Japanese Sacred Kagura | Sarutahiko 猿田彦神 — A Brighter Path Ahead

A sacred Japanese kagura chant dedicated to Sarutahiko-no-Kami (猿田彦神), the Shinto deity who opens the way and guides us forward. This song is inspired by the moment when farewells are left behind, new encounters begin, and a brighter path quietly appears ahead. Not a prayer of asking, but a prayer of gratitude — for the unseen guidance that leads us gently toward light, clarity, and a new future. Set in a sacred spring shrine world of cedar paths, morning light, mist, and cherry blossoms, this piece expresses the moment when fear softens, the heart clears, and the next step becomes possible. ⛩ Continue the journey of sacred chants: Sacred Kagura Chants | Ancient Japanese Shinto Shrine Music    • Sacred Kagura Chants | Ancient Japanese Sh...   ・Spotify https://open.spotify.com/intl-ja/arti... ・Apple Music   / mythic-kagura-%e7%a5%9e%e6%a5%bd-sacred-sh...   ・Amazon Music https://music.amazon.co.jp/artists/B0... ・Youtube Music    / mythic kagura 神楽 | sacred shrine chants - ...   Lyrics 開け 道よ　静かなる道よ Open, O path — quiet and sacred path 開け 道よ　望みの方へ Open, O path — toward the place of hope 静けき朝に　御光満ちて In the quiet morning, sacred light fills all いまだ見ぬ道の　気配ぞ揺るる The presence of an unseen path begins to stir 春の名残は　風にほどけて The last traces of spring loosen into the wind 昨日の影も　遠く流れぬ Even yesterday’s shadows drift far away 別れの空に　手を振りながら Waving toward the sky of farewell この胸の内に　火を抱きたり I hold a flame within my heart 涙の跡も　なお消えねども Though the traces of tears have not yet faded その一雫が　道を照らせり That single drop now shines upon the path 道をたどれば　恐れの奥に As I follow the path, beyond the depths of fear 風は和らぎ　光は満ちぬ The wind grows gentle, and light fills the air 一歩をのせて　この身のままに Placing one step forward, just as I am 静かな明日へ　心を向ける I turn my heart toward a quiet tomorrow 静かに 静かに　開ける道を Quietly, quietly, the opening path この手の祈りに　たしかめてゆく I confirm it through the prayer in these hands 静かに 静かに　心を澄ませ Quietly, quietly, I clear my heart 新しき日へ　歩みを運ぶ And carry my steps toward a new day 開け 道よ　いまだ見ぬ朝へ Open, O path — toward the unseen morning 開け 道よ　出会いの方へ Open, O path — toward new encounters 過ぎゆく人の　ぬくもり残し Leaving behind the warmth of those who passed by 季節はそっと　扉を開く The season quietly opens the door 見知らぬ空も　初めての声も Unknown skies and first-heard voices これより我を　迎えてくれむ From here on, will welcome me 寂しさ一つ　抱きたるまま Holding one loneliness within me 出会いの光を　胸に受け取る I receive the light of encounter into my heart さよならの後　生まるる朝は The morning born after farewell 失くしたものさえ　やさしく結ぶ Gently binds even what was once lost 道をたどれば　胸の奥にて As I follow the path, deep within my heart 名もなき声が　静かに響く A nameless voice quietly resounds 一歩をのせて　この身のままに Placing one step forward, just as I am 光の方へ　歩みを向ける I turn my steps toward the light 別れの意味も　出会いの意味も The meaning of farewell and the meaning of meeting いつかこの道で　光となるらむ Someday on this path, both will become light 恐れの影を　抱きたるまま Even while holding the shadow of fear それでも明日へ　この足はゆける Still, these feet can walk toward tomorrow 導く神よ　この朝の息 O guiding deity, this breath of morning 心の内に　静かに満ちぬ Quietly fills the inside of my heart ありがたき道　新しき日を This blessed path, this new day この身のままに　静かに歩む I walk it quietly, just as I am 開け 道よ　静かなる道よ Open, O path — quiet and sacred path 開け 道よ　望みの方へ Open, O path — toward the place of hope 静かに 静かに　光へ向かう Quietly, quietly, I move toward the light 静かに 静かに　道は開ける Quietly, quietly, the path opens #JapaneseSacredKagura #Sarutahiko #猿田彦神 #ShintoPrayer #KaguraChant #JapaneseMythology #ShrineMusic #SacredChant #NewBeginnings #神楽
