戯曲 通りゃんせ
明日草を掻き分けて
手を曵かれ背を押されて
玉砂利に足が縺れ 転けつまろびつ
俯いて向かう先は 鬼が出るか蛇が出るか
篝火に頬を染めた 女ノ妾に
忍び寄る荒き息は音も発てず嗤う
行きはよいよい帰りは怖い 通りゃんせ
帰路は疾うに断たれた 岐路は疾うに絶たれた
叫べど 喚けど 戯けど 悶えど
近道は呑まれた 雷に呑まれた
暴れど 足掻けど 渦巻いた闇へと
嘶く妖しの調べ 導く地獄の釜へ
辿々しい跫は 抵抗するも
忍び寄る荒き息は音も経てず嗤う
行きはよいよい帰りは怖い 通りゃんせ
帰路は疾うに断たれた 岐路は疾うに絶たれた
叫べど 喚けど 戯けど 悶えど
近道は呑まれた 雷に呑まれた
暴れど 足掻けど 渦巻いた闇へと
帰路は疾うに断たれた 岐路は疾うに絶たれた
叫べど 喚けど 戯けど 悶えど
近道は呑まれた 雷に呑まれた
暴れど 足掻けど 渦巻いた闇へ
昨日は疾うに断たれた 機能は疾うに絶たれた
叫べど 喚けど 戯けど 悶えど
逃道は呑まれた 毬道に呑まれた
暴れど 足掻けど 渦巻いた闇へと
明日草を掻き分けて
手を曵かれ背を押されて
玉砂利に足が縺れ 転けつまろびつ
俯いて向かう先は 鬼が出るか蛇が出るか

A Drama: Let Me Pass
Pushing my way through the keiskei grass
Dragging my hands as I'm shoved from behind
My feet get snagged in gravel, I stumble and fall
Never know what I'll be facing where I look down
Me, a lady with cheeks dyed by a bonfire
Creeping closer, I laugh without the sound of crude breath
The going is fine but returning is scary, let me pass
My way back has been cut off, my way back has been severed
Though I scream, I shout, I jest, I worry
The shortcuts were swallowed up, swallowed up by thunder
Though I struggle and stomp, into the swirled darkness
A deceptively bewitching tune, leading me to the cauldrons of Hell
Even though my awkward footsteps give resistance
Creeping closer, I laugh without the sound of crude breath
The going is fine but returning is scary, let me pass
My way back has been cut off, my way back has been severed
Though I scream, I shout, I jest, I worry
The shortcuts were swallowed up, swallowed up by thunder
Though I struggle and stomp, into the swirled darkness
My way back has been cut off, my way back has been severed
Though I scream, I shout, I jest, I worry
The shortcuts were swallowed up, swallowed up by thunder
Though I struggle and stomp, into the swirled darkness
Yesterday has been cut off, yesterday has been severed
Though I scream, I shout, I jest, I worry
My escape route was swallowed up, swallowed up by a path of burrs
Though I struggle and stomp, into the swirled darkness
Pushing my way through the keiskei grass
Dragging my hands as I'm shoved from behind
My feet get snagged in gravel, I stumble and fall
Never know what I'll be facing where I look down
Me, a lady with cheeks dyed by a bonfire
Creeping closer, I laugh without the sound of crude breath
The going is fine but returning is scary, let me pass
My way back has been cut off, my way back has been severed
Though I scream, I shout, I jest, I worry
The shortcuts were swallowed up, swallowed up by thunder
Though I struggle and stomp, into the swirled darkness
A deceptively bewitching tune, leading me to the cauldrons of Hell
Even though my awkward footsteps give resistance
Creeping closer, I laugh without the sound of crude breath
The going is fine but returning is scary, let me pass
My way back has been cut off, my way back has been severed
Though I scream, I shout, I jest, I worry
The shortcuts were swallowed up, swallowed up by thunder
Though I struggle and stomp, into the swirled darkness
My way back has been cut off, my way back has been severed
Though I scream, I shout, I jest, I worry
The shortcuts were swallowed up, swallowed up by thunder
Though I struggle and stomp, into the swirled darkness
Yesterday has been cut off, yesterday has been severed
Though I scream, I shout, I jest, I worry
My escape route was swallowed up, swallowed up by a path of burrs
Though I struggle and stomp, into the swirled darkness

The parts sung by a woman aren't in the printed lyrics; they're lyrics to the original Tooryanse song, which is a nursery rhyme.
