あかずして君を恋ひつる涙にぞうきみしづみみやせわたりける

akazushite
kimi o koitsuru
namida ni zo
ukimi shizumimi
yasewatarikeru
An endless hunger is
My love for you;
In tears does
My flesh float and sink
As it grows ever thinner.

かしまなるつくまの神のつくづくと我が身ひとつに恋をつみつる

kashima naru
tsukuma no kami no
tsukuzuku to
wa ga mi hitotsu ni
koi o tsumikeru
In Kashima
Does the God of Tsukuma
Constantly
Upon my flesh, alone,
Lay the burdens of love?

おもひ侘びけぶりは空に立ちぬれどわりなくもなき恋のしるしか

omoiwabi
keburi wa sora ni
tachinuredo
warinaku mo naki
koi no shirushi ka
Suffering from passion’s fire,
Smoke into the skies
Has risen, yet
Of a not unreasonable
Love is this a sign?

人をおもふ心のおきは身をぞやく煙たつとは見えぬものから

hito o omou
kokoro no oki wa
mi o zo yaku
keburi tatsu to wa
mienu mono kara
Loving her
The coals within my heart
Do burn my flesh, though
Of smoke arising
Is there no sign at all…
