Kanpyō no ōntoki kisai no miya uta’awase 63

Left

雪ふりて年のくれゆく時にこそ終にもみぢぬ松も見えけれ

yuki furite
toshi no kurenuru
toki ni koso
tsui ni momijinu
matsu mo miekere
Snow falls and
The year reaches its evening,
It is at this time that
Truly, evergreen
The pine tree seems.

Right

我が宿は雪ふる野辺に道もなしいづこはかとか人のとめこむ

wa ga yado wa
yuki furu nobe ni
michi mo nashi
izuko wa ka to ka
hito no tomekomu
My home lies
Upon the snow-covered plain
With no path to it;
‘Where might it lie?’ ask
Folk come a’searching.
