[MOTORBREATHYAJAS]

La nieve cae como si estuviese de luto por la mañana muerta,

Los aullidos de un perro callejero y los pasos de Geta atraviesan el silencio.

[MOTORBREATHYAJAS]

Camina con el peso de la Vía Láctea sobre sus hombros,

Pero lo único que tiene es un parasol que abraza la oscuridad.

La mujer que camina por el camino de la vida

Dejó atrás sus lágrimas hace mucho tiempo.

[MOTORBREATHYAJAS]

En el río que hay ante ella ve cómo desaparecen en la distancia los faroles de los viajeros,

Las grullas heladas que no se mueven, el viento y la lluvia que caen,

Su pelo sin arreglar, reflejado sobre la congelada superficie,

Y un único parasol, pero ni una sola lágrima.

La mujer que camina por el camino de la venganza

Dejó atrás sus sentimientos hace mucho tiempo.

[MOTORBREATHYAJAS]

Justicia y compasión, lágrimas y sueños,

Ayer y hoy, palabras que ya no la confinan.

La mujer que se dejó arrastrar por el río de la venganza

Se dejó a si misma atrás hace mucho tiempo.

[muscldmechanic]

Konnichiwa Nihon

Konnichiwa Kaji Meiko.... from Albania

Arigato...for beautifoul music

[orangemikan2]

Snow falls like a funeral for the dead morning.

Stray dogs howl in the distance as she walks,

Weighted down by karma, geta scuffing on the ground,

A solitary bulls-eye umbrella, embracing the dark.

The woman who walks this path in life gave her tears up long ago.

[orangemikan2]

In the river before her, she sees travelers' lanterns fade into the distance,

The frozen cranes unmoving, wind and weeping rain

Her hair undone, reflected on the chilly surface,

A solitary bulls-eye umbrella, but not a single tear.

The woman who walks the path of vengeance gave her feelings up long ago.

[orangemikan2]

Justice and mercy, tears and dreams,

Yesterday and tomorrow, words that have no hold upon her now.

The woman who gives herself to the river of vengeance

Gave herself up long ago.

[dantes208]

What is she singing about?

[XxqMALANDRINpxX]

esta chida esta rola.. me late su voz de esta cantante... h visto algunas cintas de ella la verdad muya ceptables

[kbar111cav]

My japanese is limited, but she says basically she has no more feeling, and she wants revenge. something about love gone bad. Maybe someone else can do better.

[supermihika]

i cant describe how much i love ths song eventhough i cant understand the lang but can feel it from emotional contact

[Shinnahayashi]

Beautiful Song .. Love it!!!

[Japan4Lovers]

[ROSASALVAJE82]

Meiko made me a fan of japanese music.I even managed to find this album of hers,the one with this spesific cover!

[krotalhn]

can someone PLEASE translate this awesome tune ::)

[benkesser]

@krotalhn ......pt1

Begrieving snow falls in the dead morning

Stray dog's howls and the footsteops of Geta pierce the air

I walk with the weight of the Milky Way on my shoulders

But an umbrella that holds onto the darkness is all there is.I'm a woman who walks at the brink of life and death

Who's emptied my tears many moons ago.

All the compassion tears and dreams

The snowy nights and tomorrow hold no meaning

I've immersed my body in the river of venegance......

[benkesser]

@krotalhn ....pt2

And thrown away my womanhood many moons ago

On the behalf of heaven, they're our soldiers, the loyal, invincible and brave.

Now it's time for them to leave the country of their

Parents their hearts buoyed by encouraging voices.

They are solemnly resolved not to return alive, without victory.

Here at home, the citizens wait for you.

In foreign lands, the brave troops

[benkesser]

@krotalhn ....pt3

Instead of kindness from someone

I do not care about

I rather prefer selifshness from you my beloved.

Oh, it the world a dream or an illusion?

I am all alone in jail.

[csteuart]

Beautiful. This type of music is so reminiscent of living in Japan and understanding the sentiment without understanding the language.

[easyrider964]

PERFECT......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[easyrider964]

A legendary singer, a legendary movie, and a legendary song. PERFECTION.

[jairitoelmono]

AWSOME SONG I LOVE IT

[ThisIzWeezyF]

cool song

[dbarroga]

This song originally came out for the movie "Lady Snowblood" Which Search Results Quentin Tarantino got the idea for Kill Bill from.

[EqsStr]

Loves it! great song.

[Druworos]

WIsh i could give it more than 5 stars.

[Cemmie]

Beautiful music, and a wonderful singer!!

[pure0pwnage]

oh Gee, the song's name is flower of carnage

[KURAITENSA]

An 'Original' Kaji Meiko 'Shurayukihime' Classic.

[cosyak3]

You geek, that's no kill bill clasic, that's a classic song added as a soundtrack to the movie

[lucyc66]

Such a beautiful song. I have absolutely no idea what words she's singing, but the music is so tragic, and sad, and beautiful. I should look for a translation.

[YoungBelaLugosi]

@lucyc66

[ValExperimenter]

The part about the soldiers is not from this song there is a song with similar words at the opening of lady snowblood "love song of vengeance"

At the start "dead morning" is dead as in death not quiet or still,

[YoungBelaLugosi]

You're correct !

i wrote the lilycs of another song.

'Shindeita Asa Ni' =' in the mornig when someone died'??? maybe.

[ValExperimenter]

The song writer was interviewed and his comment was that he was not happy with the opening line. My translation but it sounds bad is

On the morning of death fell snow of grievance.

The other song is from what is often referred to as lady snowblood 2 in which there is a scene of soldiers marching off to war singing this.

[YoungBelaLugosi]

i agree with your good translations!

To tell the truth,i've never watched Shura No Hana-2(Urami Koi Uta)......

By the way,why do you know Japanese language very very well ?

[ValExperimenter]

I learnt Japanese (nihongo) at high school and I have visited Japan a few times over the years. My Japanese skills are poor but I am familiar with the culture and proof reading English documents written by Japanese native speakers. The 2nd film is IMHO not as striking as the first even so Yuki still spends plenty of time carving up guys like she was swatting flies.

[YoungBelaLugosi]

Naruhodo !

in Kill Bill,Sonny Chiba said that ''Nihongo wa sekai de ichiban muzukashii ''

[DeathWarrant90]

en skikkelig snasen sang d her :D

[DivyaPreity4ever]

jeg elsker den...

[oztuerk]

If everybody hate you, you have to change yourself, you have to talk about it with everybody. Maybe you have to change your friends...

[IkanaiOnagaiCHU95]

lol omg this song is from kill bill awsome!

[pauleuro16]

it sounds like saint seiya's soundtrack too

[karenshoney]

this is such a sad and beatiful song. Even more so when you know what it means.

[wurst205]

i would like to know what it means hmmm

i wanna start learning japanese do you know how long it takes to learn it ? because i heard and can imagine that its not that easy xD

[DeathWarrant90]

wurst205 if you want to learn Japanese or any other language so you can use it in conversation, then you must be prepared to spend a lot of time and effort learning it...how long it will take to succeed is entirely up to you :)

[DaWanderer]

want to learn to speak Japanese one day. strong language. very deep

[LilouParker]

so great language japanese

[annitanguera]

To κρασάκι του Τσου!

:-D

[AlexisBux]

[ketevan82]

full of hope and peace and sadness.

[Kalypso1323]

God I love this song. I don't understand a word of it, though....just goes to show how universal music really is.

[avi530]

[TorreDegliAngeli]

HAHAHAHA

[kalmarhaz]

Nagyon szép zene.Igazi Japán érzelem!

[RAvery41]

I do not recall tarentino acknowledging Kaji Meiko at all in his Kill Bill, he actually gave credit to Chinese Kung Fu movies for his inspiration yet he copied Lady Snowblood, pretty much all the way through, he just changed the backdrop.

Kaji Meiko is and was awesome.

[cr0wl3y]

True - script, direction, photography are are carbon copy of Lady Snowblood while characters a blend between Lady Snowblood and the Scorpion series. Kaji's films are remarkable, despite their notably lower budget.

[killbill402]

Kill bill is taken from many different things. If you watch the ''making of kill bill'' on the kill bill dvd lady snowblood is clearly mentioned.

[Yupiyeahs]

@killbill402 It'd be hard to not mention it, considering the fact that an insane number of scenes have been adopted from Shurayuki-hime.

[pdogone1]

ur correct the song is shura no hana flower of carnage from my favorite meiko movie lady snowblood ..tarentino acknowledge his debt to this movie and others from this genre in japan for kill bill

[ocomplobrasil]

o melhor song.....wow!!!

[bananasupreme]

What is this translation from IXApolloXI? It's completely off. There is nothing at all in the song about "brave troops" or "the brink of life and death." I have no idea how this person got it so wrong.

[IXApolloXI]

It is always difficult to translate from one language to another due to grammar and composure of words. if you are or if you speak Japanese please translate... i will post the words for you.....what i have posted is a rough translation.

[SecretIVUIIHear]

Well banana split, I don't see you giving your best at enlightening us even a little here... Sumimasen for my disrespectful rudeness but maybe you could help us understand the missed context in a more constructive manner instead of throwing-up your darkening despise on the ignorant gaijins here!

[unspaniard]

Thank you IXApolloXI for the translation.

Beautiful.

[ReturnOfJackDawson]

Can anyone tell me what this song is about please? It's beautiful. I heard it in Kill Bill.

[VincentPennyworth]

It's a theme song of a movie adaftation of Koike Kazuo named Lady Snowblood. Kaji Meiko played the title character and sang this song at the credit of the film (if I'm not mistaken) :D

[IXApolloXI]

She is old now but she is still Beautiful...

watashi wa Girisha jin ....
