Lyrics and translation
:
Kyoto Ohara Sansen-in
Koi ni tsukareta on-na ga hitori
Yuki ni Shioze no sugaki no obi ga
Ike no mizumo ni yurete ita
Kyoto Ohara Sanzen-in
Koi ni tsukareta on-na ga hitori
At Kyoto’s Ohara Sanzen temple
Stands the lone figure of a woman disappointed in love
Wearing a Yuki kimono with a simply dyed obi
Her reflection Shimmers on the surface of the pond
At Kyoto’s Ohara Sanzen temple
Stands the lone figure of a woman disappointed in love
Kyoto Togano no Kozan-ji
Koi ni tsukareta on-na ga hitori
Oshima tsumugi ni tsuzure no obi ga
Kage o otoshita ishidatami
Kyoto Toga no Kozan-ji
Koi ni tsukareta on-na ga hitori
At Kyoto’s Togano Kozan temple
Stands the lone figure of a woman disappointed in love
Wearing an Oshima weave kimono with a tsuzure weave obi
Casting a shadow over the paved pathway
At Kyoto’s Togano Kozan temple
Stands the lone figure of a woman disappointed in love
Kyoto Ranzan Daikaku-ji
Koi ni tsukareta on-na ga hitori
Shiozawa gasuri ni Nagoya obi
Mimi o sumeseba taki no oto
Kyoto Ranzan Daikaku-ji
Koi ni tsukareta on-na ga hitori
At Kyoto’s Ranzan Daikaku temple
Stands the lone figure of a woman disappointed in love
Wearing a Shiozawa gasuri kimono with a Nagoya obi
If you listen, you will hear the sound of falling water.
At Kyoto’s Ranzan Daikaku temple
Stands the lone figure of a woman disappointed in love
