The Rabbit Of The Moon

Hear the tale Of the old man hiding In disguise, dressed up as a beggar He passed by the forest folk That lived there at that time No one knows His own real nature He belongs to the bright, celestial home And in search for food he roames around Look at the sky and see the Moon Feel the magic through the gloom And your eyes will clearly see The bright glowing silver shape Of the big jade rabbit who lives there A sign carved in stone for all to see A reminder for eternity Of the sweetest sacrifice The tale behind this tune Fruit and meat The fox lights the flames just To warm him They offer a shelter and a meal Then gather around him to lend a hand I can collect only some grass It's not enough to give you the strengh And to survive So the rabbit offers himself in sacrifice Look at the sky and see the Moon Feel the magic through the gloom And your eyes will clearly see The bright and glowing silver shape Of the big jade rabbit who lives there A sign carved in stone for all to see A reminder for eternity Of the sweetest sacrifice The tale behind this tune Can you hear his ancient ode? Do you see the gift bestowed? By the Moon Divinity To the kindest living being? Look at the sky and see the Moon... Sora mi aghe tsuki o Look at the sky and see the Moon Feel the magic through the gloom And your eyes will clearly see The bright and glowing silver shape Of the big jade rabbit who lives there A sign carved in stone for all to see A reminder for eternity Of the sweetest sacrifice The tale behind this tune The rabbit on the Moon
