Lyric

Gold leaf earrings, every time they sway

Your voice falls onto the cobblestones

The lights of the teahouse district blur with rain

I am still the hyakumangoku woman

Memories of the afternoon when I closed my umbrella

Blending into the scent of roasted tea

Pretending not to know love’s ending

The rain in Kanazawa is too gentle

I dreamed of leaving this city

I saw you off as you walked away

At the crossroads in Korinbo

I am still the hyakumangoku woman

Dyed in the colors of Kaga Yuzen

I try on someone else’s love

The smile in the mirror

Isn’t the real me, and yet

I live and fall in love in this city

I forgot your name

As the lights of Katamachi begin to fade

I am still the hyakumangoku woman

You, on that day, were

More dazzling than gold leaf

But now I am

Standing by the Sai River, just as I was before

I live and fall in love in this city

I forgot your name

As the lights of Katamachi begin to fade

I am still the hyakumangoku woman

Melting into the night of Kanazawa

I am still the hyakumangoku woman
