あした浜辺をさまよえば
昔のことぞ忍ばるる
風の音よ    雲のさまよ
寄する波も    貝の色も

ゆうべ浜辺をもとおれば
昔の人ぞ忍ばるる
寄する波よ    返す波よ
月の色も    星のかげも

This song can be found in the new Japanese Art Song Anthology, available from Classical Vocal Reprints.

Yosuru nami mo kai no iro mo

Yūbe hamabe o motooreba	
Mukashi no hito zo shinobaruru
Yosuru nami yo kaesu nami yo
Tsuki no iro mo hoshi no kage mo
