Bamboo Moon - The Mutants

Once upon a time there was an old man

He went gathering firewood in the mountains

And came upon a big bamboo dazzling in the woods

He split the bamboo

A beautiful girl appeared

Pale as moonlight

Pale as moonlight

Kawaii otokotachi ga sukina yureru kemuri

Tsukino akogareta anohi no kotoha wasuretesa

I wish I could be free but that’s just a dream

Floating like a paper balloon, not trapped in a cage

Dama no kanzashi ochi, kurukuru mawaru kazaguruma

Tsuyu no ame ni nurete furete mitaiwa ten no mukou

I long to return to the moon

I wanted a place to stay but, I think, I like it here too

When men lust for me, I feel so happy

Kizu wo nameau nara, yurushite agetemo ii

Hoshii mono nado atai ni wa nai
