The English poem goes something like this,

 

His older sister vomited blood

His younger sister vomited fire

And the cute Tomino vomited glass beads.

Tomino fell into hell alone

Hell is wrapped in darkness

And even the flowers don’t bloom.

Is the person with the whip Tomino’s older sister?

I wonder who the whip’s Shubusa is?

Hit, hit, without hitting familiar hell’s one road.

Would you lead him to the dark hell?

To the sheep of gold, to the bush warbler.

I wonder how much he put into the leather pocket

For the preparation of the journey in the familiar hell.

Spring is coming even in the forest and the stream,

Even in the stream of dark hell.

The bush warbler in the birdcage,

The sheep in the wagon

Tears in the eyes of cute Tomino.

Cry, bush warbler toward the raining forest

He shouts that he misses his little sister.

The crying echo reverberates throughout hell,

The fox penoy blooms

Circling around Hell’s seven mountains and seven streams

The lonely journey of cute Tomino.

If they’re in Hell bring them to me.

The needles of the graves,

I won’t pierce with the red needle,

In the milestones of Little Tomino
