Horikawa-in Enjo Awase 13

おもひやれとはで程ふる五月雨に独やどもる袖の雫を

omoiyare
towade hodo furu
samidare ni
hitori yado moru
sode no shizuku o
Lost in thoughts of you,
Time without a visit passes by
As a summer shower
In my lonely home leaks
Droplets on my sleeves…

世とともにさてのみこそはすぐししか思ひしりぬや袖の雫を

yo to tomo ni
sate nomi koso wa
sugushishika
omoishirinu ya
sode no shizuku o
Together with the world
All stayed the same
As it passed by;
Could I be ignorant of
The droplets on your sleeves?
