Left (Win)

色色に心ぞうつる秋ののは露もあだなる花しなければ

iroiro ni kokoro zo utsuru aki no no wa tsuyu mo adanaru hana shi nakereba

From one to another My heart does shift, for In the autumn meadows Even a slightly unattractive Bloom is there not a one…

Right

花すすき風のけしきにしたがひて心おこらぬ人なまねきそ

hanasusuki kaze no keshiki ni shitagaite kokoro okoranu hito na maneki so

O, silver grass! The feelings of the wind Follow, and Folk whose hearts will not be moved Beckon not!
