日本語の歌詞は英語の歌詞の後にあります。 [Prologue] Ah, how dear and precious you are— When I think of you, the moon shines bright. On every night we do not meet, Dew gathers, and my sleeves grow wet with tears. [I] In the spring fields, the oxalis blooms— Yet even its color is outshone by your shade. I ask the wind, but it gives no reply; Only your lingering fragrance remains. [II] Longing at least to meet you in a dream, I prayed through a softly glowing night. But when I awoke and faced the waking world, You were farther away than ever. [Interlude] Ah, ah— Love is a shadow, Chased but never caught, Like the moon. [III] Through the gap in the bamboo blind, light falls— I reach out, thinking it is your sleeve. But when I touch it, it vanishes, And only the pale moon remains. [IV] Even if this life should come to an end, My love will never fade. Across a thousand nights, Through countless ages, I shall still remember you. [Epilogue] Might you come to me Within a dream? Komachi waits here, Longing for you. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ [序] あはれ いとしき その人を 思ひて見れば 月ぞ照る 逢はぬ夜ごとに 露おきて 袖は涙に ぬれにけり [一] 春の野に 咲く かたばみの 色にもまさる 君が影 風に問へども 答えなく ただ香(か)ぞ 残りぬ [二] 逢はぬ身を せめて夢にと 願ひし夜の ほのあかり 目覚めて見れば うつつには 君は遠くぞ なりにける [間] あはれ あはれ 恋は影 追へども つかぬ 月のごと [三] 御簾(みす)のすきより 差す光 君が袖かと 手をのばす 触れども消えて ただ白き 月のみ 残る [四] この命 尽きるとも 想ひは消えず ありぬべし 千の夜(よ)越え 万(よろず)の世に なお君を しのばん [結] もしや 来ませ 夢のうち 小町は ここに 待ちわびて
