月　愛慾影絵　夭折　赤口 	tsuki terasu aiyoku kagee yousetsu shakkou 	Moonlight, the shadow of my lust, herI’m going off the theory that he’s (at least in this stanza) speaking from the perspective of the husband of the Hone-Onna in the original, hence her premature death. However, you could get rid of 'her' and have it still be accurate; this is just a theory of mine based on the lyrics. premature death, the unlucky day.赤口, shakkou, refers to the sixth day of the Rokuyo calendar, in which it is believed that day will be unlucky the whole day, except for noon (which is considered to be between 11am-1pm). Read about it more here, if you're interested. However, for simplicity’s sake, I simply translated it as ‘unlucky day’. Literally, it translates to “Red mouth”.
穢　美人薄命　開眼　開眼 	e binjinhakumei gaigen gaigen 	Impurity. The beautiful die young. Enlightenment! Enlightenment!
諸上善人倶会 	shojou zennin ku e isho 	Those reborn in the can meet one another.I’m not sure if this translation explains this well enough, so I’ll add this here to be safe: “Shojou zennin ku e issho” (lit. "Virtuous people meeting together in one place") is a concept within buddhism where, if one is able to go to the Pure Land after death, they will be able to meet all the other Buddhas of the Pure Land.
一生一緒　有言実行 	isshou issho yuugenjikkou 	Throughout this life, we’ll be together. I’ll stand by my word!
玉川上水　入水執行 	tamagawajousui juusui shikkou 	We’ll drown ourselves in the .
一蓮托生　黄泉不 	ichirentakushou yomi fuhi 	We’re both in the same boat! Four, three, two, one!
The kanji here are read like the on’yomi of the characters 4, 3, 2, 1—”Yo, mi, fu, hi”. They most likely don’t have any meaning beyond that, but for the curious, the kanji mean ‘Yomi (Japanese land of the dead)’, and ‘not one’
 	 	
此の侭　月よ沈まぬやうに 	kono mama tsuki yo shizumanu you ni 	I hope that, like this, the moon will not descend.
願えど貴方は居なくなる 	negaedo anata wa inaku naru 	Though I wish, you will leave me.
 	 	
螺鈿の骨まで愛してほしいの 	raden no hone made aishite hoshii no 	I want you to love me to my mother of pearl bones.
白磁の首筋噛み付いて 	hakuji no kubisuji kamitsuite 	Bite at the nape of my neck, white porcelain in colour.
濡羽の黒髪解けるままに 	nureba no kurokami hodokeru mama ni 	With crow-black hair that’s come undone,
