Composed on the topic of monkeys howling from the mountain passes on a day when the Cloistered Emperor had gone to the Western River.
わびしらにましらな鳴きそ足引きの山のかひある今日にやはあらぬ
wabisira ni masira na naki so asiFiki no yama no kaFi aru keFu ni ya wa aranu |
So sadly, O Monkeys, howl not! Leg-wearying The mountain valleys are, yet Today, there is no point! |
