Japanese= はりつめた弓の ふるえる弦よ 月の光にざわめく おまえの心 とぎすまされた 刃の美しい そのきっさきによく似た そなたの横顔 悲しみと怒りにひそむ まことの心を 知るは 森の精 もののけたちだけ もののけたちだけ

The trembling string of a taut bow Your Heart is unsettled by the Moonlight The beauty of a sharp blade Thy profile, very much like its edge Thy true heart hides behind the sorrow and anger The spirits of the forest know it Only the Mononoke Only the Mononoke
