世中よ道こそなけれ思ひ入る山のをくにも鹿ぞ鳴くなる

yo no naka yo
miti koso nakere
omoFi’iru
yama no woku ni mo
sika zo naku naru
O, the world of men!
There’s no escape, indeed,
I feel!
In the mountains’ heart
A stag calls out.

秋はぎをしがらみふせてなくしかのめには見えずておとのさやけさ

akiFagi wo
sigaramiFusete
naku sika no
me ni Fa miezute
woto no sayakesa
In Autumn bush clover
Entangled and trampling,
The bugling stag
Is out of sight;
How clear the sound, though.
