うつつにもゆめにもひとによるしあへばくれゆくばかりうれしきはなし

utsutsu ni mo
yume ni mo hito ni
yoru shi aeba
kureyuku bakari
ureshiki wa nashi
In reality and
In dreams both, ‘tis her
I meet at night, so
Until the twilight comes
I have no joy, at all.

たまもかるあまとはなしにきみこふるわがころもでのかわくときなき

tamamo karu
ama to wa nashi ni
kimi kouru
wa ga koromode no
kawaku toki naki
Reaping gemweed,
A seaman, I am not, but
Loving you, my lady,
My sleeves are
Dry for not a moment.

夢路にはなれし宿見る現にて宇津の山辺の蔦ふける庵

yumeji ni wa
nareshi yado miru
utsutsu nite
utsu no yamabe no
tsuta fukeru io
Upon the path of dreams
I saw a house I used to know so well;
In reality, it is
Near to Utsu Moutain,
A hut all twined with ivy…

現とも夢とも見えぬ程ばかり通はばゆるせ下紐の関

If it’s a dream, or
If it’s real, I know not, so
While I am unsure
If I should come, permit me
The barrier of  Shitahimo – your under-belt!

Love 73

さぞなげく戀をするがの字津の山うつゝの夢のまたしみえねば

sazo nageku

utsu no yama
utsutsu no yume no
mata shi mieneba
Grieving as he
In love by Suruga’s
Utsu Mountain,
When reality is but a dream
I never will see more.

はまゆふやかさなる山の幾重ともいさしら雲のそこの面影

hamayū ya
kasanaru yama no
ikue tomo
isa shirakumo no
soko no omokage
How many lily leaves of
Overlapping mountain
Folds I have crossed
I know not, yet on the distant clouds’
Surface do I still see her face.
