Ootone Tsukiyo
Tabata Yoshio
Moonlit Night
Take a look, the moonlight shines
Flowing through the door
The moon we once laughed at
Today, today, with tears
We see it in your face
Can't cry, but night is night
Under the moon's invitation, we drink
Men and women, drawn together
Now, now, in this fleeting world
We hold our umbrellas
If you follow the past, you'll raise samurai
Pride in your arms, the land's charm
What's lacking in this moonlit life
In this country, in this country, my younger sister
Waits at the pine tree
