, odore, odore, under the moon again. [Outro] tsuki no shita, one more time... (soft, distant) ...wasshoi. [Hard End]
