Episode
May it be that I find
The hazed early dawn light comes not from the moon
But from the crystal white snow of Yoshino
Nobody wishes to see
Mount Amanokagu
Tatsuta River Ablaze
The storm blasts
As friends and strangers
I recall how my own efforts were in vain
Scarlet kadsuras
Leaving a hovering mist above the trees and grass
So the flower petals are scattered like the snow by the passing storm
Yet it is I who withers and wilts
The emotions experienced
As helpless autumn leaves are caught against the flow
Takes me away in haste
As my sleeves are wet with dew
The storm will soon carry me
Bring a life of everlasting love
May the scarlet kadsuras
To restore my faith
Just as my beauty has faded
Like a boatsman adrift
When winds send waves crashing
