花より団子
武士は食わねど高楊枝。
されど、腹が減っては戦はできぬ。
鬼退治の前にまずは一息、腹ごしらえ。
主食はもちろん、頬も落ちるキビ団子。
お腹いっぱいになったなら、鬼ヶ島をそりゃ進め。
Dumplings Over Flowers
If a samurai is starving, he'll pretend he's full by playing with a toothpick.
But a man can't fight with an empty stomach.
So before we slay some oni, let's relax and enjoy a meal.
I'll have, of course, the delicious millet dumplings.
And once our bellies are full, we'll be off to Onigashima.
