Translation of the song Daido:

"With this chestnut horse, I'll ride to my heart's desire, Tomorrow I'll visit my sweet mother. If I go tomorrow and my sweet mother is not there, With whom shall I pour out my heart's sorrows?
Father is good and mother is dear, Brother is the sweetest fruit on earth.
Raise your head from this soil, Father, I am full of loneliness, comfort me, Father. My soul is weary from the feeling of strangeness and loneliness, Our next meeting will be on the Day of Judgment.
It was the time of sunset and evening prayer when a stranger crossed my path, His loneliness devastated me and reminded me of my homeland. I don't know if the devastation of my heart was for my mother or my brother. I became a recluse and my own companion.
The sun is warm and it's midday, dear God, I have no one to sew my shroud. I wish my shroud were sewn from plain cloth, and my young brother stood over my body.
My young brother stood over my head, and threw two or three shovels of earth on me. My young brother stood over my head, and threw two or three shovels of earth on me.
The path to my homeland is full of thorns, Seeing my mother has become grief and pain. I wish I were spring grass so I could turn green, I wish I had never left my mother and taken care of her.
If I can get out of this short valley, I will offer sacrifice and alms to my mother. On that day when God wills and arrives, That I may come to her with a smile on my face.
Oh vagabond, Oh unfaithful one, My soul, Oh vagabond, Unfaithful one..."
