Yōzei’in miko futari uta’awase 13

Left

ゆふざれもさらにまたれずあさぼらけおきゆくみちのつゆとけぬべし

yūzare mo
sara ni matarezu
asaborake
okiyuku michi no
tsuyu to kenubeshi
For eventide,
Again, I cannot wait, but
At the dawning
Rise and go—my path filled
With lasting dew, it seems.

Right

あはぬよはわびてもねにきあかつきのわかれのみちはまどはれぞする

awanu yo wa
wabite mo ne ni ki
akatsuki no
wakare no michi wa
madoware zo suru
Nights we fail to meet
Are desolate, but when I have come and slept with you
The dawn’s
Parting path
Leaves me lost!
