Kōjō no Tsuki is a Japanese song written over one hundred years ago, in the Meiji period. It is one of the most widely-known and well-loved songs in Japan. The title describes the moon viewed from a desolate castle.

A jazz arrangement was recorded by Thelonious Monk under the title "Japanese Folk Song" on his 1967 album Straight, No Chaser. This version can be heard in the movie La La Land

LYRICS:

The Moon over the Ruined Castle

Flowery feast in spring high up in the castle
Cups of sake were passed around
Lit by the moonlight through the old pine branches
Where is that old moonlight now?

Encampment in autumn was white covered with frost
A number of geese honked as they flew across the sky
The moonlight shined on the swords thrusted upright into the ground
Where is that old moonlight now?

Now at midnight the moon is right above
For whom does it shine like in the past?
Nothing remains on the rampart but some ivy
Nothing to hear but the rustle of pine branches in the storm

Up in the sky the moon and the stars remain unchanged
But in the earthly life, rises and falls come and go
Does the moon hang there to reflect those changes?
Ah! the midnight moon over the ruined castle
