At Takao River

	A road was leading on
	To the land of eternity
	For a man on his last travel
	When he came to cross
	Over a bridge broken
	Dismounted and pulling heavy weight
	Tremendous effort and struggle
	This man did fail
	Through grasped the piling firmly
	And giving mighty shout
	It still sank to the rivers step
	And when the man returned he died
	After the Takao river
	After the Takao cross
	After the Takao river
	That man, he died
	One man's death
	Giving another one the gifts unforeseen
	By destiny and by chance
