Princess Mononoke Theme Song

haritsumeta yumi no furueru tsuru yo
tsuki no hikari ni zawameku omae no kokoro

togisumasareta yaiba no utsukushi
sono kissaki ni yoku nita sonata no yokogao
kanashimi to ikari ni hisomu makoto no kokoro o
shiru wa mori no sei
mononoke tachi dake
mononoke tachi dake

The trembling bowstring of a drawn bow
Pounding in the moonlight, your heart

The beauty of a sharpened sword edge
Your profile looks much like that sword point
Lurking in the sadness and anger, knowing the sincere heart
Are the spirits of the forest,
only the spirits,
only the spirits...
