I love this song. It's from the anime Samurai Champloo. Enjoy!

In search of new lands, I build a new house I thatch the house with reed stalks, gathered neatly in bundles I thatch the house with reed stalks, gathered neatly in bundles At the stone wall, let us celebrate the golden house, that was built by a hundred black kites. At the stone wall, let us celebrate the golden house, that was built by a hundred black kites. Let us celebrate the golden house, that was built by a hundred black kites.
The eighth month is fast approaching, and yet I have nothing to wear I want to dress gaily, so brother, will you lend me just one sleeve? I wish to dress my children and loved ones... in the one kimono that I own As for me, I will wear vines... that I plucked deep in the mountains
The light of the full moon shines down, illuminating the world with its divine light When my lover sneaks in to visit me, I wish that the clouds would hide that light just a little.
