物の怪カルタ || Ghostly Karuta

歌詞

草木も眠らず丑三つ
灯る鬼灯　さあさとおりゃんせ
指が転がす一文半銭
ツキもしゃぶり尽くすのさ

骨まで露わ　襟をはだけ
あやかし遊戯　いざ尋常に

跳ねる
しょしょ、猩々寺
猩々寺の庭は
つ、つ、月夜だ
みんな出て　来い来い来い

賽の目はこの手の中

どちらにしよう神様の言うとおり
八百万どれにしよう（贅沢指名仕様）
願かけて　山掛けて　金賭けて

花にあやかし　月に運試し
めくる物の怪カルタ
今日日地獄の沙汰もこれ次第
さあ賽を投げるのさ

赤い唇　コマを這わせ
真剣勝負　いざ尋常に

踊れ
しょしょ、猩々寺
猩々寺の庭で
は、は、花札
猪鹿　来い来い

松に鵺　芒に火車

どちらにしよう神様もなのなのな
八百万どれにしよう（最大五回使用）
鶴滑り亀滑り　後ろの後ろの君は誰？

花にあやかし　月に運試し
めくる物怪カルタ
今日日極楽行きもこれ次第
嗚呼、賽を投げたら————

Translation

In the dead of night when even the plants are restless,
The Chinese lanterns burn. Come, come, pass through.
I roll some small change around with my fingers
and I’ll even devour the moon.

Bare to the bone, expose your neck.
These are games with spirits. Let’s go, like usual.

Leaping around—
At Shoujouji (1)
the garden
is moon-moon-moonlit at night.
Everyone, come out. Come, come, come!

The die is in my hands.

Eeny, meeny, miny, mo. Let’s do as God says. (2)
Of all of them, which do we choose? (A luxuriously named method).
Make a wish, take a guess, bet some cash.

Spirits atop the flowers, a test of luck upon the moon,
I turn over the ghostly karuta.
It all depends on this in Hell. (3)
Alright, I’m gonna throw the dice.

Red lips crawl along the piece.
It’s a fierce fight. Let’s go, like usual.

Dance!
At Shoujouji
in the garden
we play ha-ha-hanafuda.
Boar and deer, come, come! (4)

A nue in the pines, a kasha on the grains. (5)

Eeny, meeny, miny, mo. Let’s do as God says.
Of all of them, which do we choose? (Max uses: five)
The crane and tortoise slipped over. Who’s that in front of me? (6)

Spirits atop the flowers, a test of luck upon the moon,
I turn over the ghostly karuta.
Nowadays, the path to paradise depends on this. (7)
Ah, once I throw the dice—
