「波の下(なみのした)にも美しい(うつくしい)都(みやこ)がございます」と言い(いい)、天皇と(てんのうと)一緒に(いっしょに)海へ(うみへ)身を投じた(みのとうじた)

However, the fate of the prosperous Heike clan ended here. In the 'Battle of Dan-no-ura,' the Heike were completely defeated, and the grandmother, Nii no Ama, holding the young Emperor Antoku, gently whispered, 'There is a beautiful capital beneath the waves too,' and threw herself into the sea along with the Emperor. The Heike clan perished, disappearing into history. The sorrowful performances of the lute priests transmit this echo of impermanence to this day.
