Okichi-san Lyrics - Renaissance

Sunlight shining Kyoko-san 

Shades her face behind her fan 

Silk kimono, amber comb 

Geisha Kyoko-san's alone 

Moving through the willow leaves 

Past the tea house trees 

Preparing for the evening play 

Kyoko-san would please 

In Shimoda geisha-san 

Tells of lost Okichi-san 

Taken from the geisha place 

To a foreign cold embrace 

Bound in duty to perform 

Okichi-san was torn 

Unhappy Okichi-san lived a life forlorn 

In Shimoda geisha Kyoko-san is resting 

Lost Okichi-san geisha Kyoko-san 

Different as two can be 

Sighing 

In Shimoda Gefu lanterns glow this evening 

Through the paper screen 

Painted candle's light 

Soft against the perfect night sky
