Daigo ōntoki kiku awase 02

霜のうへにのこれるきくのいろふかくをしむ心はなにならなくに

shimo no ue ni
nokoreru kiku no
iro fukaku
oshimu kokoro wa
nani naranaku ni
Atop the frost,
The lingering chrysanthemums’
Hues are deep, so
Regret within my heart
There should not be, yet…

いてしよも霜のうへなるきくのはなうつらぬほどにちよをかぞへむ

iteshi yo mo
shimo no ue naru
kiku no hana
utsuranu hodo ni
chiyo o kazoemu
On frozen nights, too,
O’er the frost
While the chrysanthemum blooms
Remain unfaded,
I would count a thousand ages.
