Additional Info | ||
Translator note: The fifth play in a traditional Noh performance is known as the Kiri Noh (切り能) or the Oni Mono (鬼物), and it features the performer assuming the role of demons or monsters. They are apparently fast-paced, and make use of bright colours. | ||
Original | Romanized | Translation |
そのいでたちして 人にも似ぬものもなく されどその髪の色はあかあかと 人の肉の色にも似て |
sono idetachi shite hito ni mo ninu mono mo naku saredo sono kami no iro wa aka aka to hito no niku no iro ni mo nite |
“The clothes that she wore Were unlike those of any human. Even so, her hair was brightly coloured— The same colour as human flesh.” |
いつより生まれて いつよりその身を落とした それは何れも内より出でたもの 血の味を覚えて |
itsu yori umarete itsu yori sono mi o otoshita sore wa izure mo uchi yori oideta mono chi no aji o oboete |
When was I born? And when did I leave my human body behind? Both answers came from within. I remember the taste of blood. |
深山は深く 大江山に あれらが居所となり |
miyama wa fukaku ooe-yama ni arera ga idokoro to nari |
Mount Ooe, Deep in the mountains, Became my dwelling. |
わたるたづきも絶えてなお この身よ 生きねばならぬ 何に替えようと |
watarutadzuki mo taete nao kono mi yo ikineba naranu nani ni kaeyou to |
There is no way of life left, But my body must still persist No matter what I become. |
いかないかな兵とて 人の子なれば 皆 同じことよ 鬼の居ぬ間にその心 砕け いずこへいざなわれるのか にどとうきよにかえれぬか |
ikanai kana tsuwamono tote hito no ko nareba mina onaji ko to yo oni no inu ma ni sono kokoro kudake izu ko e izana wareru no ka nido to ukiyo ni kaerenu ka |
No matter what kind of soldiers they may be, All humans are the same. While the Oni are away, their hearts [1] Break. Where have they been invited to? Will they never return to this transient world? |
あなかま 口を噤め その腕のあって尚 人情あるものを失わず |
anakama kuchi o tsugume sono ude no atte nao hito no kokoro aru mono o ushinawazu |
Be silent! Hold your tongue! Because of that arm of mine, I will not lose my humanity. |
そのなりわいして けして人には似ぬこと ならばそのわざ照らすはあおあおと 人の魂の色にも似て |
sono nariwai shite keshite hito ni wa ninu koto naraba sono waza terasu wa ao ao to hito no tama no iro ni mo nite |
“Adopting such a lifestyle Was certainly her attempt to mimic humans. Thus, the verdure illuminating her deeds Surely resembled even the colour of human souls.” |
その昔には 人に畏れられては されどいつしか人の手にかかって あああの鋼の音 |
sono mukashi ni wa hito ni osorerarete wa saredo itsushika hito no te ni kakatte aa ano hagane no oto |
In the past, I was feared by humans. However, before I knew it, I had placed myself in their power. Listen to those metallic sounds… |
あれなるは遠く 羅城門に 今宵の愚かしきもの |
areraru wa tooku rajoumon ni koyoi no orokashiki mono |
Before the distant gates, Rajomon, The foolish ones gather tonight… |
わたるたづきを得てもなお この身は 生きねばいけぬ 何に替えねば |
wataru tadzuki o ete mo nao kono mi wa ikineba ikenu nan ni kaeneba |
Though I am able make a living, I must live inside that body. No matter what I become. |
いかないかな理さえ 人の子なれば 皆 同じことよ 鬼の居ぬ間はこの心 力け いずこへといざなうものぞ ひとをくらうがさだめなり |
ikanai kana kotowari sae hito no ko nareba mina onaji ko to yo oni no inu ma wa kono kokoro ryokuke izu ko e to izanau mono zo hito o kurauga sadame nari |
No matter what kind of principle it may be, It applies equally to all humans. While the Oni are here, this heart of mine Begins to move. O, those who are led away! Eating humans is the law of things. |
あなかま 口を噤め その腕の痛みして 人情あるものを失わず |
akanama kuchi o tsugume sono ude no itami shite hito no kokoro aru mono o ushinawazu |
Be silent! Hold your tongue! I feel pain in my arm And I do not lose my humanity. |
人はみな そのこころのうちなる 鬼をみて 恐れおののく |
hito wa mina sono kokoro no uchinaru oni o mite osore ononoku |
All humans gaze upon the Oni resting within them And tremble in fear. |
鬼はみな そのこころのうちなる 人をみて されども人に戻れず |
oni wa mina sono kokoro no uchinaru hito o mite saredomo hito ni modorezu |
All Oni gaze upon the human resting within them Though they cannot regain human form. |
いかないかな物語も 鬼の子なれば 皆 同じことよ 人の居ぬ間に討たれなん 風け いずこへといずこなれども このあるところ天の道 |
ikanai kana monogatari mo oni no ko nareba mina onaji ko to yo hito no inu ma ni utare nan hibike izu ko e to izu konaredomo kono aru tokoro ten no michi |
All Oni are the same, No matter what legends one considers. When the humans were there, they would have been defeated. Resound! No matter where it may be, The path I am on is the heavenly path. |
あなかま 口を噤め その腕を戻しても 人情あるものを失わぬよう |
anakama kuchi o tsugume sono ude o modoshite mo hito no kokoro aru mono o ushinawanu you |
Be silent! Hold your tongue! I pray that, even if I restore my arm, I will not lose my humanity. |
斃せ 鬼の声を 未だ続く鬼退治 人情あるものを失わぬよう |
taose oni no koe o imada tsudzuku oni-taiji hito no kokoro aru mono o ushinawanu you |
Kill! The voices of Oni resound. Their extermination yet continues… I pray so I will not lose my humanity. |
