Autumn 26

Left (Win).

天の原おもへばかはる色もなし秋こそ月の光なりけれ

ama no hara
omoeba kawaru
iro mo nashi
aki koso tsuki no
hikari narikeri
Upon the plain of heaven—
If you think upon it—extraordinary
Hues there are not one; yet
Autumn, unmistakeably, is
Lit by moonlight.

Right

いかにせむさらでうき世はなぐさまずたのみし月も涙をちけり

ika ni semu
sarade ukiyo wa
nagusamazu
tanomishi tsuki mo
namida ochikeri
What should I do?
This cruel world
Is without all consolation;
Even the gentle moon
Brings tears to my eyes.
