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 tell 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 strength and to survive
So the rabbit offers himself in sacrifice
Can you hear this 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
The Rabbit of the Moon
