Sent to a cold-hearted woman on the last day of the Twelfth Month.
あらたまのとしにまかせて見るよりはわれこそこえめあふさかの関
| aratama no toshi ni makasete miru yori wa ware koso koeme osaka no seki |
An uncut gem, The year: should I leave it to – And just watch – far rather Would I be the one passing beyond The barrier of Ōsaka, place of meeting. |
