駑馬先之 (Doba Senno)

==Lyrics==
Japanese 	Romaji 	English
鰾膠も無く　追い越されていた 	nibe mo naku oikosarete ita 	I was mercilessly outstripped.
何時の間に　胸が騒がしい 	itsu no ma ni mune ga sawagashii 	At what point did my heart start beating out of my chest?
なあ　此処迄と　言われた様だ 	naa koko made to iwareta you da 	It’s like I was told, “Hey, just until here!”
常の栄枯に騙る術も無く 	tsune no eiko ni kataru sube mo naku 	I don’t even have a way of speaking to these eternal ups and downs.
 	 	
何時からか　前を向く事が 	itsu kara ka mae o muku koto ga 	For some time now, facing ahead has been something
出来なくて　出来たくなくて 	dekinakute dekitakunakute 	That I can’t do, nor do I want to be able to do it.
明白地に　花を束ねて 	akarasamachi ni hana o tabanete 	I bundled up flowers on the unadorned earth
唐紅の衣　携えた 	karakurenai no koromo tazusaeta 	And carried crimson clothes around with me.
 	 	
儚くも　無常の常が 	hakanaku mo mujou no tsune ga 	Even if it’s fleetingly, this impermanent permanence
蝕み続ける　因果 	mushibamitsuzukeru inga 	Goes on gnawing away at my karma.
其れも又　無常であると 	sore mo mata mujou de aru to 	When I realized that even that too
気付いた頃には　もう 	kizuita koro ni wa mou 	Was impermanent, by then...
 	 	
老いた麒麟は駑馬にも劣ると 	oita kirin wa doba ni mo otoru to 	I was told, I was told that even a racehorse will grow old
言われて　言われて 	iwarete iwarete 	And be overtaken by a lazier colt,
臍を噛んだ 	hozo o kanda 	And I sure did eat crow!
逃れる事の無い　時の流れに 	nogareru koto no nai toki no nagare ni 	There’s no escaping. The racehorse is going in circles
麒麟は　空回り 	kirin wa karamawari 	In the flow of time,
成れの果て 	nare no hate 	A shadow of its former self.
 	 	
寄る辺なく　日々が過ぎていた 	yorube naku hibi ga sugite ita 	I had no one to turn to, but my days kept passing.
何時の間に　ちいと恨めしい 	itsu no ma ni chiito urameshii 	At what point will I not be able to bear anything more
泣き顔さえ　此以上は 	nakigao sae kore ijou wa 	Than the sight of your tearful, slightly reproachful face?
目も当てられぬ事を知るべきだ 	me mo aterarenu koto o shirubeki da 	I ought to know the answer to that.
 	 	
其の価値よ　価値よ　何処迄も 	sono kachi yo kachi yo doko made mo 	Value, value, don’t disappear anywhere,
消えないで　消えないで居て 	kienaide kienaide ite 	Don’t disappear, stay right here!
なあ　狭すぎる　此の世界で 	naa semasugiru kono sekai de 	“Hey,” the gentians tell me, “in this world
急いては事を仕損じる　竜胆 	isoite wa koto o shisonjiru rindou 	That’s all too cramped, haste makes waste.”
 	 	
憚るは　無情の罠と 	habakaru wa mujou no wana to 	Having scruples is a trap of impermanence
偽り続ける　神話 	itsuwaritsuzukeru shinwa 	And a myth that keeps on telling falsehoods.
其れも又　虚構であると 	sore mo mata kyokou de aru to 	Without realizing that even that too
気付かずに　駑馬は　歩む 	kizukazu ni doba wa ayumu 	Is a fiction, the lazier colt ambles along.
 	 	
凪いだ水面は自ずと姿を 	naida minamo wa onozu to sugata o 	The calm surface of the water reflects, reflects
映して　映して 	utsushite utsushite 	My figure all by itself,
初めまして 	hajimemashite 	So I tell it, “Nice to meet you.”
もう枯れる事の無い花の鬘を 	mou kareru koto no nai hana no kazura o	The racehorse will feel pity for the rest of time
麒麟は　慈しむ 	kirin wa itsukushimu 	Towards the wig of flowers
何時迄も 	itsu made mo 	That will never wilt again.
 	 	
老いた麒麟は駑馬にも劣ると 	oita kirin wa doba ni mo otoru to 	When the old racehorse is overtaken by the lazier colt,
諦め　諦め 	akirame akirame 	I give up, I give up, and I’m overcome
情緒纏綿 	joushotenmen 	With a wave of tender emotion.
逃れる事の無い　時の流れに 	nogareru koto no nai toki no nagare ni 	There’s no escaping. The racehorse simply gallops along
麒麟は　唯駆ける 	kirin wa tada kakeru 	In the flow of time,
何処迄も 	doko made mo 	To the ends of the earth.
