我道をまもらば君をまもる覧よはひはゆづれ住吉の松

wa ga michi o
mamoraba kimi o
mamoruran
yowai wa yuzure
sumiyoshi no matsu
My path of poetry
Should you ward, then my Lord
Would you protect?
Bequeath to him your years,
O Pines of Sumiyoshi!

契ありて今日宮河のゆふかづらながき世までにかけてたのまむ

chigiri arite
kyô miyagawa no
yūkazura
nagaki yo made ni
kakete tanomamu
Bonds from the past
This day to Miyagawa take me;
A garland, that
I shall live for ages more,
I’ll hang, and make my plea.
