RARABAI Text - Key: The Metal Idol

Romaji

MUKUDORI YAMABATO KOGANEGUMO
OMURASAKI mo yume no naka
OTSUKIMISOU wa nemurenai
gin no shizuku wo nonda kara

and a giant purple butterfly, all in a
dream.
The evening primrose can't sleep
because it drank the silver drop.

andoro-n doro-n naidoro-n
yoru no koe mori ni watareba
andoro-n doro-n naidoro-n
oyasumi yoiko
ashita sametara agemashou
KIICHIGO NATSUGUMI YAMABOUSHI

Voices of the night... If you traverse
the forest...
A dream, dream, no dream...
Goodnight, my darling child.
When you wake up tomorrow, I'll give to
you:
a raspberry, a summer oleaster, and a
dogwood.

YUUSUGE KISUGE KONOHAZUKU
yofukashi NOUSAGI BENISUZUME
shippo no kireta TOKAGE no ko
kawari ni tsukeru RYUU NO TAMA

Staying up late: a wild rabbit, a tiger
finch.
A baby lizard without a tail...
In its place, a dragon jewel.

andoro-n doro-n naidoro-n
yoru no koe mori ni watareba
andoro-n doro-n naidoro-n
oyasumi yoiko
ashita sametara agemashou
GENGE no juutan mimi kazari

Voices of the night... If you traverse
the forest...
A dream, dream, no dream...
Goodnight, my darling child.
When you wake up tomorrow, I'll give to
you:
a carpet of Chinese milk vetch,
adornments for your ears.

[Instrumental]

DOKUZERI ASEBI YAMAKAGASHI
MOZU no eda ni wa AMAGAERU
KITSUNE ga tabeta SHIKA no ko wa
tsuki no momo-iro mite shinda

On a branch with a shrike, a tree frog.
The fawn that was eaten by the fox
had looked up at the ruddiness of the
moon as it died.

andoro-n doro-n naidoro-n
yoru no koe mori ni watareba
andoro-n doro-n naidoro-n
oyasumi yoiko
ura no SUGI no ki naita nara
akai fuku kite nigemashou

Voices of the night... If you traverse
the forest...
A dream, dream, no dream...
Goodnight, my darling child.
When the Japanese cedar 'round back
weeps,
don your red garb, and flee.

oyasumi yoiko
oyasumi...
(saa)

Goodnight...
(Come, now...)
