Migi no te ni kin no utsuwa, Hidarite ni gin no utsuwa; Dochiraka dake de wa taoreteshimau Daremo ga motteiru futatsu no mienai utsuwa.
Kin no utsuwa wa...
Yorokobi wo tatae Atatakana iro ni kagayaku; Anata ni atte koi wa afurete Kin no utsuwa ni hairikiranai.
Kin no yorokobi, gin no kanashimi; Koremade no subete sutemashou Anata no tameni, koi no tame dake... Futatsu utsuwa wo kara ni shimashou.
Bowls of Silver, Bowls of Gold (Translation)
The left hand holds a silver bowl; the right, a bowl of gold Never one without the other Two unseen bowls that we each bear The bowl of gold - It is filled with all my joys It is radiant in its warmth When I met you, so great was our love The golden bowl could never hold it all The gold is my happiness; the silver, my pain All that I have ever had, I shall cast away For you alone, for the sake of our love - I shall empty out these bowls.
