Twelve: Beyond today
Is it an end, a dream or an illusion?
Now, tonight, what I would have you tell me is
A tale of dying in battle
I dreamed a shallow dream.
While dozing.
Human fate is so lacking in daring.
Seven flowers on my blade.
What cannot be reconciled is unforgivable.
This world is but a passing illusion.
As it flows along.
Twelve: Not drunk.
Is what you see a dream or an illusion?
Now, everyone claps their hands.
Ah, so beautiful, avenging cherry blossoms.
Who knows if they scatter at dawn.
Whether one wins or loses, it is a matter of fate.
Brace yourself.
Now, push ahead.

People drift; where do they go?
Tears flow; where do they go?
Even if I think you are sad.
O life, today has become its last.
Ignorance is bliss-the heart's longing.
If it cannot come true, ah, then.
This world is but a passing illusion.
As it flows along.
Twelve: Beyond today
Is what you see a demon or a child of man?
Now, the skilled and the unskilled alike, clap your hands.
Ah, what a delight, a banquet of blossoms.
It even captures the moon on the lake's surface.
I dreamed a shallow dream.
While dozing.
The fate of man is so lacking in daring.
