Translation of the song かぐや姫 (Kaguya-hime) [The Bamboo Princess] artist Wednesday Campanella

青々と

Lushly,

真新しい芽が萌える

A pure, new shoot is sprouting,

命の螺旋の先

The tip of the helix of life.

竹が割れる音が

The sound of bamboo breaking is

時空の旅の終着報らせ

The sign of the end of a journey through space-time

光を放ちて

A glowing light

どこから来たのかどこへ行くのか

Where did you come from? Where are you going?

すくすくと

Growing quickly,

不死身の肉体を

On the night of the full moon

十五夜が呼びもどす

Her immortal flesh is called to return,

竹のようにまっすぐ

And, like bamboo, upright,

透き徹る目

Her transparent eyes

思いだしたのは

Then remember

月の都の歌

The song of the moon kingdom

弓矢は届かずに空切って

Her bow and arrows hit no mark, but cleave the sky
