Hotsprings 出湯
世の人の恋のやまひの薬とや七くりのゆのわきかへるらん
yo no hito no
koi no yamai no
kusuri to ya
nanakuri no yu no
wakikaeruran | For folk in this world
Suffering love’s sickness,
Can this be a remedy?
At Nanakuri, the hotspring
Always gushes forth anew! |

けふごとに菊を薬とする人はちとせのなかは過ぐといふなり
kyō goto ni
kiku o kusuri to
suru hito wa
chitose no naka wa
sugu to iu nari | Every year today
Chrysanthemums for medicine
Do people take, that
A thousand years together
And more will they have, they say. |
