逢魔が時　ひぐらしが告ぐ 	oumagatoki higurashi ga tsugu 	In twilight, the evening cicadas call.
飼い馴らした傀儡が選ぶその目は誰？ 	kainarashita kairai ga erabu sono me wa dare? 	Who do the eyes the tamed puppet chooses belong to?
 	 	
「まあちゃんちゃらおかしな口承」 	"maa chanchara okashi na koushou" 	"My, what a laughable tale!"
災禍の凶兆をご覧よ 	saika no kyouchou o goran yo 	Gaze upon the dark omen of disaster!
夥しい蝶の死骸が参道に散らばっていた 	obitadashii chou no shigai ga sandou ni chirabatte ita 	Swarms of dead butterfliesIn Shintoism, it was believed that butterflies are possessed by souls of the dead who take this form to visit their still-living friends and relatives. They were also thought to be objects of spiritual communication, like the Hell Butterflies in BLEACH. lay scattered along the path to the shrine.
 	 	
掻い潜った市街の喧騒 	kaikugutta shigai no kensou 	I slipped through the bustle of the streets,
境内から響いた嚮導 	keidai kara hibiita kyoudou 	guided by an echo from the temple grounds.
灯籠　石畳の階段 	tourou ishidatami no kaidan 	The young woman steps past the hanging lanterns,

鬼の声は聞こえず 	oni no koe wa kikoezu 	I can’t hear the seeker’s reply.The seeker in hide-and-seek, though called “It” in the western world, is called the 鬼 (the ”ogre”) in Japanese.
静寂裂く鐘の音さえも届かない 	seijaku saku kane no ne sae mo todokanai 	Not even the sound of the tolling bell ripping through the silence reaches me.
 	 	
「嗚呼、かしこみ　かしこみ…」 	"aa, kashikomi kashikomi…" 	"Ahh, I am in awe, I am in awe…"This is a phrase used in Shintoism to show reverence to the gods. It doesn’t translate exactly; it’s more of a sentiment than a strictly definable word.
手弱女の聲と火の音が籟籟と 	taoyame no koe to hi no ne ga rairai to 	The graceful young woman’s voice and the crackling of the fire faintly sound.
 	 	
「懸けまくも畏き大御神」 	"kakemaku mo kashikoki oomikami" 	"You whose very name is too awesome to speak aloud, great God,"Though I was unable to decipher the original archaic Japanese here, I was thankfully able to find a translation in modern Japanese.
