‘Upon the Bay of Waka / To leave my name— / If only there was a way, then / I would have you guide me, / O Princess of Tamazushima!’

尋行く和歌のうら路のはま千鳥跡ある方に道しるべせよ

waka no uraji no
hamachidori
ato aru kata ni
michishirube seyo
Coming to pay a visit
To the ways of Waka Bay,
O, plovers on the beach,
How to follow in your footsteps
I would have you guide me!

From the Hundred Poem Sequences presented for former Emperor Horikawa.

うらかぜに吹上のはまの浜千鳥浪たちくらし夜半になくなり

urakaze ni
fukiage no hama no
hamachidori
nami tachikurashi
yowa ni naku nari
Beach breezes
Blow up Fukiage shore, where
The plovers on the beach
As the waves break in the darkness,
Cry out with midnight.

霜のうへに跡ふみつくる浜千鳥行へもなしと鳴きのみぞふる

hamachidori
yukue mo nashi to
naki nomi zo suru
Upon the frost
Treading out tracks are
Plovers on the beach;
With no place to go,
They simply sing!

なみだ川みなぐばかりの淵はあれど氷とけねばかげもやどらぬ

kōri tokeneba
kage mo yadoranu
My river of tears,
Is fit to drown me in
It’s depths, yet
Should the ice not melt,
No sign will linger on…

Koresada shinnō-ke uta’awase 2

はまちどりあきとしなればあさぎりにかたまどはしてなかぬ日ぞなき

hamachidori
aki to shinareba
asagiri ni
kata madowashite
nakanu hi zo naki
The plovers on the beach:
When the autumn comes,
In the morning mists
Do lose their way;
No day dawns without their cries…

あきくればみやまざとこそわびしけれよるはほたるをともしびにして[1]

aki kureba
miyamazato koso
wabishikere
yoru wa hotaru o
tomoshibi ni shite
When the autumn comes
My hut deep in the mountains
Is lonelier by far;
At night with fireflies
For my lantern.
