Hey Oni-san just try and tag me,
Young days spent playing at Gion.
Everyday Every Night rocked back and forth
On your back facing the new moon, with a lullabye

You like a Japanese Doll,
Without changing your expression even once,
Softly closing your eyes, lying by the side of your baby
Go to sleep go to sleep little one (nennenokororiyo...)

Now I think of my dead mother,
Her image overlapping with this child,
Let's play the koto again today.

Back and forth, side to side, swinging and swaying
Kururi fururi fuwari kurakurari
Back and forth, side to side, swinging and swaying
Back and forth, side to side, making noise.

LINES:
"Mother and you and my new relation"
Without thinking I put my hand on your neck.
You say nothing and you do nothing.
I'm gonna sing the last lullabye for you while
You smile at me.
I wonder why I fell in love with you. Impossible Love.

Your tiny hands put together palm to palm,
The disharmonized dream, a corpse and love.

Back and forth, side to side, swinging and swaying
Kururi fururi fuwari kurakurari
Back and forth, side to side, swinging and swaying
Back and forth, side to side, making noise.

Mother and you and my new relation
Mother and you and my new relation
Mother and you and my new relation
