さほやまのははそのいろはうすけれどあきはふかくもなりにけるかな

The oaks’ hues are
Frail, yet
Autumn ever deeper
Grows!

さほやまのみねのもみぢばいろいろにたつあさぎりぞそらにしるらむ

saoyama no
mine no momijiba
iroiro ni
tatsu asagiri zo
sora ni shiruramu
On Mount Sao
The autumn leaves upon the peak
Have many hues—
The rising morning mists mean
That ‘tis surely known up in the skies.

Both deep and pale
Hues are fair extreme!
But on Mount Sao
Until the end of autumn
Frail I would not have them be!

Autumn has come!

あさぎりはたつともみえずいとどしきをぐらのやまのふもととおもへば

The morning mists
Arise, and hidden
Even more are
Gloomy Mount Ogura’s
Foothills…
