Once enemies ...
ATSUMORI.
But now ...
PRIEST.
In truth may we be named ...
ATSUMORI.
Friends in Buddha’s Law.
CHORUS.
There is a saying, “Put away from you a wicked friend; summon to your side a virtuous enemy.” For you it was said, and you have proven it true.
And now come tell with us the tale of your confession, while the night is still dark.
