now, farewell
I thought this was the end of the world
I used to live here when I escaped
The white walls of the temple’s warehouse
I wonder if I can see it again in my eyes.

If it be so
If you live here, you will find the abode of the Buddha
the flame of a fire that becomes a house of fire
from a heart that has no consolation
I wonder if they are tears that flow and fall

If it be so
Even though the oil in my heart is muddy
the light of the fire will be stirred brightly
I will be burned by the fire that burns so hot
I am burnt in the dust of the fire

いざさらば
これをこの世のわかれぞと
のがれいでては住みなれし
御寺みてらの蔵裏くりの白壁しらかべの
眼にもふたたび見ゆるかな

いざさらば
住めば仏のやどりさへ
火炎ほのほの宅いへとなるものを
なぐさめもなき心より
流れて落つる涙かな

いざさらば
心の油濁るとも
ともしびたかくかきおこし
なさけは熱くもゆる火の
こひしき塵ちりにわれは焼けなむ
