Urami Bushi [怨み節] (Bitter Melody / aka Grudge Song)

花よきれいと おだてられ
咲いてみせれば すぐ散らされる
馬鹿な バカな バカな女の 怨み節

Hanayo kireito odaterare
Saitte misereba sugu chiraseraru
Baka-na Baka-na Baka-na onna-no urami bushi

The flower, if it is pretty, becomes flattered
(Then) If it shows itself in full blossom, soon its petals are scattered
Foolish! Foolish! Foolish woman's bitter melody.

さだめ哀しと あきらめて
泣きをみせれば また泣かされる
女 おんな 女の涙の 怨み節

Sadane kanashito akiramete
Naki o misereba mata nakasareru
Onna onna onna-no namida-no urami bushi

If fate is harsh, you must accept it
If you show yourself crying, you will be forced to cry again
A Woman, a woman, a woman's tears' bitter melody*

-----------

憎いくやしい 許せない
消すない消えない 忘れられない
つきぬつきぬ つきぬ女の怨み節

Nikui kuyashii yursenai
kesunai kisenai wasurarenai
Tsukinu tsukinu tsukinu onna-no urami bushi

This hateful regret, I cannot forgive
It is not erased. I does not disappear. I cannot forget it.
Pierced through, pierced through. Pierced through woman's bitter melody.

-----------

夢よ未練と わらわれて
さめてみせます まださめきれぬ
女おんな 女ごころの 怨み節

Yuumei-yo mirento warawarete
Samete misemasu mada samekireru
Onna onna onna gokoro-no urami bushi

When dreams bring lingering regret, laugh
If they appear while you're awake, don't close your eyes
A woman, a woman, a woman's heart's bitter melody

-----------

真赤なバラにゃ トゲがある
刺したかないが 刺さずにゃおかぬ
燃えるもえる 燃える女の 怨み節

Makka-na bara-nya toge ga aru
Sashitaka naiga sasazu nya okanu
Moeru moeru moeru onna-no urami bushi

The most brilliantly red rose has many thorns
If the (thorn's) wound was not deep, it was not fate to wound deeply
Burning, burning. Burning woman's bitter melody.

-----------

死んで花実が 咲くじゃなし
怨み一筋 生きて行く
女おんな 女いの命の 怨み節

Shinde hanami** ga saku jyanashi
Urami hitosuji ikite iku
Onna onna onna-no inochi-no urami bushi

The dying fruit of the flower*, it can no longer bloom
In blind bitterness it lives out its days
A woman, a woman, a woman's life's bitter melody.
