The Melancholy Princess

Lyrics: Yukinojou Mori
Composition & Arrangement: Yukihiro Takahashi & Keiichi Suzuki

Donhyara, pihyara
In the sleepless city, tired of reveling, I feel melancholic
I head to the misty city in a "car" imported from Europe
Concealing my status, dancing in disarray, I'm in clothes with my bosom exposed
I add more retainers, how amusing it is to compose of the love in Genroku Emaki¹
Eventually the sky will dawn
And the traveler scatters in the wind

Donhyara, pihyara
I sleep and am alone. I too was born a lost soul
Donhyara, pihyara
In the pain of being unable to sleep, someone please hold my heart

Crossing over to a foreign island and seeking VUITTON
we experienced "work" and tasted "adultery"
My companion's a deputy or a doctor, a high ranking one. All while our true nature frets in gold-brocaded dreams
Just how many more years
will I be called princess?

Donhyara, pihyara
In the sleepless city, tired of reveling, I feel melancholic
Donhyara, pihyara
I sleep and am alone. I too was born a lost soul
Donhyara, pihyara
In the pain of being unable to sleep, someone please hold my heart

* [1] - I believe this might be referring to the book. However, it may be referring to emaki (picture scrolls) from the Genroku era.

Donhyara piihyara
Nemuranu miyako ukare akite warawa wa yuuutsu ja
Nanbantorai no "kaa" de kasumi no machi e
Mibun kakushi midarete maiodoru munamoto arawa na koromo
Kerai wo fuyashi Genroku emaki no koi wo tsuzurite okashuu mo
Yagate sora wa akebono
Tabibito wa kaze ni chiri yukite

Donhyara piihyara
Nemureba hitori umareochite warawa mo mayoibito
Donhyara piihyara
Nemurenu itami dareka kokoro daitete kureryanse

Ikoku no shima nimo watari miyage wo motome
"Shigoto" wo name "furin" wo dokumi shita
Aite wa daikan ka isha takaki kurai no kinrandonsu no yume ni sugao wa aseritsutsu
Hatashite ato ikutoshi
Himegimi to yobareru no jarou?

Donhyara piihyara
Nemuranu miyako ukare akite warawa wa yuuutsu ja
Donhyara piihyara
Nemureba hitori umareochite warawa mo mayoibito
Donhyara piihyara
Nemurenu itami dareka kokoro daitete kureryanse
