English Lyrics (translated by animeyay)：

Kagome, Kagome, the caged bird,
just when can you come out? Right before dawn,
a crane and a turtle slipped and fell. Who stands behind you now?

The captured bird was chained down in her cage.
"The sky is a scary place." She had been taught.

Then, she finally grew up into a woman, and learned what love was.
"Please remain here always." She drowned with joy in those words.

Might that be mere deception?

Kagome, Kagome, the caged bird,
just when can you come out? Right before dawn,
a crane and a turtle slipped and fell. Who stands behind you now?

A bird that knows not how to fly, she was chained down to the ground.
"I don't even want the sky." That was how she used to think.

Then, she finally had contact with men, and drowned in pleasure.
"Someday I want to vanish into the sky." She dreamed on about her wish.

That probably will never come true.

Bend forward, bend over, the caged bird,
just when can you come out? Right before dawn,
a crane and a turtle slipped and fell. Who stands behind you now?

Kagome, Kagome, the caged bird,
just when can you come out? Right before dawn,
a crane and a turtle slipped and fell. The one standing behind you--

Bend forward, bend over, the caged bird,
just when can you come out? Right before dawn,
a crane and a turtle slipped and fell. Who stands behind you now?

Romaji lyrics (transliterated by motokokusanagi2009)：

kagome kagome kago no naka no tori wa
itsu itsu deyaru yoake no ban ni
tsuru to kame ga subetta ushiro no shōmen dāre?

tora wareta kago no tori kusari ni tsunagare teta
"sora wa kowai tokoro da" sō oshie rare teta

yagate on'na ni natte tsunagare te ai o shitta
"itsumo koko ni inasai" kotoba ni yotte

sore a mayakashi kashira

kagome kagome kago no naka no tori wa
itsu itsu deyaru yoake no ban ni
tsuru to kame ga subetta ushiro no shōmen dāre?

tobi kata mo shiranu tori daichi ni tsunagare teta
"sora ni kogare wa shinai" sō omoi kon deta

yagate otoko o shitte kairaku ni obore shin de
"itsuka sora e iki tai" negai ni yotte

sore wa kanawa nu kashira

kagome kagome kago no naka no tori wa
itsu itsu deyaru yoake no ban ni
tsuru to kame ga subetta ushiro no shōmen dāre?

kagome kagome kago no naka no tori wa
itsu itsu deyaru yoake no ban ni
tsuru to kame ga subetta ushiro no shōmen

kagome kagome kago no naka no tori wa
itsu itsu deyaru yoake no ban ni
tsuru to kame ga subetta ushiro no shōmen dāre?
