なまはげ

最果ての土地に 粉雪が舞えば
因習の村は 祝祭の季節
伝説の時を 幾年も越えて
戒めのために 客人は来たる
 
山より重い 人の罪
海より深い 人の業
 
なまげものは いねが
泣いでるわらしは いねが
 
ざんばらの髪と わらしべの羽織
赤色の顔に 憤怒だけが灯る
迷妄で惑う 輩を憂い
発願の元に 鬼神となれる
 
夜より暗い 人の性(さが)
火よりも熱い 人の欲
 
なまげものは いねが
泣いでるわらしは いねが
 
厳しさ それが愛じゃ
激しさ それが慈悲じゃ
手心 それが毒じゃ
 
なまげものは いねが
泣いでるわらしは いねが
なまげものは いねが
泣いでるわらしは いねが
なまげものは いねが
泣いでるわらしは いねが
 
Translation

Namahage

In the remotest area, the powder snow brings
The festive season to the old traditional village
Ever since the mythical era, all through many long years
Our visitors keep coming back to warn us
 
Heavier than the mountain is our sin
Deeper than the ocean is our karma
 
Is there a loafer here?
Is there a crybaby here?
 
Shabby long hair and coats made of straw
Red faces just showing wrath
To save the misguided souls with delusion
They themselves decided to be menacing gods
 
Darker than the night is our nature
Hotter than the fire is our desire
 
Is there a loafer here?
Is there a crybaby here?
 
Severity, this is love
Vehemence, this is mercy
Tender heart, this is harmful
 
Is there a loafer here?
Is there a crybaby here?
Is there a loafer here?
Is there a crybaby here?
Is there a loafer here?
Is there a crybaby here?
