火のない所に　煙が立って

火傷（やけど）しそうな　仲になる

三日続きの　雨さえ晴れて

もしや逢えそな　居待（いま）ち月

オコサデオコサデ　ホントダネ

（そいやホントダネ）

惚れて添えない　片割れ月夜

昨日（ゆうべ）はあなたに　手枕されて

今宵どなたの　膝まくら

せめてなりたや　羽織の紐（ひも）に

固く結んで　離れない

オコサデオコサデ　ホントダネ

（そいやホントダネ）

触れたら解（ほど）ける　一夜（ひとよ）の情け

ひとりで待つ身は　お城の池よ

今日も来い来い　明日（あす）も来い

来ないあなたの　面影抱いて

ほろり手酌で　酔うけれど

オコサデオコサデ　ホントダネ

（そいやホントダネ）

夢に酔いたや　見返り小町

Hino nai tokoroni kemuriga tatte

Yakedo shisōna nakani naru

Mikka tsudzukino amesae harete

Moshiya aesona imachidzuki

Okosade okosade hontodane

(Soiya hontodane)

Horete soenai katawarezukiyo

Yūbewa anatani temakurasarete

Koyoi donatano hizamakura

Semete naritaya haorino himoni

Kataku musunde hanarenai

Okosade okosade hontodane

Furetara hodokeru hitoyono nasake

Hitoride matsu miwa oshirono ikeyo

Kyōmo koi koi asumo koi

Where there is no fire, smoke rises

We become acquaintances who almost scald (each other)

Even a three day rain turns into a sunny day

Maybe I could see you in this imachidzuki**

Okosade okosade really

(Soiya really)

We fell in love but can't be together, night with the crescent moon

Yesterday (night), you rested your head in my arm

Tonight, who's legs are you resting on

At least I want to be a haori (kimono jacket)'s string

Tie a strong knot and not let go

Okosade okosade really

(Soiya really)

If touched, one night's mercy that unties

Waiting alone at the castle's lake

Come again today, come again tomorrow

Holding on to the your vestiges, who won't come

Getting sentimental, pouring my own sake and getting drunk

Okosade okosade really

(Soiya really)

Getting drunk on dreams, a mikaeri* beauty

*Mikaeri komachi is a woman whose side face looks pretty when she turns back her head.

*Imachidzuki is the moon that appears on the eighteenth night of the lunar calendar.
