Translation
The son went to work in tattered rags
His father's memento is a leather money bag
As he counts the coins, he laments how they fall short
His mother's ailment calls for money
He took all kinds of work to secure his income,
be it digging graves, or dirtying both hands
There is a Dragon god dwelling in stone at the far end of this land
with a treasure that trades life span for how much your gold weighs
Getting wind of that, the son rushed out of his house
and descended the mountain
Unable to stop her son, the mom feels the pain in her chest
getting even worse
He recklessly traversed the steep paths
and ended up collapsing in front of an unknown girl
Listening to his reason (excuse) to save money, she said,
"Without food nor water, you'd drop dead too, ".
The rumoured dragon, now fallen and sunken in the spring
Immortal (eternal) life and the Dragon's treasure - neither is better than a legend
Her talk casts a gloom on him,
then the girl leads him by the hand,
and he begins his way to his hometown (old home), with the placebo on his back
The son bringing home the girl overjoyed his mother
Perhaps she is here to be their bride?
Her wrong idea turns into truth
The girl settled down in their house unawares.
With the mom who regained her health
and together with the money they saved,
they're living their life in happiness.

Translation
Little Lady dances in a small rose garden
The story that narrates history from her beloved queen (mother)'s lips
Her Highness was subjected to a tragedy,
even the kingdom (domain) where she grew up was taken away;
in this prison that no light shines through,
is it tomorrow or demise that awaits?
To keep safe in her memories at least
the castle taken over in a single night,
she offers a kiss of betrothal (oath)
to the enemy (hatred) in her eyes
『I shall become the nectar (poison) to drive mad
those insects (bugs) that murdered His Majesty (father) and fed off us————』
Countless people lost their head over
her voice that can lead even gods astray
Before long, she held the fiends spellbound
and got hold of the real poison
Those painful and depraved days
are all for this moment (time);
she fills the goblet with a curse
that kindly beckons her husband......
the sounds of the insects leading to the throne
a queen was born, crowned
with the diadem for a new domain
in place of sweet illusions (daydreams)
In the rose garden from back then, her portrait is with a smile (laughter)
The story that narrates (belies) history from those cold stony lips
