秋きぬとめにはさやかにみえねども風の音にぞおどろかれぬる

aki kinu to me ni wa sayakani mienedomo kaze no oto ni zo odorokarenuru

When autumn came My eyes clearly Could not see it, yet In the sound of the wind I felt it.

わすれじな難波の秋の夜半の空ことうらにすむ月はみるとも

wasureji na naniwa no aki no yowa no sora koto’ura ni sumu tsuki wa miru tomo

Never would I forget Naniwa’s autumn Midnight skies, though Clear above another distant bay The moon I see…
