春ふかくなりぬと思ふをさくら花ちるこのもとはまだ雪ぞふる
| Faru Fukaku narinu to omoFu wo sakurabana tiru ko no moto Fa mada yuki zo Furu | Deep, indeed, has spring Become, I feel, when Cherry blossom Scatters around the feet of the trees, so Snow is still a’falling! |

はなも水も心なぎさやいかならむ庭に浪たつはるの木のもと
| hana mo mizu mo kokoro nagisa ya ikanaramu niwa ni nami tatsu haru no ko no moto | Both the blossoms and the waters, too, Touch the shores of my heart— Why should that be? At my estate the breaking waves Of spring wash the bases of the trees. |
