冬ふかき野べの御幸のけふしもあれしらふのたかをすゑてけるかな

In the depths of winter
An imperial visit to the meadows
Was there today,
Hawks of white
Would be ready there!

At Ōigawa:
O, pine trees on the bank
I would ask you something:
Was there ever such an imperial visit
In the days of long ago?

When Former Emperor Uda held an imperial excursion to Ōikawa, he stated that the place was truly suited to such an activity, and this was composed to inform His Majesty of the fact.

On Ogurayama,
Had he maples on the peak
Any heart at all,
Now, for one more
Imperial visit would they await…

The Koichijō Grand Minister [Fujiwara no Tadahira]
