Kanpyō no ōntoki kisai no miya uta’awase 53

はなすすきそよともすれば秋風の吹くかとぞきくひとり寝る夜は

hanasusuki
soyo tomo sureba
akikaze no
fuku ka to zo kiku
hitori nuru yo wa
When the silver grass fronds
Rustle all together,
I wonder if ‘tis our autumn wind
Blowing that I hear,
Tonight, as I sleep alone…

Right

音にきく花見にくれば秋の野のみちさまだけにたちわたりつつ

oto ni kiku
hana mi ni kureba
aki no no no
michisamadake ni
tachiwataritsutsu
I have heard of
These blooms I have come to see, so
The autumn meadows
Blocking my way
Will I ever rise to cross…
