Round Twenty-Four

Left (Tie)

覚束なたれきけとてか時鳥さよふけ方の雲に鳴くらん

obotsukana tare kike tote ka hototogisu sayo fukegata no kumo ni nakuran

I do not understand— Who is it that you demand hears you, O, cuckoo? Toward brief night’s dawn, Calling from within the clouds…

Right

待ちかねしよはも昔にかはらねばことしもつらし山時鳥

machikaneshi yowa mo mukashi ni kawaraneba kotoshi mo tsurashi yamahototogisu

Eagerly awaiting Midnight, to find—as long before— It all unchanged, so This year, too, how cruel is The mountain cuckoo!

Both Left and Right sound suitable. So, they should tie.
