English Lyrics (translated by animeyay)：

[Before I die, just once more,
may I take one last look at your face?]

I merely watch over his back as he hastens through the restless battlefield.
When I pray to the heavens, my thoughts for him grow stronger and stronger,
as though up in the sky is the image of him with his head hanging.
My prayers will probably never reach him, but please, lest him forget about me.

Now, like the flowers,
and like the butterflies,
I completely veil myself with a white gown and pass away.
Time cannot stop its flow,
so just obey your destiny.
After all, you're the one chosen by the gods, right?

Now, like the wind,
and like the moon,
escorted by the red liquid, I depart for the underworld.
Taking my grief with me,
taking my joy with me,
I am on my way to an endlessly faraway journey.

When the screen door is opened, and sunlight shines in, a maiden sits there alone.
Standing behind the girl, a man, overlooking her back, holds aloft a katana.
With tears trailing down her face, the girl was stabbed in her bosom.

(As the hanging bells chime, the castle burns down.)
With the sound of the rivers resonating nearby, I dissolve,
while a dream-like sun floats right beside me.

In one spring, when the cherry blossoms fluttered, the two encountered.
Together, they lived through four seasons, loving each other dearly.
In the next spring, when the cherry blossoms scattered, so did the girl,
all while dyeing the brightly red flowers crimson.

Now, like the flowers,
and like the butterflies,
I completely veil myself with a white gown and pass away.
Time cannot stop its flow,
so just obey your destiny.
After all, you're the one chosen by the gods, right?

Now, like the wind,
and like the moon,
escorted by the red liquid, I depart for the underworld.
Taking my grief with me,
taking my joy with me,
I am on my way to an endlessly faraway journey.
