夜もすがら山田の庵は稲妻の光をのみや－灯火にする

yomosugara
yamada no io wa
inazuma no
hikari o nomi ya
tomoshibi ni suru

All throughout the night
In a hut among the mountain fields,
Is the lightning’s
Light alone the only
Lamp?

里遠み山田の庵は稲妻の光のもるをともと見るかな

sato tōmi
yamada no io wa
inazuma no
hikari no moru o
tomo to miru kana

Far from home
In the mountain fields a hut
By lightning’s
Light is drenched,
Which we watch together.

目もかれず守る山田の稲妻の光にふれてただならず見ゆ

me mo karezu
mamoru yamada no
inazuma no
hikari ni furete
tada narazu miyu

Still fresh to my eyes,
The mountain fields I ward
By lightning’s
Light are brushed, and
Appear again anew.

足引きの山田を植て稲妻のともに秋には逢はむとぞ思ふ

asiFiki no
yamada wo uwete
inaduma no
tomo ni aki ni Fa
aFamu to zo omoFu

Leg-wearying
Mountain fields are planted
With lightning;
Together in the autumn
Do they seem to meet, I feel.
