Gendainagon-ke uta’awase 7

Left (Tie).
早苗より穂にいづるまで守る田をかりにのみこそ人は見えけれ

sanaFe yori
Fo ni iduru made
mamoru ta wo
kari ni nomi koso
Fito Fa miekere
From seedlings
Until ripened ears appear,
Warding the paddies,
Only briefly, then,
Can folk be seen!

Right.
秋の田に並みよる稲は山川に水ひきうゑし早苗なりけり

midu Fiki’uwesi
sanaFe narikeri
In the autumn fields
Waves run through the ripening rice;
From a mountain stream
Drawn up, the waters
Seedlings have become…

Snipe

たれか又暁ごとに夢さめて羽掻く鴫の声を聞くらむ

tareka mata
akatuki goto ni
yume samete
Fane kaku sigi no
kowe wo kikuramu
Who is it that yet
With every single dawn
Awakens from her dreams, and
The wing-beating snipes’
Cries does hear?

我ならで誰か聞くらむ暁の羽掻く鴫の数を尽くして

ware narade
tare ka kikuramu
akatuki no
Fane kaku sigi no
kazu wo tukusite
If not I, then
Who is it that will hear?
With the dawn
The snipes’ wing-beats
Coming to an end…
