| In search of new lands, I build a new house I thatch the house with reed stalks, gathered neatly in bundles I thatch the house with reed stalks, gathered neatly in bundles At the stone wall, let us celebrate the golden house, that was built by a hundred carpenters. At the stone wall, let us celebrate the golden house, that was built by a hundred carpenters. Let us celebrate the golden house, that was built by a hundred carpenters. August is fast approaching, and yet I have nothing to wear I want to dress up, so brother, will you lend me just one sleeve? I wish to dress my children and loved ones… in the one kimono that I own As for me, I will wear vines… that I plucked deep in the mountains The light of the harvest moon shines down, illuminating the world with its divine light When my lover sneaks in to visit me, I wish that the clouds would hide that light just a little.
