うちさめてこひしきひとをおもふよはわがたましひもゆきてつげなん

uchisamete
koishiki hito o
omou yo wa
wa ga tamashii mo
yukite tsugenan
Awaking when
My darling girl
Filled my thoughts all night,
Even my soul
Has gone to let her know!

よはにおきてこひぞわびぬるはるのよはゆめにみえつるひとのなければ

yowa ni okite
koi zo wabinuru
haru no yo wa
yume ni mietsuru
hito no nakereba
Arising at midnight, and
Suffering love’s fire
On a night in spring,
For in my dreams I saw
My girl, though she’s not here now…
