lyrics

Deep in the mountains, where hills rise so high,
Thirty banners soar in the sky,
Casting their shadows on an ancient shrine -
The august abode of the God of War.

He casts his sight on the clashing hosts -
Lo, as the dusk falls upon the gorge.
Spears rend their way through the Taira ranks,
Driving the scarlet banners into their graves.

In the cliffs


streams of blood ran and
泉血を流し、

mounds of corpses piled up.
死骸岳を成せり。

Now, on the slopes of that valley
されば其谷の邊には、

Piercings of arrows and cuts of swords
矢の穴、刀の瑕殘て、

even now remain
今に有りとぞ承はる。
