Yoshiwara Lament

The streets of Edo are deep today
Covered in darkness
Facing the mirror, putting on makeup
Accepting my fate as it is

The orange flowers shining bright
Longed for, desired
Before I knew it, blue flowers
But it's not easy for me

The truth is, for the sake of a single powder
I wanted to cultivate
But fate snatched the watch's gun
And turned the gears, that's how it goes

Filled with lies, love, and embracing me
Pretending to feel so sad
Yoshiwara, it's raining today

Would you please
Buy me?
In the crowd of umbrellas tearing apart
I'm getting wet in the rain

The bustling voices of the passing crowd
Jostling and tangling
I wish someday
To be surrounded and taken away

The truth has no destination
It's all gone
But the view from within this net
Will always hate the watch

Filled with lies, love, and buying me
Petals falling on my heart
It's raining
Would you please
Have a night of play with me?
The dull thorns of desire pierce my heart

A flower tinged with sorrow, longing to end
Welcome, come on in

In this night of lovers' play, let out a sigh
Pretending to feel so sad
Yoshiwara, it's raining today

Filled with lies, love, and embracing me
Pretending to feel so sad
Yoshiwara, it's raining today

Would you please
Buy me?
In the crowd of umbrellas tearing apart
I'm getting wet in the rain
