While waiting for the first cuckoo at the courtiers hall:
かき曇りなどか音せぬほとゝぎす
| kakikumori nado ka oto senu Fototogisu |
Cloud-wracked, it is, and Why sing you not a note, O, cuckoo? |
Tamesuke heard me and said:
鎌鞍山に道や惑へる
| kamakurayama ni miti ya madoFeru |
In the darkness of Mount Kamakura Have you lost your way? |
