I'm not a 犬(dog) Rather, I'm called a 狗(dog) No, not that kind of 犬(dog) You know, the one with the dog radical Ah! I protect the mountains, admonish humans And occasionally get angry, such is my duty Breathing fire, gathering wood, throwing stones, even if my guffaw Would somehow become hoarse, I am still worked without mercy In spite of it I bite a bit In a sense I am a mountain god Oh, it's nothing, just thinking aloud However, in some regions I'm more important than the Great Tengu Looked down on by even leafs, even crows If I started counting my superiors there'd be no end to it Breathing fire, gathering wood, throwing stones, even if my guffaw Would somehow become hoarse, without mercy There is a mountain of work Even if I startled people again, I would surely just be treated with contempt It makes me cry and I can't sleep, I've accepted that there'll be many such nights Breathing fire, gathering wood, throwing stones, even if my guf-- No, I'm telling you, I'm a 狗(dog), not a 犬(dog) The 句(ku) from 句読点(kutōten) with the dog radical In the end I'll bite a lot
