inochi mijikashi koiseyo otome
akaki kuchibiru asenu mani
atsuki chishiyono hienumani
asuno tsukihino naimonowo

inochi mijikashi koiseyo otome
iza tewo torite kano funeni
iza moeyuru howo kimiga honi
kokoniwa daremo konumonowo

inochi mijikashi koiseyo otome
namini tadayou funeno yoni
kimiga yawatewo waga katani
koko niwa hitomemo naimonowo

inochi mijikashi koi seyo otome
kurokamino iro aseme mani
kokorono honoo kienu mani
kyouwa futatabi tomumonowo

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Life is brief. Fall in love, maidens,
Before the crimson bloom fades from your lips,
Before the tides of passion cool within you,
For those of you who know no tomorrow.

Life is brief. Fall in love, maidens,
Before his hands take up his boat,
Before the flush of his cheeks fades,
For those of you who will never return here.

Life is brief. Fall in love, maidens,
Before the boat drifts away on the waves,
Before the hand resting on your shoulder becomes frail,
For those who will never be seen here again.

Life is brief. Fall in love, maidens,
Before the raven tresses begin to fade,
Before the flame in your hearts flicker and die,
For those to whom today will never return.
