言に出でて云はばゆゆしみ朝顔の穂には咲き出ぬ恋もするかも
| koto ni idete ipaba yuyusimi asagapo no po ni pa sakidenu kopi mo suru kamo |
If in words I were to speak out, ill-starred it would be, so As a bellflower Bud I will bloom not – that Is how my love shall be! |

はだすすき穂にはな出でそ思ひたる心は知らゆ我れも寄りなむ
| hadasusuki ho ni wa na ide so omoitaru kokoro wa shirayu ware mo yorinamu |
As a fresh sprung Bud, I’ll not show My feelings, but I know my heart: I, too, will yield to him! |
