Lyrics:「うらしまたろう」の歌

歌詞

むかしむかし浦島は
助けた亀に連れられて
龍宮城へ来て見れば
絵にもかけない美しさ

乙姫様のごちそうに
鯛やひらめの舞踊り
ただ珍しく面白く
月日のたつのも夢のうち

遊びにあきて気がついて
おいとまごいも　そこそこに
帰る途中の楽しみは
みやげにもらった玉手箱

帰って見れば　こはいかに
元居た家も村も無く
みちに行きあう人々は
顔も知らない者ばかり

心細さに蓋取れば
あけて悔しき玉手箱
中からぱっと白けむり
たちまち太郎はおじいさん

歌：安田みずほ

Lyrics Translation: Urashima Taro

Once upon a time, Urashima
Was led by a rescued turtle
To the Dragon Palace
Where he witnessed an unparalleled beauty

Under Princess Otohime's hospitality
Dances of sea bream and flounder
Simply captivating and amusing
Passing time as if in a dream

Growing weary of leisure
Deciding to leave before long
The joy on the journey back
Was the treasure box received as a gift

Returning home, how surprising
No trace of the old house or village
Encountering people on the road
None of whom he recognized

Feeling desolate, he opened
The frustratingly sealed treasure box
Out from it billowed a white smoke
And in an instant, Tarou became an old man

Song by: Mizuho Yasuda
