比日之 暁露丹 吾屋前之 芽子乃下葉者 色付尓家里

このころのあかときつゆにわがやどのはぎのしたばはいろづきにけり

kono koro no
akatoki tuyu ni
wa ga yado no
pagi no sitaba pa
irodukinikeri
Around thus time near
Dawn, the dewfall on
My dwelling’s
Bush clover underleaves
Has changed their hue!

Silver dewdrops
Lay dye upon the bush clover’s
Scarlet underleaves:
Reflected in its garb,
Autumn has come!

The wind is chill, with
The crying autumn insects’
Tears;
Bringing colour to the grasses,
The dew seems to fall…

草しげみ下葉かれ行く夏の日もわくとしわけば袖やひちなん

kusa shigemi
shitaba kareyuku
natsu no hi mo
waku to shi wakeba
sode ya hichinan
The grass is thick, with
Underleaves withering
In the summer sun, but
When I try to forge on through,
Will my sleeves seem soaked?

五月雨に物思ひをればほととぎす夜ぶかく鳴きていづち行くらん

samidare ni
mono’omoi oreba
hototogisu
yo fukaku nakite
izuchi yukuramu
When in the drizzling rain,
I’m sunk in gloomy thoughts,
A cuckoo
Sings in night’s depths:
And where might it be going?
