Yōzei’in miko futari uta’awase 09

Left

こひしきにねざめてみをぞうきなみのよるぞかなしきそでのひつまで

koishiki ni
nezamete mi o zo
ukinami no
yoru zo kanashiki
sode no hitsu made
Filled with love
I do awake, but
Waves of depression drift,
Breaking the night with sadness
Until my sleeves are drenched through…

うつつにもゆめにもみえずなりぬればさむるよなよなねをのみぞなく

utsutsu ni mo
yume ni mo miezu
narinureba
samuru yonayona
ne o nomi zo naku
In both reality, and
Dreams I see her not—
When it comes to that, then
On waking night after night
Will I simply weep!
