Composed on the conception of Felicitation for a poetry competition held by the Kokiden Consort during the reign of Emperor Go-ichijō.
君が代は末の松山はるばるとこす白浪のかずも知られず
| kimi ga yo Fa suwe no matuyama no Farubaru to kosu siranami no kazu mo shirarezu |
Your Majesty’s reign: Upon the pine-clad peak of Sué, So distant Break whitecaps In numbers unknown to all! |
