き花よ、小さき命よ
いずくへゆく別れの旅路

愛を探し求めしかど
憧れ遥かに遠ざかりぬ

つむじ風に散りしのち
ひとすじの香り残りて
時過ぎて、枯れ果てゆく

無常の恋に別れ付きぬ
清らかなる白き花よ
儚き命の別れを歌う


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh white flower, oh small life
Where do you go, on the journey of farewell  
Though I sought and searched for love  
My longing has receded far away  
After scattering in the whirlwind  
A single trace of fragrance remains  
Time passes, and you wither away  
Parted from the impermanence of love  
Oh pure white flower  
Sing the farewell song of fleeting life
