Distant colours of blossom in full bloom

なつかしきかこそ袖までにほふなれ花の木ずゑは遥かなれども

natsukashiki ka koso sode made niou nare hana no kozue wa harukanaredomo

That comforting, familiar Fragrance has reached my very sleeves And scented them; Though the blossom-laden treetops Lie far away…

花ざかりさきそめしよりあかなくによその梢を折りつつぞみる

hanazakari sakisomeshi yori akanaku ni yoso no kozue o oritsutsu zo miru

Since a profusion of blossom Began to bloom, Unable to sate myself, Distant treetops Will I ever break off and gaze upon.
