Lyric

空の茶碗

Only empty cups can be filled

Empty cup wisdom, learned it from the sage

茶の湯の教え

Can't pour new knowledge on a cluttered page

Holding onto nothing liberates the cage

何も持たない

Where my spirit lived trapped inside its rage

Empty cup wisdom, turning a new page

Empty cup, ready to receive

受け取る準備

What the universe has got up its sleeve

Full of nothing, that's how I believe

無で満たされる

Empty cup wisdom, helping me achieve

Every expectation is a crack that leaks

期待は亀裂

Spilling out the wisdom that the spirit seeks

Empty cup philosophy, that's how freedom speaks

自由の哲学

No preconceptions when the master teaches

Empty cup wisdom, that's what silence preaches

Empty cup, ready to receive

受け取る準備

What the universe has got up its sleeve

Full of nothing, that's how I believe

無で満たされる

Empty cup wisdom, helping me achieve

茶道の極意

In the ritual of emptying the mind

True fullness is what seekers find

真の充足

Empty cup wisdom, leaving want behind

Empty cup, ready to receive

受け取る準備

What the universe has got up its sleeve

Full of nothing, that's how I believe

無で満たされる

Empty cup wisdom, helping me achieve

Pour it all out

全てを注ぎ出す
