The End of Spring

Left

をしめどもとどまらなくにはるがすみかへるみちにしたちぬとおもへば

oshimedomo
todomaranaku ni
haragasumi
kaeru michi nishi
tachinu to omoeba
Though sad am I,
There’s no stopping it:
The spring haze
On its homebound path
Has departed.

Right (Win)

とどむべきものとはなしにはかなくもちるはなごとにたぐふこころか

todomubeki
mono to wa nashi ni
hakanaku mo
chiru hanagoto ni
taguu kokoro ka
That would halt them
There is nothing, yet
How hopelessly
To every scattered flower
My heart is drawn.
