English Lyrics (translated by animeyay)：

Standing in a violent downpour,
a fox was waiting for a man.

While my bosom is on fire
from the dream in that one summer night,
my heart is stirred up by my paranoia.

Maybe it is because of my beastly nature,
my body, submitting to the sweet nectar,
is consumed with passion, and tonight, once again,
I'm staring intently at the waning moon.

In order to obliterate with my own hands
the things that are separating the two worlds,
I'm willing to change even my current appearance
which I see on the reflective water surface.

If everything should end after the sudden rain,
then I will weep, weep, and still weep.
When my tears have collected into a huge lake,
will you let yourself drown in it?

The dusk of the dreary autumn
gradually changes into drifting snow.
My thoughts for you are also piling up.

One glance, I just want to take one glance at you.
While trying to calm down my restless heart,
I quickly run through the darkness
in order to have a brief date with you.

Because of the gloominess of our farewells,
my tears have soaked up my pillow more times
than the number of tricks[2] I played on others
while wearing my plum flower hairpins.

Even if everything should end after the sudden rain,
I will love, love, and still love you.
When I have crossed over thousands of miles of mountains,
will you love me?

As I try to fight against my fate,
in a spring night, when I'm weaving out a love song,
I see another woman's figure standing
before my beloved while he is smiling.

Even if I'm nothing more than a passing rain to you,
I love you, love you, and am getting tired.
If I cannot win by trying to outfox her,
then you and I should rather just

pass through the dock of the Sanzu River[3],
and together join the hungry ghouls there.
Even if you're only a skull, I'll still love you.
This shall be
my wedding.

Once I'm done with the blood bath,
I shall immediately come for you.

[Translation notes]

[1] The Japanese phrase "kitsune no yomeiri", literally "a fox's wedding", actually refers to the phenomenon of sunshower. This is why "rain" is frequently referenced within the song.
[2] In Japanese folklore, foxes (kitsune), just like raccoon dogs (tanuki), are said to be mischievous tricksters who often deceive/trick humans with their magic tricks.
[3] The Sanzu River is the Japanese equivalent of River Styx.
