| 高野に轟く 火薬の音に | Kouya ni todoroku kayaku no oto ni | Fearing not the sounds of gunpowder |
| 恐れをなし 岩影に隠れ | Osore wo nashi iwa kage ni kakure | Booming through the wilderness, you hide in the boulders’ shadows |
| 獲物抱えた 狩人達の | Emono kakaeta kariudotachi no | You glared at the parting backs of |
| 去りゆく背中を睨みつけた | Sariyuku senaka wo nirami tsuketa | The hunters carrying their spoils |
| 縄張りを守り 我が子を庇い | Nawabari wo mamori wagako wo kabai | Protecting your territory and sheltering your child |
| 無念の亡骸 数多に散る | Munen no nakigara amata ni chiru | The regretful corpses scattered about are too many to count |
| 幼き群れは ねぐらを追われ | Osanaki mure wa negura wo oware | Your young herd was chased out of its settlement |
| それでも月日を耐え忍んだ | Soredemo tsuki hi wo taeshinonda | Even so, you endured days and months in secrecy |
| 山を馳せ 陽は昇り 暁を導いて | Yama wo hase you wa nobori akatsuki wo michibiite | Rushing through the mountains, the sun climbs, leading the dawn |
| 彼ら行く どこまでも 仇の待つその地へと | Karera iku dokomade mo kataki no matsu sono chi e to | They will head anywhere, as long as it is the place where their enemy awaits |
| 変わらない面影を 水面に映し泣いて | Kawaranai omokage wo minamo ni utsushi naite | With an unchanging image reflected in the water’s surface, you cry |
| 山彦の遠吠えが 呼び起こす | Yamabiko no tōboe ga yobiokosu | The distant howl echoing through the mountains awakens |
| あの日々へ奔る 月明かりを浴びて | Ano hibi e hashiru tsukiakari wo abite | Those days once again where you travel, basking in the moonlight |
| 静まり返った 夜更けの街で | Shizumari kaetta yofuke no machi de | In a town that has returned to stillness, |
| 狼の群れは 息を潜め | Ōkami no mure wa iki wo hisome | The herd of wolves quiet their breaths |
| 納屋に漂う 毛皮の匂い | Naya ni tadayou kegawa no nioi | The smell of pelts wafts around the shed |
| 狩人の寝込みに牙をむいた | Kariudo no nekomi ni kiba wo muita | And you bare your fangs at the hunters’ slumber |
| 目を覚まし 泣き叫ぶ 赤子の声に惑い | Me wo samashi nakisakebu akago no koe ni madoi | They awaken, shriek as they shout Bewildered by the baby’s voice, a chink in the armor shown— |
| 見せた隙 不意を突く 銃声が響き渡る | Miseta suki fui wo tsuku jūsei ga hibiki wataru | Taken by surprise, the gunshots ring out |
| 背を向けて 逃げ出した 胸の傷 引きずって | Se wo mukete nigedashita mune no kizu hikizutte | Turning your back, you escaped and ran out, dragged down by your chest’s wound |
| ほうぼうの遠吠えが呼び起こす | Houbou no tooboe ga yobiokosu | The distant howl here and there awakens you back |

| やまびこの遠吠えが呼び起こす 彼方の夢 | Yamabiko no tōboe ga yobiokosu kanata no yume | The distant howl echoing through the mountains awakens your dream |
| 戻らない憧れに | Modoranai akogare ni | Though the scar on your chest throbs |
| 胸の傷 疼いても | Mune no kizu uzuite mo | From the honor that will never return to you, |
| ほうぼうの遠吠えが呼びかける 明日へと | Houbou no tōboe ga yobikakeru ashita e to | The distant howl here and there calls for you to head |
| 奔る 月灯りを浴びて | Hashiru tsukiakari wo abite | To tomorrow where you travel, basking in the moonlight |
