Go beyond that then (Lies) the ogre's house A lost maiden Her eyes were blind... and reached (the house) Without knowing that was the ogre's When (the ogre) make-voice(=calls) The maiden smiles The ogre spends one night merrily The maiden speaks About the village About Man For the first time the ogre Learned Man's heart "I'll come again." and "Good bye." "You can't." Although (the ogre) tells her (The maiden) just smiles At the entrance of woods The maiden waits If (the ogre) make-voice(=calls) She would turn around and Next day and the day next and the next... (She would ask for) And some-day, she is told It is a figure of ogre It is no Man I see the figure (now) How scary... how frightening... One day, to the blue ogre's House, came men With shaking, frightened, horrified eyes Promises not to meet the maiden and Never to come again... (those promises) (They) made (the ogre) to promise Where the village end The entrance of woods Here... I shall part -- For the maiden's sake The maiden cries though Pretending unnoticed Cry bug(=baby) blue ogre Forbears... forbears (for the maiden) The maiden of a village... A white gorgeous-flower To meet the ogre She would bring it with her Endlessly on and Endlessly on... A voice that she would hear one day... Believing that ...there... ...behind you Can you hear (me)...?
