むねのひををしもぬかねばみだれおつるなみだのたまにかつぞけちつる
mune no hi o o shimo nukaneba midare’otsuru namida no tama ni katsu zo kechitsuru | The fire within my breast Will not thread upon a string, but My disorderly dripping Gemstone tears will Yet extinguish it. |

くらきよにともすほたるのむねのひををしもとけたるたまかとぞ見る
kuraki yo ni tomosu hotaru no mune no hi o o shimo toketaru tama ka zo zo miru | On a night so dark, The kindled fireflies of The fire within my breast; Loosened from their string As scattered gemstones they appear. |
