入日さすさほの山辺のははそはらくもらぬ雨と木葉ふりつつ

irihi sasu saho no yamabe no hahasowara kumoranu ame to ko no ha furitsutsu

Twilight sunlight shines On the slopes of Mount Saho: The oak groves Are cloudless, yet there is rain: Leaves falling, on and on.

かぜさむみ伊勢のはま荻分行けばころもかりがねなみになくなり

kaze samumi ise no hama ogi wakeyukeba koromo kari ga ne nami ni naku nari

The wind’s so chill, as Through the silver grass upon the beach at Ise I forge my way, that I’d borrow a robe with goose cries Sounding ‘cross the waves!
