Kanpyō no ōntoki kisai no miya uta’awase 3

Left 梅のはなしるきかならでうつろはば雪降りやまぬ春とこそ見め

ume no hana
shiru ki ka narade
utsurowaba
yuki furiyamanu
haru to koso mime
Of the plum blossom
Is this tree not aware, so
If it fades
An endless snowfall
Will seem to mark this spring.

Right

春の日に霞わけつつとぶ雁の見えみみえずみ雲がくれ行く

haru no hi ni
kasumi waketsutsu
tobu kari no
mie mi miezu mi
kumogakureyuku
The springtime sun
Keeps breaking through the haze, so
The geese, winging,
Appear and are lost to view
Vanishing within the clouds.
