おとにきくたかしのはまのあだ浪はかけじや袖のぬれもこそすれ
| woto ni kiku takasi no Fama no adanami Fa kakezi ya sode no nure mo koso sure | By repute Upon Takashi Beach Break faithless waves, so Had I not better keep away? Lest my sleeves Should end up soaked! |
Kii, in service to the First Princess
人しれぬ思ひありそのはま風に浪のよるこそいはまほしけれ
| hito shirenu omoi ariso no hamakaze ni nami no yoru koso iwamahoshikere | Unknown to all My passion burns—toward a rocky Beach the breeze Brings waves–that I would tell you! |
