Sagoromo monogatari

消えはてて煙は空にかすむとも雲のけしきを我としらじな

kiehatete
kemuri wa sora ni
kasumu tomo
kumo no keshiki o
ware to shiraji na
All but gone,
The smoke across the sky
Is hazed, yet
In the vista of the clouds,
You would not know ’tis I.

In reply:

かすめよな思ひ消えなむ煙にもたちおくれてはくゆらざらまし

kasumeyo na
omoi kienamu
keburi ni mo
tachiokurete wa
kuyurazaramashi
Do not haze them!
Dying from love
In smoke
To drift away,
Is no way to burn!
