Return, O ReturnAI
The priest reports to the Great Master of Fate:
Mark my humble sincerity, O hear what I ask.
Heed my prayer, O know my true heart.
The pact is sealed, O the decree is sent.
The summoning tools are all prepared, O by these I keep my word.
Weave the threads of Eastern Qi, O draw the rosy clouds for warp and weft.
Without the weight of cloth or silk, O so light it is as nothing.
The pact is sealed, O the decree is sent.
The summoning tools are all prepared, O by these I keep my word.
Tie the basket of Qin and Long, O without a flaw or crack.
Cup the moon in the clear water, O cover all and leave none behind.
The pact is sealed, O the decree is sent.
The summoning tools are all prepared, O by these I keep my word.
Seek the robe of Zheng silk, O shining bright to grace the face.
Burn the thoughts of my former self, O raise the soaring notes of the Jichu song.
The pact is sealed, O the decree is sent.
The summoning tools are all prepared, O by these I keep my word.
Come back, O come back!
East you cannot go, south you cannot trust, west you cannot stay, north you cannot... / north you cannot stay long...
Come back, come back
You have come back, you have come back

Moon, go slowly, do not leave me alone.
Sun and moon wax and wane, and flowers have their time to fall.
Leaves don't leave the branch, and water flows uphill!
Fallen flowers drop new seeds, and spring fills the hills again.
I have one plea:
I have one wish:
O soul, O spirit, return here!
O fortune, O blessing, be given to you!
