Round Twenty-Nine

Left (Win)

君やあらぬ我が身やあらぬおぼつかなたのめしことのみなかはりぬる

kimi ya aranu wa ga mi ya aranu obotsukana tanomeshi koto no mina kawarinuru

Aren’t you who you once were? Aren’t I who I was then? How strange that All we trusted in Has changed.

Right

恋ひしなん命ぞをしきつれもなき人にしも身をかへんねたさに

koishinan inochi zo oshiki tsure mo naki hito ni shimo mi o kaen netasa ni

That I would die of love Makes me regret my life! But for that cruel Girl should I Exchange myself—exasperating!

I feel the left is old-fashioned, isn’t it? And yet, it is not without feeling. The Right does not have a poor conception, but its diction is insufficient.
