桜花にほふものから露けきはこのめも物を思ふなるべし

konome mo mono wo
omoFu narubesi | The cherry blossoms
Shine, yet
Dew-drenched are
The buds—eyes filled with gloomy
Thoughts. |
Ōnakatomi no Yoshinobu
On travel.
山超而 遠津之濱之 石管自 迄吾来 含而有待
山越えて遠津の浜の岩つつじ我が来るまでにふふみてあり待て
yama koete
topotu no pama no

wa ga kuru made ni
pupumite mate | I cross the mountains, and
Reach a distant shore;
O, azalea on the crags,
Until I do arrive
Remain within your buds and wait for me! |
