Round Thirty-One

Left

むらさきに色もかはらずあけ衣我がくろかみの白く成るまで

murasaki ni iro mo kawarazu akegoromo wa ga kurokami no shirokunaru made

To violet Hues will never change My robes of red Until my tresses of black Have turned grey…

Right (Win)

世をもいとふ世にも我が身のいとはれてはなれがたきぞあやしかりける

yo o mo itou yo ni mo wa ga mi no itowarete hanaregataki zo ayashikarikeri

By this world that I hate so My sorry self in turn Is hated, so That it is so hard to leave Is a strange thing, indeed.

The Left isn’t bad, but as for the Right, well, it truly is a strange thing, isn’t it.
