(Verse 1) In a glowing stalk of bamboo, An old man found a tiny child. She grew to be a beauty, With a grace so gentle and so mild. (Chorus) She was Kaguya, from the moon, A lovely mystery under the sun. She brought light to a lonely life, And promised a story that would not run. (Verse 2) Many men came to woo her, But she gave them tasks they couldn't do. Even the Emperor's loving heart, She couldn't stay to see it through. (Bridge) "My home is calling me back," she cried, "I must go where I belong." She flew back to the full moon's light, As the world cried out in a sorrow song. (Outro) The Emperor burned the gift she'd left, His sorrow's smoke rose to the sky. It became the smoke of Mount Fuji, A legend for all who pass by. かぐやひめの物語 La la la la la
