飛弾の匠と 言われる日まで
二度と木曽路の 地は踏まぬ
広い世間を 敵(かたき)に回し
頑固一徹 通した意気地(いきじ)
棄てて修行の 棄てて修行の
旅に出る

樵(きこり)三年 山出し二年
年季半(ねんきなか)ばじゃ 未だ雛(ひよこ)
屋根が傾く 掘っ立て小屋で
修羅のすがたで 仏像(ほとけ)をつくる
山岳(やま)の行者(ぎょうじゃ)の 山岳の行者の
技を見た

肌で覚えた 職人芸の
真の値打ちは 侘びと寂
固い檜の 一枚板に
彫って見せるぜ 命を懸けて
天下無双の 天下無双の
昇り竜

Hidano takumito iwareru himade
Nidoto kisojino chiwa fumanu
Hiroi sekenwo katakini mawashi
Ganko ittetsu tōshita ikiji
Sutete shugyōno sutete shugyōno

Kikori san'nen yamadashi ninen

Katai hinokino ichimai'itani
Hotte miseruze inochiwo kakete
Tenkamusōno tenkamusōno

Until the day I'm called Hida's master craftsman
I won't step on to the grounds of Kisoji*
I turn the entire world against me
Pride forced through by bulldog tenacity
Throw out and train, throw out and train
By going on a journey

Woodcutting three years, yamadashi** two years
Counting the years of apprenticeship, (I'm) still a greenhorn
The roof leans one way, at the shanty
With an appearance of an Asura, I make a Buddha
The mountain ascetic's, the mountain ascetic's
I saw his waza***

Learned by practice, the craftsmanship's
The true value is wabi and sabi****
A board made from the hard Japanese cypress
I will carve it, placing my life on the line
A peerless, a peerless
Rising dragon

*Kisoji is another name for Nakasendō, one of the two paths that connected Edo to Kyoto.
** Yamadashi is someone who carries goods from the mountain to villages.
***Waza means art and technique.
****Wabi and sabi represents a Japanese way to view the world based on the accepting imperfection and accepting the fact that nothing lasts for ever.
