Dairi kiku awase 03

わぎもこがひもゆふぐれのきくなればあかずぞはなのいろはみえける

wagimoko ga
hi mo yūgure no
kiku nareba
akazu zo hana no
iro wa miekeru
My darling girl
Both day and eve is
As a chrysanthemum, so
Never sated am I with this flower’s
Hues I see.

きくのはなふゆののかぜにちりもせでけふまでとてやしもはおくらん

kiku no hana
fuyu no kaze ni
chiri mo sede
kyō made tote ya
shimo wa okuran
Chrysanthemum blooms
In the winter wind
Scatter not;
Is it that up to today is when
Frost is said to fall?

かげさへやこよひはにほふきくのはなあまてるつきにかのそはるらん

kage sae ya
koyoi wa niou
kiku no hana
ama teru tsuki ni
ka no sowaruran
Even their shape
Fills tonight with a scented glow; Chrysanthemum blooms
To the heaven-shining moon
Seem to add their fragrance.
