Ame-no-Izumi

Dance

Dance, sweet Goddess

Sweet, lesser Goddess

For it is what history remembers of You

And hardly anything more

 

You are both shameless and loyal

And for that You will be remembered

When You danced that impure dance

In an attempt

To save the World

 

And save the world You did

For the whopping and hollering of the other Gods

Could be heard throughout Tamagahara

Luring out Okami Amaterasu

And with Her, the Sun

 

So dance on

Sweet, lesser Goddess

Dance for all eternity

For it is Your mirthful love

That brings us the sun
