三成
 * さあ　我が道を行け
 * もう　引き留めはしない
 * この身はまっすぐに突き進むなり

清正
 * 選ぶ道が異がなる
 * それがもし運命でも
 * 目指す場所同じ筈
 * そうだ　ただひとす

一同
 * 心にいま決めし道　進みて行くべし
 * 忠義を尽くして命は華となる
 * 守るべきを守るため譲れぬ生き様
 * 共に貫くなら
 * 熱く燃えて燃えて燃えて燃えて
 * さらば友よ
 * 道の果てで逢うまで

清正
 * 嗚呼 朝焼けの麓
 * そう 語りしあの理想
 * 憶えているだろう 我が同胞よ

三成
 * 言葉になど 出すなよ
 * ひたぶるに前を向け
 * 太陽が翳るとも
 * 消えぬ志

一同
 * この道いま分かつとも 進みて悔いなし
 * 心の砦は誰にも壊せない
 * 守るべきを守るため躊躇いは無用
 * 離れ戦うなら
 * 遠く 燃えて燃えて燃えて燃えて
 * さらば友よ
 * 何処にてか逢おうぞ


 * 心にいま決めし道　進みて行くべし
 * 忠義を尽くして命は華となる
 * 守るべきを守るため譲れぬ生き様
 * いつか散りゆくまで
 * 咲いて (三成)
 * 燃えて (清正)
 * 燃えて (三成)
 * 燃えて (清正)
 * 燃えて (一同)

三成
 * さらば友よ
 * 道が違えてども

清正
 * さらば友よ
 * 同じ天を見て

一同

English Translation
Mitsunari
 * Now then, go to where ever you see fit
 * I won't try to stop you any longer
 * I won't stray from the path I adhere to

Kiyomasa
 * The paths we have chosen are different
 * It is as though this is fated
 * Even though what we want is the same
 * Yes, there's only one path for us

Together
 * My heart will follow the path I have decided
 * I will be devoted to it, my life will turn into a flower
 * in this life of absolutes to protect what I want
 * If we can't carry it out together,
 * then burn, burn, burn, burn fiercely away
 * Farewell, my friend
 * Until we meet again at the end of our paths

Kiyomasa
 * Ah, the sunrise at the base of the mountain
 * Yes, that time when we talked about our ideals
 * Do you even remember that anymore, my brother-in-arms

Mitsunari
 * There are no words left to be said
 * There's nothing left for me but to move forward
 * lest the sun try to obscure
 * my undying will

Together
 * Our paths may divide us, but we move forward without regrets
 * No one can break the fortification in our hearts
 * There's no need to hesitate to protect what we must
 * If we should fight while apart,
 * then burn, burn, burn, burn faraway
 * Farewell, my friend
 * Until we meet somewhere again


 * My heart will follow the path I have decided
 * I will be devoted to it, my life will turn into a flower
 * in this life of absolutes to protect what I want
 * Until the day when we scatter
 * bloom (Mitsunari)
 * burn (Kiyomasa)
 * burn (Mitsunari)
 * burn (Kiyomasa)
 * burn away (Together)

Mitsunari
 * Farewell, my friend
 * though our paths may differ

Kiyomasa
 * Farewell, my friend
 * even if we still see the same sky

Together
 * Farewell, my friend
 * Let us meet again someday
