A three-legged cat is smiling humbly to me,
“Dear mademoiselle, shall we play together?”
The red lead around his neck that’s choking him slowly,
it cannot act as a replacement for his leg
Yah-yah-yah-yah, i-yah-i-yah-i-yah

A cemetery of gravestones lined up to sing for me,
“Dear mademoiselle, shall we dance together?”
Flowers all around my feet blooming so secretly,
they grow pitiful, just frowning and whining

The decorations all lie on the ground
A forbidding skull will give birth soon

Yah-i-yah-i! Let’s go out and have some fun now
Yah-i-yah-i! Open your mouth and laugh out
Lah-i-Lah-i! Hold it tightly and release now
Lah-i-Lah-i! The rakshasa and the carcase

One and a two and a three, release it all over again
Five and six, seven, raise your hands up high now
A rope around a pine tree, hang, hang and a-swaying
Shall we wrap it around our necks tightly?

A humbly-born python dies in front of someone’s grave
His relatives then quarrel, leeching everything of his
“This is what he promised me while he was alive,”
But, you know, dead men can tell tales no more
Yah-yah-yah-yah, i-yah-i-yah-i-yah

A lovely bunch flowers can make a wonderful buy
One after another, all the beauties were sold out
Remaining unbought in the end is an ugly dried up root
She weeps many tears, but no one takes notice

Yah-i-yah-i! Let’s go out and make some mischief
Yah-i-yah-i! Hop and dance in a circle
Lah-i-Lah-i! Hold it tightly and release now
Lah-i-Lah-i! The rakshasa and the carcase

Three and a two and a one, hurry, stop your breathing right now
Seven and eight and ten, keep holding and don’t stop
Even the great tower couldn’t endure the burning scalds
A cat closes the door before he goes to quietly leave

You’d think that everyone would simply mind their own business
You’d think that everyone would simply mind their own business
You’d think that everyone would simply mind their own business
You’d think that everyone would simply mind their own business

Who wants to care about humans’ misery!

Yah-i-yah-i! How about we make a baby?
Yah-i-yah-i! Just mix in now, up and down
Lah-i-Lah-i! A-B-C-D, come and get me
Lah-i-Lah-i! The rakshasa and the carcase

One and a two and a three, release it all over again
Five and six and seven, raise your hands up high now
Before the crows call out with their withering voices
One and a two and a three, I’ll see you tomorrow

One and a two and a three, I’ll see you tomorrow
