OKICHI-SAN Lyrics

Sunlight shining Kyoko-san

Shades her face behind her fan

Silk kimono, amber comb

Geisha Kyoko-san's alone

Moving through the willow leaves

Past the tea house trees

Preparing for the evening play

Kyoko-san would please

In Shimoda geisha-san

Tells of lost Okichi-san

Taken from the geisha place

To a foreign cold embrace

Bound in duty to perform

Okichi-san was torn

Unhappy Okichi-san lived a life forlorn

In Shimoda geisha Kyoko-san is resting

Lost Okichi-san geisha Kyoko-san

Different as two can be

Sighing

In Shimoda Gefu lanterns glow this evening

Through the paper screen

Painted candle's light

Soft against the perfect night sky

In Shimoda poor Okichi-san is sleeping

Dreams of blossom trees

Heavy on the ground

Scented petals falling so soft

Through the paper screen

Painted candle's light

Soft against the perfume night sky
