Composed on frogs.
朝霞鹿火屋が下に鳴くかはづ聲だに聞かば我戀ひめやも
asagasumi
kapiya ga sita ni
naku kapadu
kowe dani kikaba
ware kopime ya mo |
In the hazy morning,
Beneath the heated hut
Frogs call:
From my voice, alone,
I wonder, would you love me? |
朝霞鹿火屋が下の鳴く蝦しのひつつありと告げむ兒もがも
asagasumi
kapiya ga sita no
naku kapadu
sinopitutu ari to
tugemu ko mo gamo |
In the hazy morning,
Beneath the heated hut
Frogs call
Secretly, I think of you –
If only there was one to let you know… |
