A Well-known Japanese Song called “Moonlight on the Ruined Castle” or “Kojo no Tsuki”

Thursday, March 9th, 2006

John Caughman sent me an mp3 of him singing the first verse of Moonlight on the Ruined Castle. First you’ll hear it in Japanese and then in English. Here’s the mp3 with a Japanese transliteration (so you can read or sing along), the English translation and the Japanese text…

MP3 of Moonlight on the Ruined Castle – Kojo no Tsuki

Kojo no Tsuki

Haru koro no hana no en
Meguru sakazuki kage sashite
Chiyo no matsu ga e wake ideshi
Mukashi no hikari Ima izu ko

Moonlight on the Ruined Castle

Cherry blossoms gracefully bloom o’er the fields that lie,
High up is the castle wall, where have warriors gone?
Where is the moonlight that brightly shone up high,
Shone upon the warriors who drained the glasses dry?

Japanese Text of Kojo no Tsuki

Many thanks to John Caughman for singing this song for us!
