Lyrics

: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…

: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...
