Love 74

Left (Win).

むせぶともしらじな心かはら屋に我のみ消たぬ下の煙は

musebu tomo
shiraji na kokoro
kawaraya ni
ware nomi ketanu
shita no keburi wa
Choking I may be, yet
All unknowing, her heart
Is changed; a brick kiln –
I alone, unextinguished,
Give vent to smoke…

Right.

松山とちぎりし人はつれなくて袖越す浪にやどる月影

matsuyama to
chigirishi hito wa
tsurenakute
sode kosu nami ni
yadoru tsukikage
‘As the eternal peak of Matsuyama’
She vowed, yet was
Heartless;
In the breaking waves upon my sleeves
Rests the chilly moonlight.
