The sinking twilight glows on the hills
My happiness welling up as the dew falls
With the sound of nightfall drawing near
You let a single excited shout out
To ring through the air
Waiting for you before the fox
Passing under the rows of gates
The sweet sent of the lantern fruit
Wafted through my heart
"Let's dance"
Turn, turn, and clap your hands
Do as the others do and join the ring
Turn with the stuttering movements
Sleeves fluttering
Dance, dance, and join your hands
With cheeks flowing flushed
The sound of the drum ringing in the air
My rеd fruit skipped with the beat
Pеrhaps you noticed that it did?
The roar of the crowd, the burning bonfire
I will send my desired with my wavering feelings
As the music of the festival grew distant
The sight of the Dog Star hiding behind the clouds
Struck me in the heart
The moon is hazy tonight
I hid my heart in the cloud
In a fleeting moment's wavering
As it passed through my heart
"Close your eyes"
Sleep, sleep, consciousness is transparent
My desire that grew with each passing night
The flowers lit by the moonlight
Fall fluttering
Cry, cry, drops falling from above
An evening shower before the bride-taking
The fickle weather outside the umbrella
Disguised the shower into my sleeve
So that you would notice
The heavenly winds blow the clouds on their path
Along with the dreams seen with eyes closed
So long have I longed for this
May this moment never end...
With a drop, I wished
Halt, halt, time, come to a halt
Enjoy taking part in this dreamlike moment
I sent with wolf smoke from fox fire
My heart wavering
Dance, dance, and join your hands
Reflecting like water the cheerful steps
With such happy processions of oni and spirits
Come memories such as these
I wish you happiness tonight
