Arriving at Hell’s casino, I bet on justice
The world is divided into odds and evens
I should be able to see nothing, but
Malicious faces are so easy to spot
Scoundrels filling these pubs
And degenerated justice will never change
Rassera Rassera Rassera Rassera
No need to rush, now’s not the time
The Nebuta tiger is unmoved by deception
The business of karma
Rassera Rassera, depends on the answer
Rassera Rassera, of the raging tiger
Arriving in this territory of respect, I sheathe my sword
The heavens see all
Give your body to the festival
Indeed, with an uplifting spirit
Life is full of good and evil
But there is no difference between heavy and light
Rassera Rassera Rassera Rassera
No need to rush, now’s not the time
The Nebuta tiger hides its fangs
The moment when all becomes transitory
Rassera Rassera, with no fear of the gods
Rassera Rassera, the tiger roars
Rassera Rassera
Scoundrels filling these pubs
And degenerated justice will never change
Rassera Rassera Rassera Rassera
No need to rush, now’s not the time
The Nebuta tiger is unmoved by deception
The business of karma
Rassera Rassera, depends on the answer
Rassera Rassera, of the raging tiger

Misa’s note:
Nebuta is a summer nighttime festival in Aomori. Nebuta refers to the float of a brave warrior-figure which is carried through the center of the city, while dancers wearing a unique type of costume called “haneto” dance around in time with the chant “Rassera”.

Jigoku no toba kite jingi wo kakeru
Douse yononaka han ka chou
Nannimo mienee asshi no hazu ga
Akui no kao dake yoku mieyasu
Sakaba ni harareta akutou to
Ochita seigi wa kawaranee
Rassera rassera rassera rassera
Awatenasan na ima wa mada
Katsugare ugokanu nebuta no tora
Inga na tosei ni gozeyasu
Rassera rassera hentou shidai ja
Rassera rassera areru tora sa
Katagi no shima kite katana wo tatamu
Otento-sama wa o mi toushi
Sono mi matsuri ni sasageru nanza
Ikanimo mi ageta kokoro iki
Inochi ni seidaku aru keredo
Omoi karui wa arya shinee
Rassera rassera rassera rassera
Awatenasan na ima wa mada
Touga wo kakushita nebuta no tora
Shogyou ga mujou ni naru toki wa
Rassera rassera kami sae osorezu
Rassera rassera hoeru tora sa
Rassera rassera
Sakaba ni harareta akutou to
Ochita seigi wa kawaranee
Rassera rassera rassera rassera
Awatenasan na ima wa mada
Katsugare ugokanu nebuta no tora
Inga na tosei ni gozeeyasu
Rassera rassera hentou shidai ja
Rassera rassera areru tora sa

地獄の賭場来て 仁義を賭ける
どうせ世の中 半か丁
なんにも見えねェ あっしのはずが
悪意の顔だけ よく見えやす
酒場に貼られた 悪党と
墜ちた正義は 変わらねェ
ラッセラ ラッセラ ラッセラ ラッセラ
慌てなさんな 今はまだ
担がれ 動かぬ ねぶたの虎
因果な渡世にごぜェやす
ラッセラ ラッセラ 返答次第じゃ
ラッセラ ラッセラ 荒れる虎さ
堅気の縄張(しま)来て 刀をたたむ
お天道様は お見通し
その身 祭りに 捧げるなんざァ
いかにも 見上げた 心意気
命に清濁 あるけれど
重い軽いは ありゃしねェ
ラッセラ ラッセラ ラッセラ ラッセラ
慌てなさんな 今はまだ
闘牙を 隠した ねぶたの虎
諸行が無常になる刻は
ラッセラ ラッセラ 神さえ畏れず
ラッセラ ラッセラ 吠える虎さ
ラッセラ ラッセラ
酒場に貼られた 悪党と
墜ちた正義は 変わらねェ
ラッセラ ラッセラ ラッセラ ラッセラ
慌てなさんな 今はまだ
担がれ 動かぬ ねぶたの虎
因果な渡世にごぜェやす
ラッセラ ラッセラ 返答次第じゃ
ラッセラ ラッセラ 荒れる虎さ
