ある日小さな村に旅する吟遊詩人が訪れた
まだ若い少女で旅も慣れてなかったけど　歌には自信がある

少女は村の中央にある広場に座りリュートを弾き唄い始めた
でも誰ひとり出てこなかった　聞こえていないのか

悩んだ末に出てこないなら無理矢理でも聞こえるようにと
雷鳴のように叫び唱った　それがみんなの心を震わせた

出てきた村人たちはみんな不気味な形をしてた
少し恐かったけどやがて打ち解けてた　歌を唄うたびに

「こんなわたしたちを見ても逃げないとは大したもんだ」
そう言う杖つくお爺さんが村長だった　事情を聞いてみた

昔愚かな青年が居て国王の娘と恋をした
ふたりで駆け落ちを企てたけど　その途中で捕まってしまった

国王は冷たく言い放った
「こいつとその子孫にまで及ぶ異形の呪いをかけて野に捨てろと」

ある日みんなが言ってくれた
「あなたの歌には不思議な力がある
曲がってた骨もこんな真っ直ぐに　もうすぐ治りそうだ」

毎日こうしてこの村で歌を聴かせてあげれれば
呪いも解ける日が来る、そう思い始めてた　なんの迷いもなく

だけどその噂が広まり騎士が馬に乗りやってきて
少女を連れ去って城の深い牢獄に閉じこめた

国王が現れ「その力は私のために使え」と言う
そんなのお断りだ!
「ならそこで一生過ごすといい」と告げ立ち去った

泣いてなんかいられない　ここからでも歌を唄おう
あの時も届いた　さあ始めよう《終わりのない歌》を

長い長い時が過ぎた　村にもまた春が訪れ
子供たちは輪になり伝承の歌を謡う　旅人が残した

少女はまだ旅をしてた　もちろん大好きな歌を唄い
神様　叶うのならあの村でもう一度みんなに会いたい
もうこの世にあたしはいないけれど

one day, a traveling minstrel arrived in a small village
the young girl hasn't gotten used to traveling yet,
but she had self-confidence in her song

the girl sits in the plaza in the center of the village,
she played her lute and started to sing
but nobody came out, couldn't they hear it?

she was worried no one would come against their will, but she she wanted to be heard
like an outcry of thunder she sang and made everyone's heart tremble

all the appeared villagers had weird figures
they were a bit scary, but soon they opened their hearts, singing the song every time

"to see us like this and not running away is considerable",
said the old village headman with a walking stick
he explained the situation

long ago he was a foolish young man, who fell in love with the king's daughter
they planned to disappear together, but they got caught midway

the king coldly declared: "until this guy and that offspring are befallen,
I hang up a grotesque curse and throw them away"

one day everyone told her:
"there lies a miraclous power in your song,
it bends our bones straight and it looks like we'll be healed soon."

like this the song would be heard everyday in the village
and the day the curse is broken comes, they thought there was no doubt

but the rumor spread and a knight on a horse comes around
the girl is taken away and gets locked in the deep prison of the castle

the king appears and says "That power will be useful for me"
that is nonacceptable!
"if that's the case, you'll spend a lifetime here", he informs and left

there is no need to cry, she just sings her song from here
that moment it got through, come on let us sing the endless song

a long, long time passed and spring arrived again in the village
the children stand in a circle and sing the legendary song, that the traveler left behind

the girl is still traveling, of course singing the loveable song
dear god, if you granted me one wish I'd want to meet everyone from the village once more
but I don't exist anymore in this world
