をしとおもふ心ぞふかき天の河ながれて秋のとまるなるらん

oshi to omou
kokoro zo fukaki
ama no kawa
nagarete aki no
tomaru naruran
Feelings of regret
Lie deep upon my heart;
The River of Heaven’s
Flow autumn
Does seem to halt.

いづくへかあきはゆくらんつのくにのながらへゆくときかばたのまん

izuku e ka
aki wa yukuran
tsu no kuni no
nagara e yuku to
kikaba tanoman
Where might it be that
Autumn does go?
To the land of Tsu,
To Nagara it goes—
If you hear that, then put your trust in it!
