Original	Romanized	Translation
親知らず　子知らず　誰知らず	oya shirazu ko shirazu dare shirazu	Parents do not know, children do not know, no one knows
あちらこちら　ゆらりゆららふれ そしてまたしらないあしおとひとつふえた	achira kochira yurari yurara fure soshite mata shiranai ashioto hitotsu fueta	Here and there, they flutter all about And then, a single pair of footprints appears
あれもこれも　だれにもいわぬよう こわいこわいだれかのみみにとどかぬよう	are mo kore mo dare ni mo iwanu you kowai kowai dareka no mimi ni todokanu you	This and that, without telling anyone at all So scared, scared, so that it wouldn't reach anyone's ears
親知らず　子知らず　誰知らず	oya shirazu ko shirazu dare shirazu	Parents do not know, children do not know, no one knows
だれもしらない　なにもしらない　けれどひとはいきていく――	dare mo shiranai nani mo shiranai keredo hito wa ikiteiku	No one knows, they know nothing at all, and yet people continue to live
――そこゆくあの子は何処の子ぞ？	soko yuku ano ko wa doko no ko zo?	That kid over there, where are they from?
――そこゆくあの子は誰の子ぞ	soko yuku ano ko wa dare no ko zo?	That kid over there, whose is it?
知らぬは　はや口塞げ 知らぬは　はや目を瞑れ	shiranu wa haya guchi fusage shiranu wa haya me wo tsubure	I do not know. Quickly, I shut my mouth I do not know. Quickly, I close my eyes
――そこゆくあの子はいつの子ぞ	soko yuku ano ko wa itsu no ko zo?	That kid over there, since when are they here?
――そこゆくあの子は何の子ぞ？	soko yuku ano ko wa nan' no ko zo?	That kid over there, what are they?
知らぬは　問うこと勿れ――いたずらに。	shiranu wa tou koto nakare itazura ni.	I do not know. I dare not to ask--quite mischievously
けして叶わぬ夢を抱く それが叶わぬ夢などなく けして続くものなどはなく それが続かぬ道理はなく	keshite kanawanu yume wo idaku sore ga kanawanu yume nado naku keshite tsuzuku mono nado wa naku sore ga tsuzukanu doori wa naku	They hold their unattainable dreams But those dreams aren't unattainable at all Their lives aren't ones that wouldn't go on They won't cease to go on as one might expect
けれども生まれるモノこそは だれかの血の中に	keredo mo umareru mono koso wa dareka no chi no naka ni	And their lives continue Flowing in someone else's blood
けして分からぬものなどなく それは分かるものなどでなく けして潰えぬものなどなく それは潰えるものではなく	keshite wakaranu mono nado naku sore wa wakaru mono nado de naku keshite tsuienu mono nado naku sore wa tsuieru mono de wa naku	They aren't incomprehensible beings Those aren't things easily comprehended Their lives aren't ones that would be wiped out Those aren't things that would be wiped out
そうして見渡す雑踏に だれかに続くもの	soushite miwatasu zattou ni dareka ni tsuzuku mono	And they will continue Somewhere inside this crowd
その手取る覚悟をもて 足を踏みやるがいい 何も畏れぬものに それは微笑むだろう	sono te toru kakugo wo mote ashi wo fumiyaru ga ii nani mo osorenu mono ni sore wa hohoemu darou	As long as you're prepared It's okay to stomp your feet Those not afraid anything They smile, don't they?
さあさ　ここぞ夢の国よ けしてつづかぬもの (【妖】) 達が その命続かせていく　それ――幾多満ちていく。	saa sa koko zo yume no kuni yo keshite tsudzukanu mono ("ayakashi") -tachi ga sono inochi tsudzukasete iku sore――ikuta michite iku.	Now, now! Here lies the Land of Dreams Those, whose lives wouldn't go on (Youkai) Continue their lives here; this world overflows with them
さあさ　ここぞ夢の国よ けしてわからぬもの (【人】) 達が なお互いわからぬままに　それ――数多満ちていく。	saa sa koko zo yume no kuni yo keshite wakaranu mono ("hito") -tachi ga na otagai wakaranu mama ni sore――amata michite iku.	Now, now! Here lies the Land of Dreams Those, whose would never be understood (Humans) Live here, without understanding each other; this world overflows with them
生きていく 一度生まれた命あるもの 町行く、そは、妖怪小町	ikiteiku ichido umareta inochi aru mono machi yuku, so wa, youkai komachi	They live All sentient being once born here They walk these streets and that is Youkai beauty
皆知らぬそ知らぬ何知らぬ それでもなお誰もが知っている　きっと――	mina shiranu so shiranu nani shiranu sore de mo nao dare mo ga shitteiru kitto	No one knows, no one at all, nothing at all But then again, surely, everyone knows it
誰にも理解されぬ思いを持ち 誰をも理解できぬ心を抱え とびら (戸) 一つ隔てたならその先 深い深い闇がお前に笑いかける	dare ni mo rikai sarenu omoi wo mochi dare wo mo rikai dekinu kokoro wo kakae tobira (to) hitotsu hedatetanara sono saki fukai fukai yami ga omae ni waraikakeru	They feel emotions no one would understand And hold them inside a heart no one can comprehend Beyond that one wall separating you A deep, deep darkness sneers at you!
その目その口その肌 何もかも告げている 人とひとでなきもの (妖) なにが違うものか	sono me sono kuchi sono hada nani mo ka mo tsugete iru hito to hito de naki mono (ayakashi) nani ga chigau mono ka	Your eyes, your mouth, your skin Everything about you tells me: Humans or those not quite (Youkai) ? How do they differ?
さあさ　ここぞ夢の国よ その姿同じなれども その心違はましかば　ほら――あれぞ麗しく！	saa sa koko zo yume no kuni yo sono sugata onaji naredo mo sono kokoro tagawamashikaba hora are zo uruwashiku	Now, now! Here lies the Land of Dreams Their looks might be similar But if the contents of their hearts differ, look- isn't that beautiful!
さあさ　ここぞ夢の国よ その姿異にすれども その心変わらずなれば　ほら――あれぞ美しく！	saa sa koko zo yume no kuni yo sono sugata koto ni suredo mo sono kokoro kawarazunareba hora are zo utsukushiku	Now, now! Here lies the Land of Dreams Their looks might be different But if the contents of their hearts are similar, look- isn't that beautiful!
幻想は 続かないもの続かせるまま 今尚語るむかしばなし	gensou wa tsuzukanai mono tsuzukaseru mama ima nao kataru mukashi banashi	Illusion Allows those who couldn't go on to continue living Even now, I'm still telling this old story!
だから生きていけ 一度生まれた命あるもの 町行く、そは、人妖小町	dakara ikiteike ichido umareta inochi aru mono machi yuku, so wa, jin'you komachi	That's why they live All sentient being once born here They walk these streets and that is Human-Youkai beauty
親知らず　子知らず　誰知らず―――。	oya shirazu ko shirazu dare shirazu	Parents do not know, children do not know, no one knows
