Composed in the conception of spring having come from the East.
東路は勿来の関もあるものをいかでか春の越えて来つらん
| adumadi Fa nakoso no seki mo aru mono wo ikadeka Faru no koetekituran |
Upon the Eastern roads Come not to the barrier of Nakoso, They say, so How is it that Spring Has crossed to come to here? |
Minamoto no Morokata (1035-1081)
源師賢
A certain man came up to the capital from the East and went to the house of woman with whom he had spoken long before; when she asked why he had come to see her in such haste, he said:
おろかにもおもはましかはあづまぢのふせやといひしのべにねなまし
| oroka ni mo omoFamasikaba adumadi no Fuseya to iFisi nobe ni nenamasi |
Heedlessly Had I thought of you On the Eastern roads, Upon Fuseya Plain would I have rather slept! |
