The Ballade of Puppets: The Ghost Awaits In The World Beyond

Kagiroi wa

Yomi ni matamuto

Kagiroi wa

Yomi ni matamuto

Saku hana wa

Kami ni koinomu

Ikeru yo ni

A ga mi kanashimo

Ime wa kenu

Uramite chiru

Uramite chiru

Momoyo no kanashiki

Tokoyami ni

Kaiko no komuyo wo

Sumekami ni nomu

English Translation:

The Ghost awaits in the world beyond.

The Ghost awaits in the world beyond.

Flowers in bloom pray to Gods.

Lamenting over their being in this world of life.

Their dreams having faded away.

Flowers grieve and fall.

Flowers grieve and fall.

In the everlasting darkness of grief.

Inert in shells, praying to Gods for the reincarnation.
