Текст песни Ghost in the Shell Innocence OST - Kugutsuuta Ura Mite Chiru

(A Song Of Marionette)

Although the moon doesn't shine every one night,
but the crane sings every night sadly.
Even if I look back the past,
The flowers (Sakura) burn off.
As if the heart of consolation already disappeared

In this new world Gods are gathered
day broke, the crane sings

The flowers (Sakura) pray to gods
Although this life is tragic,
cannot give up a dream.
die holding animosity.

(This lyric is written in old Japanese, may be using words of Heian piriod which is 1,000 ago from now, but easy to understand).
