San’i minamoto no hirotsune ason uta’awase 3

A mountain home concealed by haze (霞隔山家)

Left

おぼつかなとなりもみえず成りにけり霞へだつる村雲のさと

obotsukana
tonari mo miezu
narinikeri
kasumi hedatsuru
muragumo no sato
All is hidden!
My neighbours invisible
Have become;
The hazes form a barrier in
This cloud-clustered hamlet…

Right

春霞八重立ちぬれば尋ねゆく道もわかれずくらはしのさと

harugasumi
yae tachinureba
tazuneyuku
michi mo wakarezu
kurahashi no sato
The spring hazes
Arise eightfold, so
Though I go enquire
No one knows the way to
The estate at Kurahashi.
