To the sheep of gold, to the bush warbler.

I wonder how much he put into the leather pocket,

mugen jigoku no tabishitaku.

For the preparation of the journey in the familiar Hell.

Even in the stream of the dark Hell.

Tears in the eyes of cute Tomino.

The crying echo reverberates throughout Hell,
