Original Lyrics: Jousha Hissui no Kotowari, Okotowari Lyrics (Romanized)
Translated Title:
Denying that Even the Prosperous Inevitably Decay
1.I hear a sound from somewhere,
2.A voice I’ve heared somewhere before,
3.But even if I try to ask who it is,
4.I’ve completely lost my grasp of the truth.5.
6.Long, long ago,
7.There once lived a young man and woman.
8.They swore their love to one another,
9.Making a pinky swear in the middle of the night.10.
11.The sound of Jetavana-vihara’s bell, *
12.Resounds the impermanence of all things.
13.The color of the sal tree’s flowers,
14.Reveal that even the prosperous inevitably decay.15.

16.Before long, those living in luxury,
17.Will be but a dream on a spring evening.
18.Even the brave will face destruction,
19.Like dust in the wind.20.
21.There’s simply no end, so forget about it!
22.People are so foolish.
23.It would be so sad to forget, though they say we always hate what we truly love.
24.So please don’t forget…25.
26.“Eternal happiness, eternal happiness, worn down for 2,500 years, plenty of fish in the sea,
27.Endless is the destination of the sea and origin of the clouds and wind, mankind’s fundamental needs, the strongest of spearflowers amongst the thicket,
28.Eternal life as those of Paipo; Shu-ringan, Shu-ringan’s Gu-rindai…” **29.
30.Even though I remember all that…31.
32.But it fails to show up here, there, or anywhere…
33.Guess there’s nothing I can do!34.
35.There’s simply no end, so forget about it!
36.People are so foolish.
37.It would be so sad to forget, though they say we always hate what we truly love.
38.So please don’t forget…39.
40.Someday my heart will change;
41.Even beautiful flowers wither.
42.All of the blessings and love I’ve attained will someday come to an end… but,43.
44.It would be so sad to forget… but the melody is fading away.
45.It would be so sad to forget you and I,
46.But I just can’t recall that melody.
47.It would be so sad to forget…
*: The opening passage to the 14th-century epic, the Heikei Monogatari (平家物語). **: An excerpt from a famous Japanese folklore tale, Jugemu (寿限無), often employed in Rakugo.
