about

This set is dedicated to a traditional japanese poetry. Kojo - No - Tsuki is a poem by Doi Bansui. It was set to music by Rentarō Taki and is widely known as a folk song in Japan.

The Moon over the Ruined Castle
Flowery feast in spring high up in the castle
Cups of sake were passed around
Lit by the moonlight through the old pine branches
Where is that old moonlight now?
Encampment in autumn was white covered with frost
A number of geese honked as they flew across the sky
The moonlight shined on the swords thrusted upright into the ground
Where is that old moonlight now?
Now at midnight the moon is right above
For whom does it shine like in the past?
Nothing remains on the rampart but some ivy
Nothing to hear but the rustle of pine branches in the storm
Up in the sky the moon and the stars remain unchanged
But in the earthly life, rises and falls come and go
Does the moon hang there to reflect those changes?
Ah! the midnight moon over the ruined castle

荒城の月
春 高楼の 花の宴
めぐる盃 かげさして
千代の松が枝 わけ出でし
むかしの光 いまいずこ
秋 陣営の 霜の色
鳴きゆく雁の 数見せて
植うる剣に 照りそいし
むかしの光 いまいずこ
今 荒城の 夜半の月
かわらぬ光 誰がためぞ
垣に残るは ただかつら
松にうたうは ただ嵐
天上 影は 変らねど
栄枯は移る 世のすがた
写さんとてか 今もなお
ああ荒城の 夜半の月
