Round Thirty-Nine

Left

たちかへりあはれとぞおもふよそにても人に心をおきつしらなみ

tachikaeri
aware to zo omou
yoso nite mo
hito ni kokoro o
okitsu shiranami
Rising and returning,
Filled with love,
However distant
You are, my heart
Lifts with the whitecaps.

Right

あふことはいつとなぎさのはま千どり浪のたちゐにねをのみぞなく

au koto wa
itsu to nagisa no
hamachidori
nami no tachi’i ni
ne o nomi zo naku
Our meeting—
When will it be? On the seashore
The plovers on the beach
Amid the rising waves
Simply let out sobbing cries!
