Vangelis - Japanese Woman's Blimp Song

From “the tale of the Heike(Heike Monogatari)” made in Kamakura era,
13th century .

This song is the scene about Nasuno Yoichi, the archery master try to shoot through the fan(Ougi) ,about 230 feet away standing in the sea.

the lyrics ;

The sun is setting
On the Yashima seashore

Riding on the horse and running into the sea

(but) because the wind blowing through the sea is so strong and the tide is high,

The horse can’t stand firmly

(Also) the fan target is rotating by the wind
No way to aim at the target
