The peaceful silence passes by 
As the clear water trickles down the stream 
The leaves of trees with occasional breeze 
Dance along as the butterfly dreams 
 
The reflection of the moon dissappears for a time 
As a great gray cotton covers the sky 
When the water drops come falling down 
The little fish flips,  
then silence comes 
 
When the clouds have drifted with the wind 
The white gleam returns to shine upon 
This land of timeless serenity 
This land of timeless sound
Misamurai Tanbo
