"Tatara Women Work Song"

From a childhood favorite, Princess Mononoke. 

I made the instrumental and did the vocals in GarageBand.

Kind of an upbeat version of the original.

Tatara Women Work Song by ashleyserena

一つ、二つは赤子も踏むが
三つ、四つは鬼も泣く泣く
タタラ女は黄金の情け
解けて流れりゃ刃に変わる

hitotsu, futatsu wa akago mo fumuga 
mittsu, yottsu wa oni mo naku, naku
tatara-onna wa kogane no nasake
tokete nagarerya yaiba ni kawaru


one, two, even babies can push (the bellows)
three, four, even an ogre would cry
the golden love of a Tatara woman
melts and flows, and changes into a blade
