When the samurai cries It's like an unloved child And when the sad child sighs You can hear the sound of lovers' cry Lovers' cry Wait until the dark For the night dog's bark When the ravens beat their wings On broken promises
I promise, I promise I promise, I promise
When a promise lies, It's like a friend that dies When a flame has died All you can do is sigh Oh sigh Sigh, oh, sigh, sigh!
And when the samurais dies Oh loveless child And the nightingale sighs At the saddened, blackened sky You will hear the sound of lovers' cry You will hear the sound of lovers' cry On broken promises
