Author's Notes:
Your friends... What kind of... people are they? I wonder... Do these people... think of you... as a friend?
Oh, woe is me! This heavy heart
Goes out to those of the swampland,
Whose waters were poisoned
By the hatred of an imp…

However, there was one there,
Whom we will never get to meet.
The son of a butler to the king,
Still just a child! Oh, woe is me!

I plead, great goddess,
Hallowed be thy name!
Grant me another chance
To ease these people’s pain.
Hear the song I play…

Give ear! Give ear!
To the melody I sing this day.
