Mononoke
Wolf girl
With hair of soil,
Heart of flame;
Trapped in a cage of silence
Your mother and brothers
With blood of wolves
And yet, you are human
You fight against man
For their terrible ways
Destroying your forest
With poisoned fire
But they are your kind
Protector of the forest,
Of the kodama,
Of the animals,
Of the trees that cry
As they fall to their death
Princess of beasts, ghosts, and gouls
Waving your wolf fang spear,
Bravely,
Foolishly,
Spilling the blood of the one
You will come to love
Releasing a battle cry
Like a heartless berserker-
A man subdued by the power of war
Listen to the boy with
The Demon's curse
Only he will stand above
This foolish war
Between the Gods of the forest
And the Tatara clan
He who bears the black mark of death
And a scar from your painted blade
He who will protect you
With his life
Mononoke-hime,
Princess of beasts,
Rise above the flames of hell
Kanashimi to ikari ni hisomu makoto no kokoro wo
Thy true heart hides behind the sorrow and anger
