諸衆等聴説無常偈
煩悩深無底
sho shu tou chou setsu mu jo ge
bon no jin mu tei

All hear what I have to say about impermanance
The depths of peoples foolishness has no limits.

It is the Mujo-ge from Shoya raisan (初夜）, the first watch of the night, and is only partial.

It is called mujoge in Japanese, but I did not recognise where it comes from. Great work, another interesting piece!
