Yōzei’in ichi no miko himegimi uta’awase 15

Original

おとにのみききわたりつるあきのよのながさをひとりねてぞしりぬる

oto ni nomi
kikiwataritsuru
aki no yo no
nagasa o hitori
nete zo shirinuru
By word alone
Had I heard of
Autumn nights’
Length, but alone and
Sleeping did I understand it!

42

Left (Win)

あきのよのながきにそへてねざめつつつきせぬものをおもふころかな

aki no yo no
nagaki ni soete
nezametsutsu
tsukisenu mono o
omou koro kana
To an autumn night’s
Length, add
Being awake, then
Inexhaustible is the gloom
Filling your thoughts!

43

Right

ひとりねであかぬときにもあきのよのながきこころをしらぬものかは

hitori nede
akanu toki ni mo
aki no yo no
nagaki kokoro o
shiranu mono ka wa
Sleepless alone
When unsatisfied, too,
An autumn night’s
Length, the heart
Knows well, doesn’t it!
