しかばねの踊り (shikabane no odori) (Corpse Dance) Kikuo (English Translation) Lyrics

Let’s dance with the shikabane ondo
Shikabane ondo de odorimashou
The dance of shikabane
Shikabane no odori

Let’s dance with the shikabane ondo
Shikabane ondo de odorimashou
Something has possessed us
Toritsuita, toritsuita, toritsuita, nanika ga
Guided by the path to the land of dreams
Yume no kuni e no michizure ni
Let’s light up the fun journey
Tanoshii tabi wo tomoshiyou to
With the dance of shikabane
Shikabane no odori de
Heads filled with emptiness pa parapara
Atama ga karani naru pa parapara
If you want to die, please come forward
Shinitai anata wa goshoutai
Escaping the painful floating world
Kurushii ukiyo wo hanarete

Here is a quiet, quiet place
Koko wa kanbina, kanbina
Come to the pleasure garden, pleasure garden
Raku en raku en da oide
The dance of shikabane, the dance of shikabane
Shikabane no odori, shikabane no odori
Living is tiring but
Ikiteyuku no wa tsukaroto
With the enjoyable dance, our hearts’ desires
Tanoshii ondo de kokoro no wareme ni
Rustling, treading upon the decaying earth
Kusatta chiutsu metsumete yuku
Happy, fun shikabane ondo
Ureshii tanoshi shikabane ondo
I will include you in your group of friends
Kimi no nakama ni iretageru
In the endless cycle of life and death
Uzou ni muzou no chimimouryou
Now, let’s dance in the graveyard, chachauu
Saa, hakaba de odorimashou, chachauu

The dance of shikabane
Shikabane no odori

The shikabane ondo, the shikabane ondo
Shikabane ondo de shikabane ondo no
The way to dance the shikabane ondo
Shikabane ondo no odorikata

The appearance of the death god
Shin’eto ki no sugata wo
Occasionally revealing itself is just enough
Tokidoki miseru dake sore dake de
Punishing the disliked self
Kirai na jibun ni keijibatsu
Spin the gears of thought
Guruguru shikou no kaihou
Step by step, come
Mazu wa ippo ippo ippo
In that state, come
Sono choushi, oide

The dance of shikabane, the dance of shikabane
Shikabane no odori shikabane no odori
It leads to the underworld, that’s delightful
Yomi e ni geru wa rakujaro to
In the realm of happiness and comfort, into the depths of the brain’s wrinkles
Youki nareijou de noumi sono shiwa ni
Sitting cross-legged, we go
Gidogido agura wo tsumete yuku

The dance of shikabane, the dance of shikabane
Shikabane no odori, shikabane no odori
Living is difficult but
Ikiteyuku no wa tsurakaroto

With the enjoyable dance, our hearts’ desires
Tanoshii ondo de kokoro no wareme ni
Rustling, treading upon the decaying earth
Kusatta choutsu metsumete yuku
Happy, fun shikabane ondo
Ureshii tanoshi no shikabane ondo
Your place is here
Kimi no ibasho ga koko ni aru
In the endless cycle of life and death
Uzou ni muzou no chimimouryou
Now, let’s dance in the graveyard, let’s dance in the graveyard, let’s dance in the graveyard
Saa, hakaba de odorimashou, hakaba de odorimashou, hakaba de odorimashou
