Gion Kouta Lyrics 

@himurakenshinfan19 the full text in Japanese: 月はおぼろに東山 霞（かす）む夜毎（よごと）のかがり火に 夢もいざよう紅桜 しのぶ思いを振袖（ふりそで）に 祇園恋しや　だらりの帯よ 夏は河原の夕涼み 白い襟（えり）あしぼんぼりに かくす涙の口紅も 燃えて身をやく大文字 祇園恋しや　だらりの帯よ 鴨（かも）の河原の水やせて 咽（むせ）ぶ瀬音（せおと）に鐘の声 枯れた柳に秋風が 泣くよ今宵（こよい）も夜もすがら 祇園恋しや　だらりの帯よ 雪はしとしとまる窓に つもる逢（お）うせの差向（さしむか）い 灯影（ほかげ）つめたく小夜（さよ）ふけて もやい枕に川千鳥 祇園恋しや　だらりの帯よ

The 4th verse about winter is missing :( The black&white movie heavily used here is Gion Bayashi (祇園囃子) by Kenji Mizoguchi. It is really interesting. Unfortunately, I don't know the name of the color movie (looks like it was filmed in 1960's).

this is really beautiful, it doesnt sound like this when geiko perform it

Très belles images de Kyoto et des merveilleuses artistes que sont les maïkos et geikos.

what a beautiful song,and thank you for uploading this,i enjoy studying japanese cultrer,and this is certainly interesting:)

Found the last verse (although not shown in this video) It's the winter fragment of the song. Yuki wa shito shito Marumado ni Tsumoru Ōse no sashimukai Hokage tsumetaku Sayo Fuke te Moyai Makura ni Kawa-chidori Gion Koishi ya Darari no Obi yo

thanks you so much! I was searching for the translation of this amazing song a long time! >.

As soon as my mortgage is paid off, I'm off to Kyoto!

@hopeitwillendup This used to be my old channel, the reason there isn't the 4th verse because I couldn't find it, and this was the Misora Hibari version.

Domo arigato gosaimashita! Thanks a lot for uploading this great song, its lyrics in Romaji and an English translation! I really love this kind of music.

@hopeitwillendup thank you, this is really cool:)

Great !!! Thank you ! :D

Wow!!!

Hai suki desu

the old colored film is not a geiko or geisha it's just a regular woman getting ready, it's from the 1920s-30s

hey I was just wondering if I could use this song in a performance...?

เพลงนี้ร้องได้

Does anyone know the name of the singer?

Is this song in Japanese language?
