  1. 居酒屋里的小神龛 离铺满鹅卵石的玄关

    In the izakaya's small shrine, away from the cobblestone entrance,

  2. 差不多一米宽的信仰 我坐着喝味噌汤

    About a meter wide is my faith, as I sit sipping miso soup.

  3. 在旁观看 庭园假山 京都的夜晚

    Watching aside, the garden rockery, a night in Kyoto.

  4. 有一种 榻榻米 的稻香 叫做禅

    There’s a fragrance of rice on tatami, called Zen.

  5. 那里~神社许愿 闪过一个画面

    Over there~ at the shrine, a wish flashes like a picture.

  6. 这里~忍者蒙着脸 在角落吹暗箭

    Here~ a ninja with a mask, lurking in the corner, shooting in secret.

  7. 心里~幕府又重现

    In my heart~ the shogunate reappears.

  8. 从前老东京那条山手线 像一出怀旧的默片

    Once, the old Tokyo Yamanote line, like a nostalgic silent film.

  1. 喔噫喔~~~ 喔噫喔噫~~~ 嘿~~~

    Oh yeah~~~ oh yeah, oh yeah~~~ hey~~~

  2. 伊贺流忍者的想法 嘿~

    Thoughts of Iga ninjas, hey~

  3. 只会用武士刀比划 嘿~

    Only know how to wield a katana, hey~

  4. 我一个人在家 乖乖的学插花

    I'm home alone, quietly learning to arrange flowers.

  5. (日文:是是是 我知道了)

    (Japanese: Yes, yes, yes, I got it)

  6. (日文:一二三四)

    (Japanese: One, two, three, four)

  7. 樱花落满地 有一种神秘 凝结了空气

    Cherry blossoms fall all around, a mystique that hangs in the air.

  8. (日文:一二三四)

    (Japanese: One, two, three, four)

  9. 黑夜里偷袭 去攻击 烟雾当武器

    In the night, sneaking in to attack, using smoke as a weapon.

  10. (日文:一二三四)

    (Japanese: One, two, three, four)

  11. 忍者的物语 要切断过去 忠心是唯一

    The story of a ninja, to cut off the past, loyalty is the only way.

  12. (日文:一二三四)

    (Japanese: One, two, three, four)

  13. 隐身要彻底 要忘记 什么是自己

    To be invisible is to forget completely, what it means to be oneself.

  14. 居酒屋里的小神龛 离铺满鹅卵石的玄关

    In the tavern, a little shrine stands, away from the stone-paved entrance.

  15. 差不多一米宽的信仰 我坐着喝味噌汤

    A faith about a meter wide, I sit drinking miso soup.

  16. 在旁观看 庭园假山 京都的夜晚

    Watching from the side, the garden’s rocky hill, on a night in Kyoto.

  17. 有一种 榻榻米 的稻香 叫做禅

    There's a certain fragrance of rice on the tatami, it's called Zen.

  18. 那里~神社许愿 闪过一个画面

    There, at the shrine, a wish is cast, a fleeting vision appears.

  19. 这里~忍者蒙着脸 在角落吹暗箭

    Here, a ninja veiled, lurking in the corner, shooting暗箭.

  20. 心里~幕府又重现

    In my heart, the shogunate reappears.

  21. 从前老东京那条山手线 像一出怀旧的默片

    Once upon a time, the Yamanote line of old Tokyo, like a nostalgic silent film.

  22. 喔噫喔~~~ 喔噫喔噫~~~ 嘿~~~

    Oh yay oh~~~ Oh yay oh yay~~~ Hey~~~

  23. 伊贺流忍者的想法 嘿~

    The thoughts of an Iga ninja, hey~

  24. 只会用武士刀比划 嘿~

    Only wielding a sword in practice, hey~

  25. 我一个人在家 乖乖的学插花

    Home alone, I quietly learn floral arrangements

  26. (日文:是是是 我知道了)

    (Japanese: Yes, yes, yes, I got it)

  27. (日文:一二三四)

    (Japanese: One, two, three, four)

  28. 樱花落满地 有一种神秘 凝结了空气

    Cherry blossoms fall to the ground, a kind of mystery, suspended in the air

  29. (日文:一二三四)

    (Japanese: One, two, three, four)

  30. 黑夜里偷袭 去攻击 烟雾当武器

    Sneaking under the night, ready to attack, smoke as my weapon

  31. (日文:一二三四)

    (Japanese: One, two, three, four)

  32. 忍者的物语 要切断过去 忠心是唯一

    The tale of the ninja, cutting off the past, loyalty is all that matters

  33. (日文:一二三四)

    One, two, three, four

  34. 隐身要彻底 要忘记 什么是自己

    To disappear completely, to forget what it means to be oneself.

  35. (日文:一二三四)

    One, two, three, four

  36. 樱花落满地 有一种神秘 凝结了空气

    Cherry blossoms fall like snow, a kind of mystery, binding the air.

  37. (日文:一二三四)

    (Japanese: One two three four)

  38. 黑夜里偷袭 去攻击 烟雾当武器

    In the dark of night, I strike, armed with smoke as my weapon.

  39. (日文:一二三四)忍者的物语

    One, two, three, four, the tale of the ninja

  40. (日文:一二三四)要切断过去

    One, two, three, four, let go of the past

  41. (日文:一二三四)忠心是唯一

    One, two, three, four, loyalty is the one and only

  42. (日文:一二三四)

    One, two, three, four

  43. 噫哟~~~

    Eh-yo~~~
