Up on the hill there's a silk tree Thin, tall and has a very supple trunk His delicate leaves are clasped Like he's giving a prayer
When I die, please cremate my body And bury my bone under the tree Well, the tree used to be the boy I loved He metamorphosed into a tree
O-do-ru o-do-ru Ma-wa-ru ma-wa-ru Eat me to stretch up higher and higher Toward the sky so high
Like the vessels of your heart The root will surround the land around I'll be a part of the land
One day suddenly he was gone and I've got a big hole in my heart The world became monochrome I still regretted not telling him That I liked him, la la…
It's a ghost dance; we won't scare you out Won't you come with me onto the hill and Make a circle and go round and round Tu tu tu
Me-gu-ru me-gu-ru Tsu-zu-ku tsu-zu-ku Thinking back everything about him I feel..
Like the vessels of your heart The root will surround the land around I'll be a part of the land
