翠［みどり］色の羽根
戯れに鳥を追って
森深く迷い込んだ恋
このまま帰れなくなろうか

はしゃぎ疲れて睡微［ねむ］る君
夜風に身をまかせ月光浴

退屈な人生が贅沢なさみしさを知る
もう二度と孤独と遊戯［あそ］べない
　無邪気な足もとに跪き
　つま先に頬よせれば
　ああ桜桃の美の固さで

漆色の闇
今夜の月は美くしい
この胸の闇はより深く
君はよりあざやかに光る

ふいに目覚めて笑う君
枯れない永遠の月下美人

一瞬の永遠に何もかも賭ける愚かで
幸福な男がここに居る
　花のように淡いその肌に
　我が胸を乗せこのまま
　ああ　押し花にしてしまおうか

一瞬の永遠に何もかも賭ける愚かで
幸福な男がここに居る
　花のように淡いその肌に
　我が胸を乗せこのまま
　ああ　押し花にしてしまおうか

君が望めば叶わない夢はないだろう
いたいけでゆるびない眼差し
　欠けてもまた満ちる
　あの月の強さにも似て
　傷つき　ああ　また美くしくなる君

Notes:
() means things that aren't stated but that I'm extrapolating.
* Like utsusemi and kachoufuugetsu, gekkabijin has a lot of potential interpretations/uses. Literally the components assemble as "a beautiful person beneath the moon," but the combination seems to have been used for everything from a particular night-blooming flower to the Queen of the Night. Since it's quite possible Tomomasa could have meant either the comparison to the flower or the more literal "beautiful person" meaning, I left it as "beauty in moonlight" so that humanity wasn't specified but could be read in...
** more literally "there are no dreams that will not be granted," but the double negative sounds awkward in English.
+ I'm taking kede to be a mutated form of dake de and yurubinai to be an oddly-conjugated negative form of yurumu "to abate/loosen". Mu to bu is a fairly common mutation, but I admit I haven't found either of these specifically documented anywhere...
