Paroles de Okichi-San

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
