A quick note about the title – いざや (izaya) has a strong connotation of ‘beckoning’ someone to do something, or to go somewhere. Though I translated it as ‘Come, now, to the end,’ it is possible that the speaker is in fact inviting ‘the end’ to go somewhere (in this case, towards a curtainless world).
Of course, my usual spiel about archaic Japanese applies here, too. I kept the romaji as close to what is sung as possible, since the vocalist doesn’t exactly sing what is written down… For example, やうに (yau ni) is pronounced ‘you ni’ in the song (and in modern Japanese), so I left it as that. The identity of the speaker is an enigma – almost all of the pronouns have come about as a result of my own interpretation.
歌詞
誘はれ 迷子踊戯び 眺むる頂の果てに
騒めく函庭見下ろせば 啼き嗤ひ人は叢集ふ
其れならば 何呉と渾て愛せるやうに
演ずる侭 今日に然様なら
孤独な客席に佇み 遠眼鏡覗けば何時も
櫻雨に打たれ微睡む 徒な世界の中で
歯俥を違へた事にも
詐る事にも 眼を瞑れば今日は素晴し
誰ひとりステヱジに昇る其の為に
路を彷徨つて歩んで來た訳では無ひ事
乍信も氣附けばカアテンコオル迎へるのさ
夢で亦 遇へると識つても
眠れぬなら 眼を閉ざして今日に口附け
夜が廻りパレヱドは続く
振反らず誰もが 憂ひ乍抱歩み往くならば
いざや帷無き世へ
カアテンコオルの向ふへと

Translation
The lost children dance and play. They have been beckoned to the edge of this peak, which we gaze at.
If you look down upon that rustling, miniature garden, you will see the singing, laughing people gather together…
If that is so, I bid farewell to today,
Whilst acting as if I love everything in various ways…
When I linger in an isolated audience seat, and peer out through spectacles,
I am always struck by a rain of cherry blossoms, and I fall into a slumber within this vain world…
If you shut your eyes to those conflicted gears, and
Deception, as well, today will be wonderful…
There is no reason why one would have arrived here after becoming lost on the road.
Whilst believing, a curtain call will welcome them before they are aware of it.
This is done so all may climb upon the stage…
Though I am aware that I can meet you again in my dreams,
If I cannot sleep, then I shall open my eyes and kiss today.
Night returns, and the parade continues…
If all are to walk forwards whilst embracing grief, without looking back,
Then come, to a curtainless world,
Beyond that curtain call, where something awaits you…
