Kanji

 * 霧が立ち込む　川中島
 * されど見ゆる　我が眼には
 * 天（そら）に佇む　毘沙門天
 * 我を　導かん
 * 我を止める者はあらざり


 * 今日こそ　一世一代　男が戦
 * 見せてくれよう


 * 水の盃　飲み干したら
 * 馬を進め　攻め行かん
 * 一気呵成に　此度こそ
 * 勝利　掴むなり
 * 狼煙上がる　我に続けよ


 * 見事に　天上天下　邪（まがごと）払い
 * 勝ってみせよう


 * 我が龍なら　虎の如き
 * 敵の将は　つわものぞ
 * 此度四度目の　決戦（たたかい）を
 * 共に　愉しまん


 * 我等止める者はあらざり


 * 今こそ　大胆不敵　武将が戦
 * 見せてくれよう
 * 見せてくれよう…

English Translation

 * Mist enshrouds the grounds of Kawanakajima
 * Yet I stand still and raise my eyes
 * towards the heavens, Bishamonten,
 * grant me your guidance
 * so that none shall stop me


 * Today, you shall bear witness
 * to the greatest battle ever fought between men


 * I empty my saucer of water
 * and spur my mount for the attack
 * This time the battle will end in one stroke
 * with my absolute victory
 * The smoke signal rises as I march forward


 * I shall win to cleanse unrighteous miscreants
 * from heaven and earth


 * If I am to be the dragon, then my opponent
 * must be a commander fit for the tiger
 * Let us savor then
 * the fourth battle between us


 * None can hope to stop us


 * Bear witness now
 * to a stalwart conflict between samurai
 * You shall see...
