秘神流し譚 || The Tale of a Secret God Set Adrift

日本語

かごめかごめ　座敷牢の雛鳥や
曼珠沙華の見目麗しやオヒイサマ
世話の小僧が　哀れに思うて尋ねるが
「いついつ出やる」
「出やるは罷り通りませぬ」

廻せ　交合せ　腫れ物舐めて　膿呑ましゃあ
祓い給え　万病、禍事を
マレビトククリ　夜毎の祭にゃ近づくな
言いつけ破り
「御役目覗くは、だぁれ」

村の男の影、また影が　女雛を弄び交じり合う
穢れに咽ぶ　か細い声に　何ができようか

過ぎた願いなど
其を叶えよう
川を下り　わたつ海へ
お山を降りて　穢れ流れよ　夜明けの晩に　遠く
お山を降りて　共に逃れよ　夜明けの晩に　遠く

通りゃんせ通りゃんせ　籠の雛が逃げやるぞ
ゆらり　ゆらり　山狩りの火が差し迫る
マレビトタタリ　呪いが還るぞ　仇なすぞ
御家は廃れ　村も終いじゃと嘆く

小僧は殺して犬に喰わせろ　オヒイサマを連れ戻せ
「いたぞ」「見つけたぞ」「橋を渡すな」「逃がしてならぬぞ」

この手を離して　どうぞ無事に　わたつ海へ
この手をすり抜けて　どうぞ無事に　わたつ海へ
沈め　鎮め　燃ゆる橋と　落ちる
往くな　往くな　燃ゆる橋と　落ちる

どうか愛しくさせないで　今更惜しくなるから
定めに捧げ　厄連れて　流し給う　わたつ海へ

この身一つで済むのなら　想い一つ　護れたなら
誰も怨むな　何も嘆くな　愛しい　人よ　どうか
誰も怨むな　何も嘆くな　流し　雛よ　どうか

願わくばまた　遠く焦がれた　わたつ海で　巡り逢おう

Translation

Kagome, kagome. Confined baby bird,
you are a princess, beautiful with your red spider lily looks.
You pity the child you look after and ask about them,
“When, oh when will they leave?”
“I will never let them go.”

Spin and come together. Lick the swelling and sup on the pus.
Exorcise all sicknesses and misfortune!
Khukuri, visiting from far away, don’t come near the nightly feast.
They defy the command.
“Who is tasked with keeping watch?”

The villager’s shade, and another, toyed and joined with the Empress doll.
What is she trying to do with her feeble voice, smothered by shame?

I will grant
your expired dreams.
Head down the river to the ocean.
Descend the mountain and wash away the disgrace in the night of dawn, far away.
Descend the mountain and escape together in the night of dawn, far away.

Don’t pass, don’t pass through. The caged chick is escaping!
Swaying to and fro’, the flames of the mountain hunt press on.
This curse comes from far away. It will return to have its revenge.
I lament that my family will die and my village will end.

Kill the child and feed them to the dogs! Bring the princess back!
“There they are!” “Found them!” “Don’t let them cross the bridge!” “You won’t escape!”

Let go of my hand. Please, head safely to the ocean.
Slip through my grasp. Please, head safely to the ocean.
Sink, still your breath. Fall with the burning bridge.
Don’t go, don’t go. Fall with the burning bridge.

Don’t cherish me, for you’ll regret it when it’s too late.
I offer you to fate and, leading calamity along, wash it all away to the ocean.

If things end with my life, and if I could protect a single feeling,
then do not begrudge anyone. Do not grieve for anything, my beloved. Please.
Do not begrudge anyone. Do not grieve for anything, chick in the stream. Please.

I pray and yearn for you far away. Let us meet again at the ocean.
