Mood Music Part V

It's 2020 - the masks are uglier now but still just as useless

So after my self imposed exile from the sub-forum (a lot of songs I put up here were removed for violations terms on YT) I decided that this song was just too good not to share.

I believe pretty much everyone knows the film Kill Bill and the tale of O-Ren Ishii, but some may not know that this is the original version of that song from the film Lady Snowblood.

On a dead morning, a burial of snow falls.
The howling of a stray dog and the sound of geta (wooden clogs) break the silence.
I walk with the weight of the heavens on my mind.
Embracing the darkness of the night, with a patterned (wooden) umbrella in hand.
A woman, treading the path of life, who threw away her tears long ago.
Following the twisting river, the path leads me far by the lamplight.
The frozen cranes cannot move, weeping rain and wind.
The ice of the frozen pond reflects the silhouette of a woman's hair.
Not only I could not show my tears, with a patterned umbrella in hand.
A woman, treading the path of life, who threw away her tears long ago.

Honour, compassion, tears, and dreams,
yesterday, today... all words without hope.
A woman, who surrendered her body to the river of bitterness threw herself away long ago.[i/]
